FAX FUNCTIONS
TO USE THIS PRODUCT 
CORRECTLY AS A FACSIMILE
Several points must be kept in mind when using this product as a facsimile.
Please note the following.
Line connection
Be sure to use the provided telephone line cord to connect 
the machine to a telephone line jack. Insert one end of the 
telephone line cord into the LINE jack on the left side of the 
machine as shown. Insert the other end of the telephone 
line cord into a telephone line jack.
Insert the plug firmly until you hear a click.
Setting the date and time and programming your senders name and number
Before using the fax function, you must set the date and time and program your senders name and number in the 
machine. This procedure is explained in POINTS TO CHECK AND PROGRAM AFTER INSTALLATION (p.80) of 
this manual.
Lithium battery
The date and time are protected by a lithium battery in the machine.
 When the battery dies, please contact your local Sharp dealer or SHARP Service Department for assistance in 
disposing of this battery. The machine will not operate once the battery dies.
Please note
In the event of a thunderstorm, remove the power cord from the power outlet to ensure safety. Information will be 
retained in memory even if the power cord is unplugged.

FAX FUNCTIONS
POINTS TO CHECK AND PROGRAM 
AFTER INSTALLATION
After installing the machine and before using it as a fax machine, check the following points and program the
required information.
Set the date and time
The machine has an internal clock. It is important to set the correct date and time because they are used for such 
features as Timer Transmission (p.98).
The date and time are set in the system settings. (p.176)
The date and time appear in the display. Make sure the correct date and time appear. If the date and time are wrong, 
please correct them.
Program the senders name and senders number
The name and fax number of the user of the machine is programmed in Own Passcode Set (p.184) in the system 
settings. (Only one name and number can be programmed.)
The programmed name and number are printed at the top of each transmitted fax page. The senders number is also 
used as an identification number when you use the Polling function to request transmission from another fax 
machine (see SENDING OPTIONS (p.100)).
Paper sizes that can be used for fax mode
The machine can use 8-1/2 x 14, 8-1/2 x 13, 5-1/2x 8-1/2, A4, B5 and A5 size paper; (If your machine uses 
AB-based paper sizes, 8-1/2 x 14, 8-1/2 x 13 and 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 size paper cannot be used in fax mode. 
(Among INCH sizes, only 8-1/2 x 11 and 5-1/2x 8-1/2 can be used.)) 
For this reason, if only paper sizes that can be used in other modes but not in fax mode are loaded in the machine, 
received faxes cannot be printed. 
(For other points regarding fax reception, see RECEIVING FAXES (p.95).)
You can check your programmed name and number by printing out the Administrator Settings List in the system 
settings. (See 
List Setting (p.183).)
For the procedures for loading paper in the trays, LOADING PAPER (p.19).
