8.3.5 Copying
A blank sheet is ejected.LIf a blank sheet is ejected after the received document is printed out, the 
size of the document sent by the other party is as large as, or larger than, 
the recording paper, and the receiving reduction rate is not programmed 
correctly. Program the proper rate in feature #36 (page 33).
LThe other party placed the document in their fax machine facing the wrong 
way. Check with the other party.
The printing quality is poor.Please do not reuse the ink film!
Please use genuine Panasonic replacement film. Refer to page 6 for further 
details.
LThe thermal head is dirty. Clean it (page 46).
LIf documents can be copied properly, the unit is working normally. The other 
party may have sent a faint document or there may be something wrong

document or to check their fax machine.
LSome paper has instructions recommending which side to print on. Try 
turning the recording paper over.
LYou may have used paper with cotton and/or fiber content that is over 20%, 
such as letterhead or resume paper. We recommend smooth paper such as 
“Hammermill Jet Print” for clearer printing.
Recording paper frequently 
misfeeds.LClean the document feeder rollers, recording paper feeder and rubber flap 
(page 45).

8.3.7 If a power failure occurs
LThe unit will not function.
LThe unit is not designed for making emergency telephone calls when the power fails. Alternative arrangements 
should be made for access to emergency services.
LFax transmission and reception will be interrupted.
LIf delayed transmission (feature #25 on page 32) is programmed and a power failure prevents the document from 
being sent at the set time, the document will be sent after power is restored.
LIf any fax documents are stored in the memory, they will be lost. When power is restored, a power down report will 
be printed stating which documents in memory have been erased. A black line, white line or 
smudge appears on the 
copied document.LThe scanner glass or rollers are dirty with correction fluid, etc. Clean them 
(page 45). Please do not insert a document before correction fluid has dried 
completely.
The copied image is 
distorted.LAdjust the width of the document guides to fit the actual size of the 
document.
The printing quality is poor.Please do not reuse the ink film!

machine remotely, but the line 
was disconnected.LThe code may include “#” which is used for certain features provided by 
telephone companies. Change the code on the answering machine to 
another number which does not include “#”.
Callers complain that they 
cannot send a document.LThere is no room left in memory of your answering machine to record voice 
messages. See the operating instructions of the answering machine and

*1 Transmission speed depends on the contents of the 
pages, resolution, telephone line conditions and 
capability of the other party’s machine.
*2 Transmission speed is based on the ITU-T No. 1 Test 
Chart with original mode. If the capability of the other 
party’s machine is inferior to your unit, the 
transmission time may be longer.
*3 If an error occurs during fax reception, such as a 
paper jam or if the recording paper runs out, the fax 
and subsequent faxes will be retained in memory.

10.3 FCC and Other Information
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC 
rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. 
On the rear of this equipment is a label that 
contains, among other information, a product 
identifier in the format US:ACJ----------.
If requested, this number must be provided to the

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to 
the premises wiring and telephone network must 
comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and 
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant 
telephone cord and modular plug is provided with 
this product. It is designed to be connected to a 
compatible modular jack that is also compliant.
The REN is used to determine the number of 
devices that may be connected to a telephone line. 
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in 
the devices not ringing in response to an incoming 
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs 
should not exceed five (5.0).To be certain of the 
number of devices that may be connected to a 
line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the 
local telephone company. For products approved 
after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part 
of the product identifier that has the format 
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by 
## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g.,03 is 
a REN of 0.3).
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone 
network, the telephone company will notify you in 
advance that temporary discontinuance of service 
may be required. But if advance notice isn’t 
practical, the telephone company will notify the 
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be 
advised of your right to file a complaint with the 
FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its 
facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that 
could affect the operation of the equipment. If this 
happens the telephone company will provide 
advance notice in order for you to make necessary 
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for 
repair or warranty information, please contact a 
Factory Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer. If 
the equipment is causing harm to the telephone 
network, the telephone company may request that 
you disconnect the equipment until the problem is 
resolved.Connection to party line service is subject to state 
tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, 
public service commission or corporation 
commission for information.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment 
connected to the telephone line, ensure the 
installation of this equipment does not disable your 
alarm equipment. If you have questions about 
what will disable alarm equipment, consult your 
telephone company or a qualified installer.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible as 
defined by the FCC in 47 CFR Section 68.316.
WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY 
NUMBERS AND(OR) MAKING TEST CALLS TO 
EMERGENCY NUMBERS:
1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to the 
dispatcher the reason for the call.
2) Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, 
such as early morning or late evenings.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC 
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two 
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful 
interference, and (2) this device must accept any 
interference received, including interference that 
may cause undesired operation. 
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly 
approved by the party responsible for compliance 
could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to 
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These 
limits are designed to provide reasonable 
protection against harmful interference in a 
residential installation. This equipment generates, 
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy 
and, if not installed and used in accordance with 
the instructions, may cause harmful interference 
to radio communications. However, there is no 
guarantee that interference will not occur in a 
particular installation. If this equipment does 
cause harmful interference to radio or television 
reception, which can be determined by turning 
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged 
to try to correct the interference by one or more of 
the following measures:
— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
— Increase the separation between the 
equipment and receiver.
— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a 
circuit different from that to which the receiver 
is connected.
— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 
technician for help.
