Welcome to your Muratec fax machine!

We know you want to use your machine now, without first having to

climb over a mountain of jargon.

Find your serial number and write it down

So we’ve divided these instructions into three sections.

Bar

code

label

Before you go any further, please note that

your machine’s serial number is located on the

bar code label as shown on the drawing at

right. It’s probably a good idea for you to copy

this down before you set up your machine.

Use the blank at the bottom of this column.

•

“Gettin g sta r ted ” (see page 1.1) covers only what you absolutely

have to know to use your machine immediately.

•

“Beyon d th e ba sics” (see page 2.1) provides more details. When

you have time, look through it to learn more about your machine’s

many features, as well as fax in general.

Note: The IC label and ID label, required by

government regulations, do not con-

tain serial number information.

IC and ID labels

•

Finally, “J u st in ca se … ” (see page 3.1) will help you decide what

to do if you ever have a problem with your machine. It also tells

you how to give it the kind of easy, sensible care that should help

keep troubles to a minimum.

Close up, the bar code label looks some-

thing like this:

The next two pages show the entire contents of these instructions.

Skim through them now if you’d like (they’ll prove more helpful as

time passes), or just go on past them to “Getting started” and, well,

get started!

Im p or ta n t: Of course, this is not the number which should appear on your

machine’s label. Rather, this is only to give you an idea of how your

label will look.

And thanks for choosing Muratec.

Now, please copy down your machine’s serial number, below, for future reference,

as well as noting the machine’s model number:

A quick introduction to fax in general

What’s a fax document?

Simply put, a fax document is anything a fax user wants to fax to someone else. It

can be just one page or as many pages as you need. That’s up to you. It can be text,

a photograph or even your child’s latest drawing!

What’s a fax number?

Because your fax operates on standard phone lines, a fax number is just a regular

phone number. And, because your fax is also a high-quality, full-featured telephone,

your fax number can be your regular phone number; just add an optional handset to

your fax. Or you can (but this isn’t necessary!) dedicate a phone number to your fax,

letting you use one number just for ordinary voice calls and one just for fax.

What are resolution and grayscale?

J ust as cars are measured by engine size, and stereo systems are measured by

watts per channel, so fax machines are measured by resolution and grayscale. So

let’s talk about these for a moment. Resolution refers to the sharpness of a fax

transmission. It’s expressed in lines per inch (lpi). An international agency has

defined three specific levels of resolution:

•

Normal (203 horizontal × 98 vertical lpi)

Fine (203 × 196 lpi)

Superfine (203 × 392 lpi).

Similarly, one can judge a fax transmission by its number of grayscale levels, or

shades of gray — really, halftones such as you might see in a newspaper photo. It’s

likely most of your fax documents will be dark text on white paper. However, when

you want to send photographs and other shaded items, you can set your fax

machine to transmit in 64-scale grayscale.

So why not always set your fax machine for superfine,

or for grayscale?

Because these settings make your machine send more information, making trans-

missions last longer and (on long-distance calls) driving up your phone bills. That’s

why, as you’ll see, we’ve made it easy for you to set your fax machine for the most

efficient, and truest, transmission of the types of documents you send!

Here’s a brief description of the keys on your fax machine and what they do, as well

as a look at your machine’s indicator lights and their meanings.

P RINTER ALARM ligh t — Glows when your fax machine encounters a problem

printing a fax or copy. Check the display or an error report for more information.

Im p or ta n t: Some of the functions we’ll mention, here, are covered in the “Beyond

P AP ER J AM ligh t — Glows when a printout (received fax message or copy)

becomes jammed in your fax machine.

the basics” section.

MEMORY RECEIVE ligh t — If glowing, indicates your fax machine is receiving

an incoming fax document into the machine’s electronic memory.

REP LACE P AP ER ligh t — Glows when either the multipurpose paper tray or

paper cassette is empty. See page 1.7 for more details on replacing paper.

COMMUNICATION ligh t — If glowing, advises you the fax machine is perform-

ing communication.

HOLD — Either places a call on hold or takes it off hold. In certain operations,

it also produces a special character during dialing.

ALARM ligh t — If glowing, indicates a problem has occurred during fax com-

munication. (It’s also accompanied by several beeps immediately after the

problem occurs.) The light stays lit until the machine prints a Check Message.

SP EED DIAL/TEL INDEX — Starts a speed-dialing operation, which you finish by

pushing three of the keys on the numeric keypad. Also displays one-touch and

speed-dial entries sorted alphanumerically, as in a telephone directory.

AUTO ANSWER — Selects which mode your fax machine uses to handle incom-

ing calls: answering automatically as a fax machine (auto-answer mode) or

waiting for the user to pick up an optional, connected handset (manual-

answer mode). The AUTO ANSWER ligh t next to this key will glow when

auto-answer mode is the current choice.

REDIAL/P AUSE — Redials the last number you dialed. In certain operations, it

also produces a special pause character which can be useful during the dial-

ing of long-distance numbers.

Nu m er ic k eyp a d — J ust like the numeric keys on a regular tone-dialing

phone. In addition to dialing phone and fax numbers, they also enter num-

bers when you’re making certain settings.

MEMORY TRANSMIT — Selects which transmission mode your fax machine uses,

whether from memory or from the document feeder. If the MEMORY TRANSMIT

light next to this key is glowing, your machine will scan documents into mem-

ory before trying to send them. Otherwise, your fax machine will send

straight from the feeder, which is slower and also prevents others in your

office from using the fax until your communication is absolutely complete.

On e-tou ch k eys — The keys labeled

fliptab b) offer one-touch dialing convenience. You also can use the keys labeled

1–P 6 (or 7–P 12, if you’re using fliptab b) for programmable functions: this

Getting started

You’re in control!

We’ve worked hard to make sure your fax machine is easy for you to use. You con-

trol it — not vice versa. So we’ve also tried to make these operating instructions just

as easy. In that spirit, let’s make sure there’s no confusion about how to give your

machine its marching orders.

START — Begins a manual fax transmission or reception.

COP Y — Press this key to make one copy, or multiple copies of a document.

STOP — An all-purpose “Whoa!” key. Stops the current operation, ejects a doc-

ument from the document feeder and cancels alarms.

F LASH — Lets you quickly disconnect a call and go right to the next one with-

out having to hang up the handset.

To press: 0 (zero), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, # or *

Use:

Tip:

The numeric keypad.

At no (other) time within this manual will we refer to the letters printed

below the numeric keys, such as abc by the 2 key. They are there only for

your greater convenience in using your fax machine as a telephone.

STAMP — Press this key to set the machine to stamp each original document

or page automatically when the machine transmits it successfully. The STAMP

ligh t next to this key glows when this operation is set to occur.

MONITOR/CALL — During on-hook dialing, it turns the monitor speaker off or

on. When you’re sending a fax, this key activates the call request feature.

To press:

Use:

Tip:

or any other letter key

The one-touch key by that name.

Please don’t confuse the zero (0) with a letter

CANCEL — Press this key to delete characters on the LCD and cancel com-

mands you have entered into the machine.

Here’s an example. If we say “press /P ROGRAM, 7, ENTER, 0, 8, ENTER” …

DIALING OP TIONS — Press this to insert special symbols into telephone num-

bers (see page 2.8).

… you’d press

… then

/P ROGRAM

ENTER — Much as STOP is a “Whoa!” key, ENTER is a “Go!” key. It confirms

user settings, begins operations and moves through command levels.

… then ENTER

… then 0 (the numeric key zero)

GROUP DIAL — Helps you set up a fax transmission to a call group, a set of fax

numbers which will receive the same document in one fax operation.

… then

… and then (finally) ENTER

/P ROGRAM — Scrolls (moves) through features and command options as dis-

played on the LCD.

Im p or ta n t: Please note that you would n ot be entering any comma or period

characters. Those typographical characters appear in our instructions

merely to serve their usual separative functions and are not intended

for actual entry from your machine’s control panel.

COMMUNICATION OP TIONS — Chooses from among five fax options:

delayed transmission, SecureMail transmission, relay broadcast, polling or

batch transmission.

(In our Internet-savvy age, when even car commercials use

phrases such as “h t t p colon slash w w w dot muracars dash x dash

series dot com slash [etc.],” we can understand how you might other-

wise become confused. But always keep in mind that your fax

machine, advanced though it may be, is not a personal computer and

doesn’t accept the same kind of instructions.)

— Scrolls through features and command options as displayed on the LCD.

BROADCAST — Helps you set up the process of a fax broadcast (sending the

same document to more than one location).

While there is a function (broadcasting) which requires the entry

of commas, we provide special ways to do that, as we’ll explain when

the time comes.

CONTRAST — When a document is in the document feeder, press this key to

toggle among normal, dark or light contrast settings.

RESOLUTION — When a document is in the document feeder, press this key to

toggle among the three resolution modes and the halftone (grayscale) mode.

Setting up

Pick an installation spot before going ahead

Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:

Install the printing supplies

Your fax machine prints incoming faxes and copies with a laser print engine. The

engine requires two types of printing supplies (sometimes also called consumables):

•

Clea n — Dust buildup can damage your machine. (However, do not use a cover!

See next item.)

•

The drum cartridge — It yields 20,000 normal letter-sized printouts (see “Specifi-

cations,” page AI.1). By “normal,” we’re referring to the amount of text and/or

graphics on each page. This is based on an industry-standard test document.

•

In th e op en — Allow at least 12″ of clearance around your machine. Be sure

that you never cover the machine: its vents must be able to “breathe.”

•

The toner cartridge — It yields 5,500 such printouts (see “Specifications,” page AI.1).

Note: The toner cartridge included with your machine is a starter cartridge which

yields 3,600 printouts (see “Specifications,” page AI.1). Please purchase

regular, full-yield toner cartridges from your authorized Muratec dealer.

•

Aw a y fr om d ir ect su n ligh t — This helps avoid overheating.

Dr y — Avoid any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a water foun-

tain) could reach your fax machine.

•

Such high-consumption appliances can cause “draw-downs”

(temporary drops in the power available for other equipment on

the circuit) which could damage your fax machine.

Getting started

Loading paper

Of course, one of your fax machine’s most outstanding features is how it prints

faxes and makes copies on plain paper! Now, everything that comes out of your fax

machine is ready for distribution or archiving, right from the start.

Unpack the toner cartridge from its carton.

Then, holding the toner cartridge with both

hands, shake it well as shown (note the arrows).

The following instructions tell you how to load the recording paper — the paper on

which the fax machine makes its printouts (copies and received faxes). Your

machine can hold up to 650 sheets at a time: 500 sheets in the paper cassette and

150 sheets in the multipurpose tray.

Install the toner cartridge in the printer, making sure that the cartridge’s

four pins (two each at the front and rear sides) fit in the slits inside the

printer frame.

Loading the paper cassette

Pull forward on the paper cassette to slide it out.

Insert up to 500 letter-sized sheets into the cas-

sette, placing the edges of the top sheet under the

metal tabs on the left side of the cassette (viewed

from the cassette’s front, as shown).

Im p or ta n t: Be sure to load the cassette with

only letter-sized paper.

Push the paper cassette back into its original

(closed) position. You’ll feel a click when it’s properly in place.

Swing the printer cover back down. Push

down on a portion of the cover to lock the

cover into its normal position.

Loading the multipurpose tray

You may use either letter- or legal-sized paper in the multipurpose tray, but not

both at the same time; don’t mix the sizes.

Note: The fax machine will not work if the

cover isn’t closed properly.

Paper-width guide

Adjust the multipurpose tray for the

Paper-length guide

length of paper you plan to load. Pull

slightly upward on the paper-length

guide in the cassette, then slide the

guide to the slot (either LTR or LGL) for

the paper size you’ll be loading.

When you install a new drum cartridge

Im p or ta n t: Use this setting only when you are installing a new drum cartridge.

Your fax machine keeps track of how many pages go through the drum cartridge to

let you know when the drum needs to be replaced. Thus, whenever you install a

new drum cartridge, you must “notify” the machine by resetting the drum counter.

(Obviously, before doing so the very first time, you’ll have to finish installing the

machine and then turn it on [see page 1.8].) Here’s how to reset this counter:

Im p or ta n t: You must set your machine to recognize the size of paper you’ve

loaded (see page 1.8 for details).

Slightly “fan” the paper you will be loading, to help ensure smooth feeding.

Press /P ROGRAM, , 2, 1, ENTER. The LCD will show:

Insert up to 150 sheets of paper into the tray. Make sure the paper-length

guide and the paper-width guide now fit against the paper’s edges.

Reset Drum Life

Check Program/Enter

Im p or ta n t: To avoid paper jams, do not refill this tray without first remov-

ing all of any paper which may remain in it. In other words,

don’t just add sheets to an already-loaded stack.

Press ENTER to reset the drum counter.

Using a small Phillips-head screwdriver, attach the handset cradle to the side

of your fax machine using the screws included with the cradle.

Press MONITOR/CALL again to hang up.

LINE EXT.TEL HANDSET

Plug one end of the handset cord (it’s curled) into the

HANDSET jack on the rear of your fax machine.

Attaching a second phone

Want to attach a second phone (even a cordless model!) to your fax machine, so they

can share the same phone jack? No problem.

Plug the other end of the handset cord into the jack on the handset. If con-

nected to a phone line, your fax machine is now “off-hook.”

Note: The handset has a small “flash” button which you can press while

holding the handset, putting the fax machine back “on-hook” until you

can hang up the handset properly in step 4.

Before we go further, let’s explain the idea. You’re plugging the second phone’s

phone line into your fax machine’s EXT. TEL jack, not the wall phone jack. In such a

setup, only your fax machine connects to the wall. The second phone receives phone

signals through your fax machine.

Place the telephone handset onto the handset cradle. The cradle will press

the handset’s “flash” button, hanging up the handset.

Now, let’s proceed …

If your second phone is already plugged into a wall phone jack, disconnect it

from that jack, at the jack. Hold onto the phone plug; you’ll need it in step 2.

Installation complete!

Now, see how our EasyStart feature will have

you up and running — within just minutes.

Note: Of course, if your second phone is a model which also requires AC

power, as is true for the base of a cordless phone, don’t unplug it from

its AC power jack!

Getting started

EasyStart

Your Muratec fax machine comes with EasyStart. It guides you in entering the

bare-bones settings required for normal operation — so it’s easy for you to start

using your machine quickly. (Of course, you can make other settings later or change

these settings. We’ll explain in “Beyond the basics,” beginning on page 2.1.)

Th e n a m e a n d fa x n u m ber you w ish to a p p ea r on you r fa xes —

Every fax page you send will arrive at the receiving machine with a single

line of text at the very top of the page. Among other things, this text will list a

name and a fax number. The name must not be longer than 25 characters.

Im p or ta n t: At the end of EasyStart, your machine will print a list of its settings.

So, first, please be sure you’ve correctly installed your machine and

loaded recording paper into it (see “Setting up,” beginning on page 1.6).

Note: Incidentally, the fax industry term for this text is Transmit Terminal

Identifier (TTI). (Another term, Subscriber ID, refers to just the fax

number in the TTI.)

Contrast

Some guidelines

The rightmost item appearing on the LCD (when there’s a document in the feeder) is

the contrast setting. You have three choices:

How big — and small — your pages can be

While you’ll probably be sending normal-sized documents the vast majority of the

time, you can fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or nearly 3′ long!

•

Normal (“NORM” on the control panel) — Suited to most documents.

Light — Lightens up overly dark, “muddy” original documents.

Dark — Darkens weak, “washed-out” images.

To be precise, the acceptable dimensions (width × length) are:

SINGLE-SHEET TRANSMISSION

MULTIPLE-SHEET TRANSMISSION

Maximum:

Minimum:

Note: Until you become accustomed to using the Light and Dark settings, you

might tend to confuse them. J ust remember what we say above — “Light

lightens” and “Dark darkens” — to keep it straight!

Maximum:

Minimum:

11.0″ ×35.4″

10.1″ ×14.4″

5.8″ × 4.1″

Things not to put in your fax

To help avoid troubles ranging from paper jams to out-and-out damage to your

machine, please d on ’t in ser t:

Entering a pause character when dialing

Your fax machine provides special dialing characters which you may find useful.

We’ll discuss most of them later (see page 2.8), but you may need to know now

about the pause character. Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses, and

pauses can be useful also when you’re dialing through special telephone exchanges.

•

Folded, curled, torn, wrinkled or very thin pages

Documents with staples, glue, tape, paper clips or still-wet correction fluid

“Sticky notes” (or documents with “sticky notes” attached)

Cardboard, newspaper or fabric

To insert a pause character, just press REDIAL/P AUSE (after you’ve dialed at least one

other character). -/(the pause character) will appear on the display.

Each pause you enter lasts for a factory-set five seconds (see “Changing the pause

length,” next page, for how to change this setting).

For example, assuming the pause is at the factory setting, pressing 9,

REDIAL/P AUSE, 19725552009 dials 9 [5-second pause] 1 9 7 2 5 5 5 2 0 0 9.

Pages with duplicating carbon on either side

Credit cards or similar small, thick items

Some thoughts on resolution, grayscale and contrast

Im p or ta n t: Each pause uses two of the characters you’re allowed in a number.

Reviewing resolution and grayscale

•

Normal resolution (“NORM” on the control panel) is suitable for most typed docu-

ments and simple drawings.

Fine resolution (“FINE” on the control panel) is ideal for maps, moderately compli-

cated drawings, floorplans or handwritten documents.

Superfine resolution (“S-FINE” on the control panel; “S Fine” on the LCD) repro-

duces the detail of extremely complicated drawings or line art.

Grayscale mode (“HALFTONE” on the control panel; “Gray” on the LCD) captures

shades in photos and drawings.

Note: If you send a fax in superfine, certain fax models (especially older, non-

Muratec models) will receive it only in fine mode. However, you can send a

fax in grayscale mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.

Changing the pause length

How to insert a document

The pause is set by the factory to last five seconds, but you can set it to last as long

as ten seconds if necessary. If you find the five-second pause is satisfactory when

you use it with your phone system, do not make this change. But, if you must:

Adjust the document guides — by sliding either of them to the left or right —

to fit the page (s) you’ll be faxing. Your fax machine’s automatic document

feeder will hold up to 50 pages.

Press /P ROGRAM, , 0, 5, ENTER.

Note: If your machine’s scanning width (see page 2.2) is set for “A4” (its only

such setting if it’s either an F-120 or F-100) and you insert a letter-

sized document, your machine scans the center 8.2″ and sends it

unreduced (see pages 2.3–2.4 for more on reduction). This means that

there will be a 0.15″ margin on each side of the page which your fax

machine will not scan.

Set Dialing Pause

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.

Otherwise, proceed to step 2.

Use the numeric keypad to enter the desired length of the dialing pause.

Here, we’ve chosen nine seconds.

If you’re sending a multi-page document, “fan”

the pages slightly. The bottom sheet should

extend just slightly from the others.

Set Dialing Pause

Insert the document fa ce u p . The fax machine

will “grab” the first page of the document and

position it for faxing. (If need be, readjust the

document guides for the best fit.)

Note: The length setting requires two digits, so there always must be a lead-

ing zero for lengths other than 10 seconds.

Press ENTER to save the setting.

The LCD will now show the current scanning

width setting (see “A4, B4, A3” in the Glossary

that begins on page 3.17) and the amount of memory available:

Potential problems with call-waiting and voice mail

Telephone call-waiting signals can stop fax transmission and reception. And, of

course, any service — such as voice mail — which may intercept your calls can keep

your fax machine from getting fax calls.

Document Ready

Speaking of memory . . .

If you must use only one phone line, please consult your telephone company for

information on how you can temporarily disable call-waiting or voice mail while

using the fax machine.

Using memory transmission

Your fax machine has a great memory! And, because it does, it can finish fax jobs

more quickly than otherwise would be possible. By automatically scanning your

document into, then transmitting from, its memory — rather than transmitting

each part of the scan only as quickly as the receiving fax machine can receive it —

your fax machine can hand you back your original document more rapidly.

Adjusting the machine for larger documents

If you’re using larger documents, you can adjust the document hopper and the docu-

ment tray. J ust flip the top up or down, as appropriate for your documents’ sizes.

Also, here’s a real money-saver on long-distance fax calls: if you’re transmitting to

another memory-equipped Muratec fax machine, your machine will send the docu-

ment directly into the other machine’s memory and hang up! (The receiving

machine then prints out your message from its memory.) This cuts your actual on-

line time to a minimum.

Better still: set up a delayed command (see pages 2.21–2.23) to send your document

to that other Muratec fax machine after hours, and you’ll save two ways on the call:

not only will the call itself be short, but also the line charges will be cheaper!

You can set your fax always to transmit from memory as a default.

“Toggle” (switch on or off) memory transmission if necessary.

If you want to use your default setting, skip to step 4.

Otherwise, press MEMORY TRANSMIT once to “toggle” memory transmission.

Note: Whichever choice you make, you can override that choice one transmission

at a time by pressing MEMORY TRANSMIT. After completing the communica-

tion, your fax will return to your desired transmission setting.

Enter the fax number.

(In fax terms, you’re calling the remote fax, on its remote fax number.)

Note: Although it’s probably best to decide to transmit from memory, be aware that

certain types of documents can quickly exhaust even your machine’s large

memory supply. Obviously, documents with large numbers of pages qualify;

so do documents with lots of dark areas, since darker pages create more

data for your fax machine to “remember” and send. When the machine’s

memory supply is full, it can transmit only in normal (i. e., non-memory)

mode.

Because your fax machine can store multiple transmission commands in memory,

it keeps track of each command by assigning it a command number — e. g., “C00.”

When your machine stores a document for either normal sending from the feeder

(i. e., as opposed to using on-hook dialing or a handset) or automatic redial, that

makes that document one of those stored commands.

is only for on-hook dialing. Your fax machine does not have a speakerphone.

That may be what you’re wondering, upon seeing the title above. After all, telling

you how to send faxes is one thing, but — as long as the fax machine is running and

has paper installed — why spend time on explaining how to receive faxes?

Well, you have a point. Still, there are just a few little niceties you may find helpful

to know. So …

Different ways to get the job done

Reception modes

Your fax machine has two different reception modes — Tel Ready and Fax Ready —

each of which we’ll explain in a moment — along with giving you an idea of which

one you should use, depending upon your setup.

Answering calls manually — for both reception modes

In either reception mode, you always can answer calls manually if you have an

optional handset installed. J ust pick it up, as you would if using a normal phone.

If you hear someone speaking to you, go ahead and

have a normal phone call.

If you hear distinctive fax tones (“beep — beep

— beep — beep”), press START and hang up the

optional handset. Your fax machine will begin

receiving a fax.

Note: On an F-150, receiving this way disables

“V.34” mode so that the machine

receives the fax in normal ITU-T Group 3

fashion.

• You’re using, on that line, at least one other phone which is not

connected to your fax machine

and

• You have installed an optional handset on your fax machine.

Receiving when out of paper

If your machine runs out of paper while you’re away, it will store in memory up to

50 separate fax receptions (see the note, below). This is called out-of-paper reception.

Then, when you replenish the paper supply, the fax machine will print the stored

messages automatically! This is a great ease to your peace of mind, especially for

overnight and weekend sessions.

Note: How many pages (as opposed to receptions) your fax machine can store for

out-of-paper reception will vary. It depends upon not only your machine’s

memory capacity but also the types of documents being sent, and the resolu-

tion settings at which the documents are sent, to your machine.

Using U4/CODE to enter characters

Certain settings give you a chance to enter some kind of identifying name. As

explained earlier (page 1.11), you can do this with the one-touch keys. But you may

also use the U4/CODE key in combination with other keys to produce a wide variety

of characters, as well as regular letters and numbers. Here’s how to do it:

Making settings for printing faxes

You can set three parameters for printing received fax messages:

•

Print reduction rate

Reduction margin

Half-page reception

When the machine prompts you to enter a name, press U4/CODE. The display

will change to:

You set all three in the same operation (see next page), but each deserves its own

brief explanation.

Print reduction rate

Print reduction lets you set the machine to reduce a large incoming document to a

size which will fit on your paper. This setting doesn’t affect copies you may make

with your machine. Fortunately, however, it also has copy reduction (see page 2.4).

Consult the chart below and find the character you wish to enter.

While handy, the reduction feature can’t solve every situation. (Also, the

Reduction margin

Your fax machine’s reduction margin is measured in millimeters (mm). We’ll define

it by explaining how it’s used:

To change the setting, use the numeric keypad to enter the reduction margin

you want. If necessary, press

or /P ROGRAM to move the cursor if you

need. In this example, we’ve chosen 35mm.

When a fax message enters your machine’s electronic brain, the machine measures

the message’s length and compares it to (a ) the length of your selected paper p lu s

(b) the reduction margin you set. If the length of the incoming message is shorter

than the sum of (a ) and (b), your machine prints the message on just one sheet;

otherwise, it prints the message on more than one sheet.

Prnt Reduc Rate:

91%

Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD shows the current setting for half-

page reception:

Note: An Auto reduction setting and a reduction margin setting of 24mm will

print most incoming faxes as single pages. Try this combination first and

then, only if you have problems with it, select different settings.

Half Page Recpt:

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 7.

Otherwise, proceed to step 6.

Half-page reception

Half-page reception is especially handy for saving paper if some of the faxes you

receive are half-page, “memo-sized” messages. When activated, this feature tells the

machine to combine two of these half-page receptions onto a single sheet. Half-page

reception combines separate half-page messages sent back-to-back during the same

transmission. If you have half-page reception turned on, your fax won’t hold a

standalone half-page reception in memory until a second half-page message follows.

To change the setting, press

That’s why your fax machine gives you the chance of operating in Error Correction

receiving fax machine can’t verify the transmission, the first machine will re-send

Autodialer

Your fax machine’s autodialer is one of its most versatile features. It stores your

most frequently called phone and fax numbers for instant recall so you don’t have to

remember them. Now, it’s easy to dial even the most complicated international

calls!

As you store the numbers — we’ll get to that shortly — you’ll see how to enter the

names so you can use this extremely handy feature.

Special dialing characters

Which number do you find easier to read: 919725552009 or 9-1-972-555-2009?

Obviously, it’s the second one. The hyphen (or dash) character (“-”) separates the

number into its various parts — in this example, a 9 for outside-line access, a 1 for

long-distance access, the area code and the phone number.

Autodialer basics

How do you autodial?

There are two kinds of autodialer numbers. The difference between the two is how

you “call them up,” so to speak:

Imagine how much more important this can be if you also have to use special long-

distance access codes, country codes for international calling, etc.

Also, certain calls require special symbols besides just numerals to get through. If

you make calls to other countries — or just have your fax machine on an unusual

phone system — you’ll want to be able to put the appropriate characters in the

numbers you store. Otherwise, your autodialer won’t be so “auto” after all!

the right side of the control panel.

That’s why your fax machine allows you to enter special dialing characters. Here’s a

brief description of these characters, as well as how you can put them in the num-

bers you store in the autodialer:

from 001 to 140.

Your fax machine’s autodialer will hold more than just fax numbers: you can store

Mom’s phone number along with your warehouse’s fax number.

(Has no effect in the United States.)

How? Because, when you command the autodialer to dial a number, the fax checks

to see whether there’s a document in the feeder. If there is, the machine dials as a

fax machine (i. e., dials while sending fax tones). If there isn’t, it dials as a phone.

Your machine also features a built-in EasyDial directory (see pages 2.15–2.16). This

lets you enter your fax/phone numbers along with descriptive names. (Your

machine calls this name a Location ID.) The autodialer sorts these listings alphabet-

ically so, with EasyDial, you can look them up by name as if you were using a phone

book!

be up to 40 characters in length:

As we’ll explain more fully later, your fax machine can broadcast — send the same fax

to numerous remote machines (see “Broadcasting,” page 2.18). As you “train” your

autodialer, you may wish to set up call groups. These are sets of phone numbers,

arranged as you see fit, which make broadcasting simpler. For example, you may

wish to have one call group consisting of all your clients in a particular city, another

group with all of your field sales team members, another with all your vendors and

still another with the various financial institutions with which you do business.

Also, one number can belong to as many as 32 groups.

Your display can show only 20 characters at a time. To view characters beyond

Your fax machine can store as many as 200 numbers in up to 32 different call

groups. In the following explanations of how to store autodialer numbers, you’ll see

that it’s easy to assign those numbers to call groups, for your maximum conve-

nience! Also, you can easily print a directory of your call groups (see page 2.15).

Note: You also can use this method to dial a fax call when, for some reason, you

want to hear the other fax’s answering fax tones. (Make sure there’s a docu-

ment in the feeder.) When you do hear those tones, press START to send the

document in the feeder; if you’d lifted the handset, hang it up at this point.

As we mentioned before, your fax machine will store up to 140 speed-dial numbers,

designated by three-digit identifier codes from 001 (the first number) through 140.

Im p or ta n t: When entering the identifier code for a speed-dial number, you must

enter leading zeroes, if necessary, to make three digits (e. g., 001 or 027).

Of course, speed-dial numbers 100–140 don’t require leading zeroes.

Printing a list of your speed-dial numbers

You can easily print a list of your speed-dial numbers. The list includes each number’s

three-digit identifier, the Location ID (if any), number and any group number[s]

you’ve stored in the number.

Press Start

9-555-5783_

Note: Remember that your fax machine’s monitor speaker is not a speakerphone;

so, if you dialed by using the monitor speaker, be sure to pick up the hand-

set and speak to the other person when he/she answers!

To print the list, press /P ROGRAM, B, 3, ENTER.

Note: You also can use this method to dial a fax call when, for some reason, you

want to hear the other fax machine’s answering fax tones. (Make sure

there’s a document in the feeder.) When you do hear those tones over either

your handset or the monitor speaker, press START to send the document in

the feeder; if you’re using your handset, hang it up at this point.

Printing a call group directory

Another convenient feature your fax machine offers is the ability to print a call group

directory. (If necessary, review “Considering call groups,” page 2.9.) This lists all your

stored autodialer numbers by Location ID and indicates to which of the 32 possible call

groups each belongs.

Erasing a speed-dial number

The directory divides the call groups into four banks, 00–09, 10–19, 20–29 and 30–32.

EasyDial directory dialing

When the LCD is showing the name you want to dial, press START.

•

If there is a document in the feeder, your machine will dial a fax call to the

selected autodialer number.

The EasyDial directory dialing feature makes your autodialer even more like an

electronic phone book. EasyDial sorts and displays numbers alphabetically accord-

ing to their Location IDs, so you can easily find them and dial them. When the name

you want appears, you just press START to begin a call (either phone or fax). Your

machine’s EasyDial directory alphabetizes in the following order: upper-case let-

ters; lower-case letters; and, finally, symbols and numbers.

•

If there isn’t a document in the feeder, your machine will activate the mon-

itor speaker and dial a regular phone call. (Remember that, to make a

regular phone call from your machine, you must have attached an optional

handset.) At this point, you may either:

— Lift the handset now

If you want to use EasyDial to make a regular phone call, make sure there’s

no document in the feeder and then skip to step 4.

If you want to use EasyDial to send a fax, insert the document.

— Listen to the monitor speaker until you hear the other person answer,

and then lift the handset.

Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary.

What if an EasyDial call doesn’t go through?

If an EasyDial call fails (for example, because of a busy signal), what happens next

depends upon the kind of call it was.

If you want to toggle between transmission from memory and transmission

from the feeder, press MEMORY TRANSMIT.

Broadcasting

The basics of broadcasting

Delayed broadcasting

The fastest way to fax one document to multiple recipients is broadcasting — and

your fax machine has very powerful broadcasting capabilities. You ca n u se br oa d -

ca stin g fr om a n y fu n ction r equ ir in g th e en tr y of a fa x n u m ber ! That means

you can perform delayed broadcasting (see pages 2.21–2.23), SecureMail broadcast-

ing (see pages 2.46–2.49) and even broadcasting to “hub” units for relay broadcast

initiation (see pages 2.19–2.20).

What if you want the broadcast to happen later? That’s the purpose of setting up a

delayed broadcast.

Note: Actually, we’re jumping the gun a bit here; the main discussion of delayed

commands comes up in “The time machine: delayed transmission” (pages

2.21–2.23). You may wish to read that material before proceeding.

[Same as steps 1–4 of “The basics of broadcasting” (left column).]

In an ordinary broadcast, you send as you normally would, except for one simple

change: you just add more fax numbers! You can enter up to 220 numbers (20 nor-

mally dialed numbers, plus one call group with all 200 autodialer numbers).

Press COMMUNICATION OP TION, ENTER.

We’ll assume you’ve become familiar with regular fax transmission, and shorten the

instructions a bit so you can more readily see the differences.

Use the numeric keypad to enter the day of the month and time when you

want the fax to perform the broadcast. Here, we’ve set it to occur at 10:15 PM

on the 30th.

Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as usual.

Delayed

Press BROADCAST.

Enter the first fax number — a one-touch number, a speed-dial number, a call

group or just a regular number dialed from the numeric keypad as usual.

When finished, press ENTER to save the setting.

Now, press START. Your machine will return to its normal standby mode,

while showing this on the LCD:

To add each successive fax number, press BROADCAST between each one to

insert a comma (GROUP DIAL inserts its own comma), then enter the number as in

step 3. You can specify up to 220 locations by entering up to 20 numbers or call

groups (see first paragraph, above) for a broadcast.

** Reserved **

This means your fax machine is “reserved” for the delayed broadcast you

just programmed.

If you have set the machine for transmission from memory (see pages

1.14–1.15), it will scan the document into memory, after which you can use

the machine normally.

If you have set the machine for transmission from the feeder (i. e., non-memory

transmission), the machine can receive faxes but can’t transmit until after the

delayed broadcast occurs.

Press Start

C,9-5551204,S118,J

Im p or ta n t: Do n ot insert a comma after the last fax number.

Note: If you enter characters by mistake, just press CANCEL to clear them

before proceeding.

Press START. Your fax machine will scan the document into memory and then

send it to each number or call group you’ve entered.

The main idea is: when it’s time within an operation for entering the fax number to

which you’re to send your document, you enter multiple numbers until you’ve either

reached 20 numbers or finished dialing all you want to dial for this document.

Setting it up, or initiating the initiation

For you to perform relay broadcast initiation, three things must be true:

Relay broadcasting and relay broadcast initiation

Relay broadcasting is a powerful function that takes advantage of a remote Muratec

“hub” fax machine’s memory to reduce your total communication costs.

Note: If you’re not sure whether the unit to which you want to transmit is a

true “hub” unit, please consult your authorized Muratec dealer or call

the Muratec Customer Support Center at (972) 364-3350.

A “hub” fax machine is one to which you send a document, so the “hub” can relay it to

other machines which you don’t actually call. The “hub” performs a relay broadcast,

and the machine which sends the original document to the “hub” has performed a

relay broadcast initiation. Your fax machine can perform either operation; in other

words, your machine can either send to a “hub” unit or be a “hub” unit.

•

The call group(s) must exist on the remote fax machine.

You must know each call group’s two-digit identifier number.

To set up a relay broadcast initiation:

How it works

Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as usual.

Let’s say you’re in Los Angeles and need to fax the same document to four locations

in the Chicago area. You could send four normal fax transmissions, but that would

be four long-distance calls. However, with relay broadcast initiation, you send the

document once to your Chicago office’s “hub” fax, which then sends it on to each of

the four locations.

Now, let’s be a little more specific about what happens when you perform relay

broadcast initiation:

•

You use your fax machine to send a document to at least one call group in a

remote “hub” machine’s autodialer. This can occur either immediately or as a

delayed command (see pages 2.21–2.23).

What you do now depends upon when you wish to begin initiating the

relay broadcast.

Beyond the basics

Reviewing or cancelling delayed commands

If you’ve stored a delayed command in your fax machine, it will hold it in memory

until it either completes the command successfully or reaches its maximum number

of redial attempts (see pages 1.16–1.17). Your machine can store up to 99 delayed

commands. It identifies each by a two-digit command number ranging from 00 to 98.

To keep this command (i. e., to abort cancellation) but continue reviewing

stored commands, press /P ROGRAM.

To keep this command and stop reviewing commands, press STOP to return

your machine to standby mode.

To go ahead with cancelling the command, press CANCEL again and return to

step 2 to view other commands.

The same procedure lets you both display your machine’s stored commands and

have a chance to cancel them, if necessary:

Note: See also “Reviewing or cancelling parts of a broadcast,” below.

You can toggle between cancelling the command and turning off/on the confirma-

tion report feature by pressing REVIEW COMMANDS.

Press REVIEW COMMANDS.

If you r m a ch in e is cu r r en tly h old in g n o d ela yed com m a n d s — It

will beep briefly and display “No Command” on the LCD. To return to

standby mode, press STOP . To toggle the confirmation report feature for

only the next fax transmission, press REVIEW COMMANDS.

Reviewing or cancelling parts of a broadcast

You also can review or cancel certain numbers within a broadcast:

Press REVIEW COMMANDS.

•

But if there are commands in your machine’s memory, the LCD will show:

Note: If your machine is attempting to perform a command now, it will

appear on the display.

C00:9-5552311

To cancel this command, skip to step 3.

To review a different command, proceed to step 2.

Here, you see command 00, followed by the phone number it’s to dial. If the

command is to perform a broadcast, “Broadcast” will appear instead of the

phone number. (See “Broadcasting,” pages 2.18–2.20.)

If necessary, press /P R OGR AM repeatedly to scroll through currently

stored commands.

Note: You may stop this operation any time you wish; just press STOP

If the command is to perform a batch transmission, the LCD will show its

batch box number (such as “B01”) rather than the command number. (See

“Basket cases: batch transmission,” pages 2.24–2.27.)

If you want to cancel the currently shown command, press CANCEL, CANCEL.

If you want to review individual numbers within this broadcast, go on to

step 4 without pressing CANCEL.

If the command is to perform a continuous polling operation, the LCD will

show its continuous polling operation number (such as “P00”) rather than the

command number. (See “Polling,” on pages 2.31–2.33 within the “Special fea-

tures” chapter.)

To review individual numbers within this broadcast, press BROADCAST to see

the first number. The LCD will show:

9-5550388

Note: If your machine is attempting to perform a command now, it will

appear on the display.

To cancel this command, skip to step 3.

To review a different command, proceed to step 2.

If this is the number you want to cancel, skip to step 6.

If it is not, proceed to step 5.

If necessary, press /P R OGR AM repeatedly to scroll through currently

stored commands.

Press /P R OGR AM to move on to the next number, and keep doing so until

you find a number you do wish to cancel; then proceed to step 6.

Note: You may stop this operation any time you wish; just press STOP

Press CANCEL, CANCEL. The next number will appear.

If you wish to cancel this number, as well, repeat this step.

If you wish to cancel a different number, go back to step 5.

If you want to cancel the currently shown command, press CANCEL. The LCD

will show:

Printing a delayed command list

Can’t remember some details about a delayed transmission command you set up?

Or, let’s say, someone else in your office is the one who set it up, but now he or she

has left for the night and you have no idea why the machine is “reserved” and how

long it’ll stay that way!

Fortunately, your machine can print a command list which tells you:

•

The command’s identification number

The phone number, or “remote location”

The start time (which appears in the same DD,HH:MM format you saw in the pre-

vious instructions for actually setting up a delayed transmission command)

•

A “note” telling if the command is a polling or relay broadcast initiation operation

(see pages 2.31–2.33 for more on the former and 2.19–2.20 for more on the latter)

•

Any selected call groups, SecureMail boxes or database files

To print a delayed command list, press /P ROGRAM, , 1, ENTER.

Printing a stored document

Your fax machine can produce a printout of each document stored for delayed trans-

mission. You’ll need to know the document’s command number, which you can

confirm by either reviewing the commands (see page 2.22) or printing a delayed

command list (see above).

Press /P ROGRAM, , 2, ENTER. The LCD shows:

Print Stored Doc.

Command No.: _

Use the numeric keypad to enter the command’s identification number, 00–98.

For example, we could enter the following for the very first command, 00:

Print Stored Doc.

Command No.: 00_

Press ENTER. Your fax machine will print a copy of the stored document.

Basket cases: batch transmission

Broadcasting (see pages 2.18–2.20) gets the same document to multiple locations,

but what about the reverse? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just stack several docu-

ments into an electronic “basket” and then fling the entire contents of that basket

via fax to one location? Well, you can: it’s called batch transmission.

Use the numeric keypad to enter the fax number exactly as your machine

should dial it, including whatever access codes your phone system may

require. (You may want to review “Special dialing characters,” page 2.8.) The

number can be up to 40 characters in length:

If there are several documents you want to transmit to the same location, you can

store up to 40 documents (not pages) into your machine’s electronic batch boxes. The

machine can use up to five of these batch boxes, in which you designate in advance

when the transmission is to occur and to what remote number it should go. When

that date and time arrives, your machine will transmit each document in the batch

box to the remote fax machine.

Note: If you send to another plain-paper fax machine, that machine will print this

cover page as a full-sized page with the information box at the top, followed

by the actual document you’re faxing.

How large a bottom margin will result when a thermal-paper fax machine

prints the cover page varies from one model to the next. The only way to tell

for sure is to send a transmission — with, obviously, the cover page feature

activated (see right column) — to the specific thermal-paper machine in

question and see what happens.

Make sure that:

•

Regular polling — Retrieves a document from the remote fax machine.

•

The remote fax machine is a memory-equipped Muratec or Murata fax

machine which has a file stored in its memory, ready for polling.

Database polling — (Possible only in communication with certain memory-equipped

Muratec or Murata fax machines) Retrieves a document stored as a file in the remote

fax’s memory. Great for getting price list and other frequently updated documents.

•

You know the one- or two-digit database file number of each file you wish

to poll from the remote machine.

Erasing a stored polling document

To erase from your machine’s memory a document you’ve stored for regular or data-

base polling by another machine:

Limiting polling access to your fax machine

Your machine’s closed network setting (see page 2.52) works for polling, as well. If a

If you are erasing a document set up for regular polling, skip to step 4.

If you are erasing a document set up for database polling, proceed to step 3.

OneLine + distinctive ring detection

Use the numeric keypad to enter a one- or two-digit database file number to

identify the stored document.

It used to be that, to have two phone numbers, you had to have two phone lines

(and the more expensive phone equipment that usually involves). But many phone

companies now offer their customers a special service which makes it possible for

one phone line to do the work of two — a real boon in this day of the “SOHO” (small

office/home office).

Press ENTER. Your fax machine will erase the document from memory.

With this service, you physically still have one phone line; but, electronically, you

have two phone numbers. Each number rings your phone in a different way than

the other number does.

This makes it easy for you to have both (for example) a business number and a home

number on one phone line, so you can answer one with “J ane Doe Consulting,” and

the other with “Hello.” You get the idea: this works because you’re smart enough to

tell the difference between the distinctive patterns of the two rings.

But what if your fax machine, too, could be smart enough? Then it could ignore one

of the two numbers, “knowing” that it’s supposed to answer only the other one.

Well, as you’ve probably guessed by now, that’s exactly what your fax machine can do.

All you have to do is give it a little help at the beginning and begin to enjoy the benefits

of its OneLine + distinctive ring detection (DRD) feature.

distinctive ring service. When it does, it will assign a ring pattern, expressed in

time. For example, the standard telephone ring is 2 seconds “on” (ringing) and 4

seconds “off” (silent), after which it repeats itself (hence the term, ring pattern).

Ring Pattern:

Program/Enter

Some telephone companies provide only a very general description — for example,

“short-short-long” — of their DRD ring patterns. Fortunately, however, your fax has

eight possible distinctive ring patterns for use with OneLine + DRD; one of them

should work with your phone company’s DRD service. This chart lists the patterns:

If “A” is the pattern you want, skip to step 7.

If not, proceed to step 6.

DRD service for you. If possible, also find out which distinctive ring pattern the

phone company has assigned you.

Call request

Wondering why your monitor speaker’s activation key is called MONITOR/CALL?

Now, we’ll explain the CALL part of the name. It may be hard to believe, but you

actually can send or receive a fax message and have a regular phone conversation

on the same call (although, obviously, not at the same time). This is called a call

request. It doesn’t matter whether you’re sending the fax or receiving it. You may

Faxing/receiving first, then talking

To send or receive a fax first and then talk:

While your fax machine is sending or receiving the fax, press MONITOR/CALL.

Numbering pages

J ust before sending a fax, you can set your fax machine to number each page in

order. This will help the recipient (or recipients) keep track of all the pages.

At the remote fax machine, the ringer will ring after that machine receives

each page.

If someone answers at the remote fax machine, your fax machine will ring

several times. If so, pick up the optional handset. In a few seconds, the line

will open and you can begin your conversation.

To set up page numbering:

Count the number of pages in your document.

indicate the number of the page — such as “P.02” for page two.

When you hear fax tones, press START and — now! — hang up your machine’s

Responding to a call request

If someone requests a call from you during a fax communication, you’ll hear a long

ring after the receiving machine has received each page. To answer the call request:

The power of TriAccess

The F-150’s and F-120’s TriAccess feature sharply reduces the time you might oth-

erwise spend waiting for the machine to finish its work and let you get back to your

own work. TriAccess is a more powerful version of what already is a pretty powerful

feature, called dual access. While a fax with normal dual access performs one memory

operation, you can do a second operation: set up a memory or delayed transmission,

Lift your machine’s optional handset, and listen for a few seconds. You may

hear a brief series of fax tones.

print a report, make settings (including on the autodialer) or even make copies.

But the F-150’s and F-120’s TriAccess allows a minimum of three operations at once. For example, even if the machine is (1) printing a copy and (2) receiving into memory, it is

(3) still available for you to scan in documents for memory transmission.

Note: The F-100 does not have TriAccess; however, it does have dual access.

Using the power of programmable one-touch keys

Programmable one-touch

The programmable one-touch keys 1–P 12 simplify complex fax operations, letting

you really tap into your machine’s power.

Note: Toggle between the two sets of programmable keys,

1–P 6 and 7–P 12, by

keys

turning the fliptab back and forth; whichever set is visible is ready for use.

You can “teach” these keys the following multi-step operations for one-keypress con-

venience (the pages shown contain instructions for the specific operations):

•

Delayed transmission (pages 2.21–2.23)

Broadcasting (pages 2.18–2.20)

Relay broadcast initiation (pages 2.19–2.20)

SecureMail transmission (pages 2.46–2.49)

Polling, regular and database (not continuous) (pages 2.31–2.33)

Batch transmission (pages 2.24–2.27)

There is a great deal of similarity among how you set the various operations; but,

for your convenience, we’ll give you full instructions for each one. J ust FYI, however,

we’ll summarize by saying that, each time, you tell the machine four simple things:

•

How — The key you’re programming

Wh o — The number(s) the machine should dial

Wh a t — The operation it should perform

Wh en — The date(s) and time(s) when you want it to perform the operation.

Beyond the basics

Your machine has a number of features to enhance the security of your fax commu-

nications. These security features can help you let your private fax documents stay

private, avoid unwanted outside communication and even protect against unautho-

rized use of your machine — as well as control its authorized use.

Locking up tight: operation protection

Im p or ta n t: For this feature to work, you must have set the passcode, as described

in the left column.

Because this is a powerful machine you have here — and, besides, you’re paying for

its phone calls — you may not want just anybody to use it. That’s why we’ve pro-

vided operation protection. When this feature is activated, only those who enter the

proper passcode (see “The key to it all: the password,” left column) can send faxes

from — or even make settings on — the machine.

The key to it all: the passcode

Your machine has a protection passcode system which, as you’ll see, is central to the

machine’s security capabilities. Normally, this four-digit passcode is set to 0000

(four zeroes). This turns off passcode operation. But, if you set the passcode to any-

thing besides 0000, this passcode provides access to numerous other security

capabilities we’ll describe in succeeding pages.

Activating operation protection

Press /P ROGRAM, , 1, 7, ENTER. The LCD shows:

To set your machine’s passcode:

Set Opr. Protect

Decide upon, and then write down the four-digit passcode (0001–9999) you

want to use and put it in a safe place.

Use the numeric keypad to enter the passcode. Here, we’ve entered 6296:

Im p or ta n t: Do not use 0000. This turns off passcode protection.

Note: If you start an operation while the first is still underway (see “The power of

TriAccess,” page 2.35), the machine will require the passcode from you once

again before proceeding with your new request. However, the first operation

will proceed unaffected, even if you fail to enter the correct passcode for the

second entry.

Set Security Rx

If you want security reception to begin now (and at this same time every day),

skip to step 9.

Otherwise, proceed to step 8.

Use the numeric keypad to enter the time (24-hour format) when security

reception should begin every day. “Type over” the numerals displayed. Here,

we’ve entered 17:35 (5:35 PM):

Print it later, when it’s safe: security reception

Your fax machine has a security reception capability. This means that you can tell

the machine to keep all received faxes in memory (but not print them) after a cer-

tain time; then, later, you instruct it to go ahead and print out the saved faxes. This

is great if, for example, you have concerns about after-hours workers nosing around

in documents intended for your eyes only!

Creating, modifying or clearing a SecureMail mailbox

To receive SecureMail, you must have SecureMail mailboxes set up on your fax

machine. You may wish also to modify existing SecureMail mailboxes (but, to do so,

you must know each mailbox’s ID code; see step 4, below).

To retrieve the faxes received during this security reception (and to return your

machine to normal reception until the next time):

Press /P ROGRAM,

If creating — Use the numeric keypad to enter 0000 and press ENTER.

Perhaps you don’t want to protect all receptions, but just certain faxes and at any

time (without having to set it, as is necessary with security reception; see page 2.45).

Or, for that matter, you may wish to send secure documents to someone else and

not worry about whether an unauthorized person near that person’s fax might hap-

pen to see the documents.

If modifying — Use the numeric keypad to enter the proper ID code and

press ENTER. If you enter an invalid ID code, the fax machine will reject the

attempt and abort this operation.

The LCD now displays:

Printing SecureMail you receive

Sending SecureMail

When your fax machine receives a SecureMail document from another Muratec fax

machine, your machine will print a message alerting the person for whom the docu-

ment is intended. Then that person (or at least someone, such as a trusted

assistant, to whom that person has divulged his/her SecureMail mailbox’s ID code)

has a certain number of days (see “Setting SecureMail storage time,” page 2.47) in

which to print out the message before your machine automatically erases it.

In addition to receiving SecureMail on your machine, you also can send SecureMail

to other Muratec fax machines with SecureMail reception capabilities. (If necessary,

consult your authorized Muratec dealer for more details, or you may call the

Masking the PIN

To prevent unauthorized long-distance calls, some office telephone systems require

you to enter not only the phone number but also a personal identification number

(PIN) whenever you dial an outside number beginning with 1.

Use the numeric keypad to enter the four-digit passcode. In our example

here, we’ve entered 2099.

If that’s true for you, you’ll probably wish to keep that PIN confidential, so unautho-

rized persons can’t discover — and use — the PIN number. Fortunately, your fax’s

PIN mask feature makes such confidentiality possible. With the PIN mask activated,

you can dial a fax number plus a PIN, but the PIN will not appear in a journal, error

message printout, delayed command list or even TCR, where an unauthorized user

might see it. The PIN, entered from the numeric keypad (it can include the * or #

symbols, if necessary) may be up to eight characters in length.

Autodialing while using the PIN mask

Note: If you select either Mode 1 or Mode 2 and will be using batch transmission

Note: The following instructions presume you are familiar with how to set and use

your machine’s autodialer. If you need to review, see pages 2.8–2.16.

Dialing from the numeric keypad while using the PIN mask

Performing batch transmission while using the PIN mask

Note: If the PIN mask feature is off, you dial normally.

Note: The following instructions presume you are familiar with how to set and use

both your machine’s autodialer and its batch transmission feature. If you

need to review, see pages 2.8–2.16 for more on the autodialer and/or pages

2.24–2.27 for more on batch transmission.

If you’ve specified Mode 1 — use “star” power

Enter the phone number, then press the * (“star”) key and enter the PIN.

The PIN always goes last. For example, to dial 19725550911 with a PIN of

Setting security transmission

(0000–9999) you want to use and put it in a safe place.

Your fax’s security transmission feature provides extra assurance that your documents

go where you’re sending them. When this feature is activated and your machine sends a

fax, the machine compares the last four digits of the dialed number to the other unit’s

Subscriber ID (the phone number at the top of that unit’s transmissions; see page 1.10).

If these digits match, your call goes through. If they don’t, your machine disconnects the

call and prints an error message telling you to check the condition of the remote unit.

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4.

Otherwise, proceed to step 3.

Before you activate this feature, please consider:

•

Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their Subscriber IDs. —

Indeed, some machines don’t even have a Subscriber ID. So, with security trans-

mission activated, your machine would disconnect its calls to such machines.

Use the numeric keypad to enter the desired four-digit closed network passcode.

Set Passcode

•

Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialer entry ends with a long-distance

or other access code, activating this feature prevents calls to that fax. (After all,

the other fax’s users won’t put your codes at the end of their Subscriber IDs.)

Press ENTER to save the setting.

Note: In the following instructions, your fax’s LCD abbreviates Transmission as Tx.

Note: To turn off the closed network passcode and return to normal fax reception,

change the code to 0000 by repeating steps 1–4 and entering 0000 in step 3.

find such a match, your machine disconnects the call.

If you have not entered any numbers in the blocked numbers list, skip to step 7.

Otherwise, proceed to step 6.

If you wish to enter a new number in an already-started blocked numbers

list, press /P ROGRAM repeatedly until you find an empty position in the list

(as in the first display in step 5).

Mode 3 (“Mode3”) — This rejects both numbers not in the autodialer and numbers

that are in the blocked numbers list. This lets you keep a number on your autodi-

aler yet still block its incoming calls by putting it in the blocked numbers list.

So, before you activate the Block J unk Fax feature, please consider:

•

Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their Subscriber IDs. —

With this feature activated, your machine would reject faxes from such machines.

Note: To clear a number from the list, see “Clearing a number from the

Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialer entry ends with long-dis-

tance or other codes, Block J unk Fax will block out calls from those faxes (i. e.,

those other fax users won’t put your codes at the end of their Subscriber IDs).

Use the numeric keypad to enter the last eight characters of a fax number you

wish to block. For example, if you wish to block a fax from someone with a

Subscriber ID of 972-555-3038, you should enter 5, 5, 5, -, 3, 0, 3, 8:

Specific errors

Let’s quickly summarize the error codes you may see on an error report:

Errors

When sending faxes, your machine occasionally will run into communications errors.

These can be caused by anything from lightning to telephone line interference.

(These same factors cause the static, or line noise, you sometimes hear on phone

calls.) They also can be caused by problems with the fax machine at the other end of

the line.

Dialing errors

D.0.1, The remote unit didn’t respond, the call couldn’t be completed or STOP was

D.0.3, pressed during dialing. Re-try the call. If your machine repeats the message,

D.0.7, call the remote fax unit’s operator and verify that unit is operating properly.

D.0.8

Often, simply trying your call again is all that’s necessary. However, if the problem

persists regularly, call your local telephone company for help. If that call doesn’t help

and the problem persists regularly, call your authorized Muratec dealer or call the

Muratec Customer Support Center at (972) 364-3350.

Reception errors

R.1.1 The calling fax machine didn’t respond to your fax machine. This can hap-

pen if someone dials a wrong number or if the remote machine restricts

access through use of a passcode.

Error reports

When an error occurs, your fax machine prints an error report. Each fax error

report lists an error message which includes:

R.1.2 The two fax machines were incompatible. Your fax machine sends and

receives only ITU-T Group 3 (see Glossary, pages 3.17–3.20) fax communica-

tion, the industry standard since the early 1980s.

R.1.4 Someone pressed STOP at the receiving fax machine.

R.1.5 The fax machine didn’t detect the silence at the end of the call for receiving

an RCR.

R.2.1 A compatibility error (junk fax detection) occurred.

Kinds of error codes

The error code listed in the “Result” column of the error report indicates the specific

problem encountered:

R.2.3 Poor phone line conditions made fax communication impossible. Call some-

one at the remote machine.

R.3.1 The sending fax machine detected too many errors from the receiving

fax machine.

•

“

D” codes — Occur while dialing

R” codes — Occur during reception

T” codes — Occur during transmission

R.3.3 The sending fax machine is incompatible or had a document feeder problem

during transmission.

R.3.4 Poor phone line conditions may have prevented your fax machine from prop-

erly printing some or all of the pages it received.

R.3.5 Poor line conditions prevented reception.

R.4.2 Either the line disconnected before transmission or the transmitting fax

machine needs maintenance.

R.4.4 The fax machine has reached its memory capacity.

R.5.1, ECM reception failed (perhaps due to line noise).

Transmission errors

“Check Message” printouts

When a fax call goes awry and your machine detects an error, it produces an error

printout headed by the words “Check Message.” This printout lists the following

information about the transmission:

T.1.1 The remote fax machine didn’t respond to your machine. Call someone at the

remote machine.

T.1.4 Someone pressed STOP at the remote unit in the middle of the handshake

(the very first part of the fax communication, when the two units “agree” on

the settings they’ll share).

T.2.2 The two fax machines were incompatible. Your fax machine sends and

receives only ITU-T Group 3 (see “Glossary,” page 3.17) fax communication,

the industry standard since the early 1980s.

What error messages can mean

The error messages on Check Message printouts can mean a variety of things.

Caring for your fax machine

With proper installation and a little maintenance, your fax machine should give you

dependable service for years to come.

Keep the air vents clean

As you’ll recall from page 1.6, you shouldn’t cover your machine or it may overheat.

However, dust can build up and become a sort of “cover.” You already know not to

locate your machine in a dusty area, but, any object out in the open obviously will

gather dust as time passes.

Although it requires little day-to-day care, you can take these simple precautions to

keep it in top form:

•

Alw a ys make sure your fax machine is installed according to our specifications,

including using an electrical surge suppressor. (If necessary, review “Pick an

installation spot before going ahead,” page 1.6.)

So, be sure to clea n you r m a ch in e’s a ir ven ts p er iod ica lly. When you do, use a

vacuum cleaner or brush. (Do n ot wipe the air vents with a damp cloth!)

•

Alw a ys use good, copier-quality paper.

The air vents are located on the left side of the machine (as viewed from in front;

the drawing below is a view from the machine’s left rear):

Alw a ys clean your fax machine as needed (see “Cleaning tips,” below).

Never install your fax machine where it can overheat, gather dust or get

splashed by any liquids (even water).

Cleaning tips

Here are some things to keep in mind about cleaning your fax machine:

•

Do clean it! Dust and dirt, especially around the fax machine’s air vents (see

right column) can shorten your machine’s life.

•

Alw a ys unplug the fax machine before you clean it.

Never spr a y a n y clea n er DIRECTLY on to you r fa x m a ch in e. The drifting

spray could damage components inside.

•

Never tr y to clea n SEALED a r ea s in sid e you r fa x m a ch in e. They’re sealed for

a purpose: to protect your safety and the machine!

This tip applies only to cleaning external surfaces, such as the cover and handset

— use a mild cleaning solution sprayed onto a lint-free towel or cloth.

Alw a ys use a lint-free cloth (or swabs) moistened with alcohol to wipe — gently

— components inside your machine. (See also the next step.)

In areas you can’t reach with swabs, a lw a ys use dry, dust-free compressed air to

gently blow away dust and other material.

If you have unsatisfactory printout quality

Corrective cleaning

Your machine automatically cleans its charger and transport roller, two items

which are very important to printout quality. So, if you notice poor printout quality

(whether on received faxes or on copies), it may mean that your machine requires

service. Review “Print quality problems” (pages 3.4–3.5), and see whether any of the

proposed solutions helps your machine. If none does, please call your authorized

Muratec dealer or call the Muratec Customer Support Center at (972) 364-3350.

Here are some simple cleaning procedures for keeping your fax machine operating

smoothly. Use each as the need arises.

Curing frequent jams in the document feeder

If you’re having trouble with getting your original documents to feed properly, try

this procedure:

Turn off your fax machine.

Get two soft, lint-free cloths and moisten them as follows:

•

One with a cleaner suitable for use on platen/rubber rollers

The other with isopropyl alcohol

Open the scanner cover by holding the

scanner cover release.

Im p or ta n t: You must hold the cover

open. It won’t stay open

by itself.

Use the cloth with the

rollers cleaner to clean

the face of the rollers.

Rotate the rollers

by hand to allow

cleaning of the

entire roller surface.

Use the cloth with the

isopropyl alcohol to clean

the contact glass.

Gently close the scanner cover, making sure both sides are snapped

down securely.

Common questions

Q: Can I use a dust cover on my fax machine?

A: No! A dust cover blocks air circulation, which could cause your machine to

We’re on-line to help you!

Before you try calling for help, first please give the Muratec Information

overheat. (See page 1.6 for other guidelines.)

System a try.

The Muratec Information System is available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days

a week. You can use your fax machine to call this “fax-on-demand” system

and receive printouts of information, such as the most common questions

asked about your machine. Often, this is the fastest way to find out the

answer to any question you may have. And it’s a free call!

Sending faxes

Q: Sometimes, I try to send a fax while using either the (optional) handset or the

MONITOR/CALL feature. But, when the other side answers, I hear a horrible

screeching sound, so I hang up. What’s happening?

To use the Muratec Information System:

A: That was the other fax machine trying to say “Hello” to your machine! You’ll

hear sounds like that any time you call a fax machine which is set to answer

automatically (as when you set your machine to Fax Ready mode). It’s by using

these tones that fax machines send faxes over ordinary phone lines. So, next

time you hear such tones, press START (and, if you’re using an optional handset,

hang up) to send a fax.

On your fax machine, obtain a dial tone by pressing MONITOR/CALL. (If

you’re in a noisy area and have an optional handset attached to your

machine, you may wish simply to lift the handset instead.)

Call 1-800-215-1698.

Follow the voice instructions you’ll receive from the system.

Q: I just sent a fax. However, the number that appeared in my machine’s display

during the transmission wasn’t the number I dialed. Why?

A: That number you saw is programmed into the remote fax machine by the user.

Some users (perhaps for privacy’s sake?) prefer different numbers to appear

than the ones they’re really using; and, frankly, some people take over other’s

already-programmed fax machines and don’t know how to change the originally

set number!

General questions

Q: Where do I add ink or toner to make my fax machine’s printouts darker?

A: You can’t adjust the darkness of an incoming fax printout, but you can adjust

the darkness of a copy (or copies) or of a transmission. Insert a document and

press CONTRAST repeatedly to adjust the contrast setting. “Dark” prints at the

darkest setting. The machine will reset automatically to normal contrast after

the copying or sending.

Q: Can I transmit and receive at the same time?

A: No. Use the call request feature (see pages 2.34–2.35) to ask the person at the

remote fax machine if he or she wants to transmit or receive after your fax

communication is complete.

Note: You can’t adjust the darkness of an incoming fax printout.

Q: When I unplug my machine or if the power goes off, will I lose the information

I’ve stored — such as my TTI, autodialer entries, the time and date, etc. — and

have to re-enter them?

Q: Do I have to dial a 1 for a long-distance call?

A: Yes. Dialing a fax number is just like dialing any other phone number, so be

sure to include any special long-distance codes or dialing pauses when dialing.

Also, remember to include them when you set your autodialer numbers.

A: No. There’s a special battery built into your fax machine which protects user

settings for several days if power fails or if you decide to move your machine.

However, while the battery will last for years, we do advise you to restore

power to the machine as soon as possible.

Q: How do I send a fax to an overseas telephone number?

Q: I inserted a document in the feeder and dialed a fax number, but my machine

didn’t transmit the document; instead, “** Auto Redial **” now appears on

my LCD. What does this mean?

A: Dialing requirements for international calls may vary depending on your local

telephone company’s requirements. For most international calls, call 011, then

the appropriate country code, city code and phone number. (You may find coun-

try and city codes in the front section of your telephone directory.)

A: The remote fax machine was busy, so your machine will try the call again,

automatically. As long as it hasn’t stored more than 99 delayed commands

(counting automatic redials), your machine should still accept commands from

you. If it has exceeded this quantity and will accept no more commands, try can-

celling one of the delayed commands (see pages 2.21–2.23). If the machine still

won’t cooperate, keep cancelling commands until it does.

Q: Can I transmit if my fax machine runs out of paper?

A: Yes; however, confirmation reports (see page 2.30) aren’t available when you

transmit without recording paper in your fax machine.

Q: The specifications (page AI.1) list an average per-page transmission time, but

Q: Can I transmit a document that’s extra long?

when I transmit a page it can take much longer. Why?

A: Yes, if the receiving fax machine is equipped to handle long documents. Many

machines have a special setting which allows them to receive documents that

exceed the normal length.

A: We base this specification on transmission of an industry-standard test docu-

ment called ITU-T Test Document 1 (sometimes also called the “Slerexe letter”).

Fax manufacturers use this method to test transmission speeds. However:

Q: Can I transmit a page from a newspaper?

•

The pages you send may be darker, or otherwise contain more information,

than ITU-T Test Document 1.

A: No. A newspaper page can jam in your document feeder. First, use a copying

machine to make an appropriately sized copy of the material in the newspaper

page, then transmit the copy.

•

The transmission time measured for test documents doesn’t include hand-

shake time — the time during which two fax machines “introduce”

themselves to each other and “agree on” the parameters of the call.

Q: Can I transmit a page with correction fluid on it?

•

The specification time is based on the use of normal resolution mode. You

may be using fine, superfine or grayscale transmission, each of which takes

longer than normal mode.

A: Yes, if the fluid is completely dry before you begin transmission.

Q: How can I be sure my fax was received?

A: Set your machine to print a confirmation report after each transmission (see

page 2.30).

Reports

Q: I don’t want to install a dedicated phone line for my fax machine, so I’ve con-

nected the machine to a PBX phone system. When I get a fax call, all the phones

ring! How do I prevent this?

Q: I called the number 011-555-555-1212, but not all of the digits appear on my

transmit confirmation report (TCR). Why didn’t the whole number appear? How

can I be sure my document went to the right location?

A: Call your PBX manufacturer or telephone company for assistance. Either may

A: The numbers you enter using the fax keypad are temporarily stored in a mem-

ory “buffer”; and it’s only the last part of the phone number that the buffer

“remembers.” An easy way to avoid getting incomplete telephone numbers on

your printouts is to store your most frequently used numbers as one-touch keys

or speed-dial numbers. These autodialer numbers will appear in their entirety

on your TCR.

be able to convert one of the PBX lines for use only by your fax machine.

Q: Sometimes when I dial a fax call by using either the (optional) handset or

MONITOR/CALL, I don’t hear the fax receiving tones from the other machine.

Am I doing something wrong?

A: When this happens, try pressing START (and then hanging up the optional

handset if you’re using it), as usual. It’s possible you’re calling an older, non-

standard fax machine that doesn’t emit answering tones. Even a few Group 3

faxes (see “Glossary,” page 3.17) on the market sound a sending tone but don’t

sound a receiving tone. After you transmit, call the person at the other fax

machine to see if he/she got your document.

Receiving faxes

Q: My fax never answers. What’s wrong?

Polling

Q: What’s the purpose of polling?

A: Check to make sure your fax machine is properly connected to a working AC

power outlet and phone jack (see pages 1.6–1.8). If you’re using a second phone

with your machine, make sure it’s connected properly (page 1.9).

A: Polling lets you automatically “pull” a document from another fax machine’s

document feeder. You can poll whenever you need to retrieve information and

don’t want the source to pay for the phone call. With polling, you pay for the

call and get the information you need.

Q: Sometimes when I answer my machine with the optional handset, I hear a

beeping sound that repeats every few seconds. Is this a fax?

A: Yes. When you hear such fax tones, someone is trying to send you a fax. Next

How your fax machine works

The concept of how a fax machine works is simple. Here’s a simple analogy. Let’s

say you want to mail a gift to a friend:

time, press START and hang up the handset. Your fax will receive the message.

Q: Does my fax machine has to be plugged in (i. e., into the AC power) just to

receive a message?

•

You take the item, wrap it and send it.

A: Yes. Your phone will ring if the phone line is connected, but you can’t receive a

fax unless your fax machine is plugged into both the phone jack and the AC

power jack. Make sure your fax machine is always plugged in so you never

miss an important fax message.

Days later, your friend receives the package, unwraps it and uses it.

Now, let’s apply that to fax communication.

You put a page into your fax machine’s feeder and call a fax number. Your machine

makes a satisfactory connection with the other machine, and then …

Q: Can I receive a fax if I’m using the phone on my machine?

A: You can receive a fax from the person to whom you’re talking. When that per-

son has a document ready in his/her machine’s feeder, press START. However,

like any regular one-line phone, your fax machine can handle only one call at a

time. The OneLine + feature (see pages 2.33–2.34) lets you receive calls on up

to two phone numbers if your telephone company has installed the appropriate

DRD service, but you can use only one number at a time.

•

An image scanner in your fax machine examines the information on the page.

That’s how your machine takes the document.

•

Your fax machine translates the scanned information into a numeric code and

compresses the code for the fastest possible transmission speed.

That’s how your machine wraps the document.

•

Finally, your fax machine sends the compressed code.

That’s how your machine sends the document.

On the other end of the line …

•

The remote fax machine receives the code.

The remote fax machine uncompresses and deciphers the code, turning it into a

representation of the scan your machine made.

That’s how your machine unwraps the document.

•

The remote fax machine prints the representation.

Now, the recipient can use the document.

… and that’s how fax works!

The only difference between a regular telephone call and a fax call is the content of

the transmission:

•

On a regular call, your telephone sends your voice.

On a fax call, your fax machine sends a coded image.

The way fax machines work is regulated closely by international standards applied

by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), an agency of the United

Nations. These standards ensure the compatibility of your fax machine with mil-

lions of other fax machines worldwide. However, they also limit the way you can use

your machine with a second telephone.

Nonetheless, this is a small price to pay — for the ability to send documents just

about anywhere on earth!

Glossary

This glossary contains terms and words you may encounter when discussing or

reading about fax machines and fax communications. Please use these definitions

for reference only. Of course, all information is subject to change without notice.

Ca ll-w a itin g ser vice — An optional telephone company service that identifies

when another party is calling while one is already on the phone. Call-waiting sig-

nals often cause interruption of fax transmission or reception.

CCITT — See ITU-T

A4, B4, A3 — Standard stationery sizes defined by the International Standards

Organization, an agency of the United Nations. See also Paper sizes.

CCD, CIS — Charged coupled device, contact image sensor. Two types of scanning

mechanisms used in some Muratec fax machines. The CCD “reads” fluorescent light

bouncing off a document. The CIS uses a flat bar of light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

Au tod ia lin g — Enables user to store preprogrammed telephone numbers in the

unit’s memory. Storage capability varies from unit to unit.

Com p a tibility — The term “compatible” describes the ability of separate things to

function together. Your Muratec fax machine features ITU-T Group 3 compatibility,

the modern standard for worldwide communication.

Au tom a tic fa llba ck — The ability of a fax machine, when communicating with

another fax which is communicating at a slower rate, to slow down (“fall back”) to

the other unit’s speed.

Con fid en tia l tr a n sm ission — See SecureMail.

Con fir m a tion r ep or t — See RCR and TCR.

Au tom a tic r ed u ction — Many Muratec fax machines will automatically reduce

documents being transmitted to accommodate the effective printing width of the

receiving unit. This allows, for example, a fax machine with a 10″ scanning width to

send an image 10″ wide to a unit with an 8.5″ print width; the receiving fax

machine will receive a reduced-size printout of the complete image.

Con tin u ou s p ollin g — See Polling.

Cop y m od e — Lets one use a fax machine as a convenience copier.

Cover p a ge (a u tom a tic) — A small, user-created message; can be the first page of

every transmission.

Bit — The smallest unit of information in a computer. Contraction of “binary digit.”

Some Muratec fax machines, which are themselves computers “dedicated” to

telecommunications, allow users to change bits of information to provide or cancel

features through software settings.

Da ta ba se p ollin g — See Polling.

Da ta com p r ession — Used in digital fax machines to speed transmission. See also

Digital fax, MH and MSE, SMSE.

Bits p er secon d — See bps.

Dela yed com m a n d — Transmission or polling operation set by the user to occur

later, automatically, at a predetermined time. Great for reducing costs by making

fax calls during times, such as late at night or on weekends, when telephone costs

are lowest.

Bla ck d en sity — Also called black coverage. The amount of non-white area on a

page. For example, most regular office correspondence has a black density well

under 10%, due to the presence of margins, spaces between words, spaces between

lines and paragraphs and even spaces within letters (such as e and o). However,

drawings and photographs have a much higher black density, sometimes approach-

ing 100%. The higher a page’s black density, the more slowly a fax machine can

send it.

Digita l — Using the binary system — i. e., either 0 or 1 — to describe everything,

so that 0 means off and 1 means on; digital fax machines convert the graphic image

of your document into a series of zeros and ones by using the binary system of

transmission to encode black and white occurrences. This increases transmission

speed by passing over white spaces. See also White-line skip.

bp s — Bits per second. Used to express the speed of transmission of data. Because

fax transmission treats a document as a graphic image rather than as a series of

alphabetic and numeric characters, bps does not correspond to the number of char-

acters transmitted per second.

Digita l fa x — Unlike analog systems that scan every portion of a document, digital

fax machines survey a document’s overall picture content. Digital fax machines

scan a line and convert the information into a binary code of zeros and ones. The fax

machine takes this information and compresses it, providing high transmission

speeds. Many Muratec units offer proprietary methods for faster transmissions

between Muratec-manufactured units (see also MSE, SMSE).

Byte — A group of digital elements, usually sent as eight bits to the byte.

Ca ll r eser ve — Also called call request. An ITU-T standard fax feature which allows

a user to request voice communication prior to, during or after transmission.

DIP sw itch es — Dual in-line package switch; a two-position on/off switch. Many

Muratec fax machines include DIP switches to control optional settings or features.

Effective p r in tin g w id th — The widest image that can be printed on a fax.

J BIG — J oint Bi-level Image experts Group, the new ITU-T standard image data com-

pression method. As J BIG compresses the data more efficiently than MMR, it is

especially effective when transmitting halftone (grayscale) image document.

(Of course, the compression ratio may vary with the image data.)

Effective sca n w id th — The maximum width the scanner in a fax can scan

during transmission.

F a csim ile (or fa x) — A form of communication involving the scanning and decoding

of a document into electrical signals and transmitting of the document, over tele-

phone lines to another device which then reconstructs the signals to produce an exact

duplicate of the document. Also, a machine that performs such communication.

La ser p r in tin g — A plain-paper printing system. Toner is attached to a charged

drum and an image is transferred onto plain paper through electrical currents, then

fused with heat and pressure to produce a dry, permanent printout.

LCD — Liquid crystal display. Used on some Muratec units for status displays.

F a llba ck — Group 3 fax machines operate at the highest transmission speed possi-

ble on a given telephone line. Muratec systems offer automatic fallback; if line

quality drops during transmission, the fax machine will reduce speed to the fastest

possible level.

Lea sed lin e — See Private line.

Loa d n u m ber — A number assigned to telecommunications equipment used in

Canada; designed to help prevent overloading on a telephone circuit. See also

Ringer equivalence number.

F in e r esolu tion — 203H × 196V lpi. Also shown as

(“Group 3 fine”) on some

fax units.

Loca tion ID — See Station ID.

Gr a ysca le — Not a level of resolution, but a method of scanning and transmitting

halftone images. Fax machines with grayscale abilities interpret photographs in

levels of gray between white and black. The transmitting fax machine must have

grayscale ability to send a photographic image accurately, but the receiving

machine does not need it to print the image.

lp i — Lines per inch. The way fax image resolution is measured. (For example, see

Normal resolution.)

MH — Modified Huffman, the standard ITU-T Group 3 data compression method. A

one-dimensional coding scheme that compresses data in a horizontal direction only.

A feature of all Muratec fax machines, MH assures transmissions faster than one

page per minute when communicating with other Group 3 units, regardless of man-

ufacturer. See also MSE, SMSE.

Gr ou p 3 — Refers to fax machines that use digital encoding. These units transmit

one page in less than one minute and produce resolution of 203 × 98, 203 × 196, or

203 × 392 lpi.

Mod em — Modulator-demodulator. A device that converts digital data, like infor-

mation from a fax machine, into an analog signal for transmission over ordinary

(analog) telephone lines. A modem is included in a fax machine and allows it to be

connected directly to a PSTN telephone line.

Ha lfton e — See Grayscale.

Ha n d sh a k in g — A data interchange between telecommunications and/or

computer equipment that “introduces” two systems to each other. For example,

faxes use a handshaking protocol to identify the ITU-T group of each unit and to

begin fax communication.

Mon itor — A speaker in most Muratec fax machines which can allow one to hear

the dialing process. This is not a speakerphone, because it has no microphone for

speaking to the person being called; for regular two-way voice communication, one

must use the handset. See also On-hook dialing.

Hu b — See Relay broadcasting.

Hz (or Her tz) — A measure of frequency equal to one cycle per second. Used in the

specifications for a fax machine, it identifies the AC power the unit requires.

MSE, SMSE — Muratec’s proprietary data compression methods, allowing a Muratec-

manufactured fax machine to transmit more quickly when communicating with

another Muratec-manufactured unit. MSE and SMSE are features on many Muratec

fax machines. See also MH.

ITU-T — International Telecommunications Union – Telecommunications Sector.

(Formerly known as CCITT, for Consultative Committee for International Telegraph

and Telephone.) A telecommunications forum for member countries of the United

Nations; its Study Group XIV established the primary groups for fax equipment, cov-

ering communication protocol and transmission. Muratec Group 3 fax machines

offer the fastest transmissions allowed by the ITU-T when communicating with other

Group 3 units.

Nor m a l r esolu tion — Shown as “norm”; 203H × 98V lpi. The default resolution

mode for all Muratec fax machines.

On e-tou ch d ia lin g — Allows the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for

dialing with the touch of one key. See also Autodialing and Speed-dialing.

ITU-T Test Docu m en t 1 — Also called the Slerexe (“slehr-rehks”) letter; sometimes

erroneously called ITU-T Test Chart 1. An ITU-T standard document with a known

black density which fax makers often use in testing, and subsequently publicizing,

the transmission speeds of their fax machines.

On -h ook d ia lin g — Dialing numbers by using the keypad on the fax unit without

lifting a handset. On most Muratec fax models, one can do this either silently or by

using the monitor. See also Monitor.

Or igin a l d ocu m en t size — The largest (or smallest) document that can be fed

safely through a fax machine.

ITU-T V.29 a n d V.27 ter . — A standard set of communication procedures allowing

fax machines to talk to all other units adhering to those standards.

Rela y br oa d ca stin g — Lets some Muratec fax machines store a document in

P a p er sizes — All are width × length:

internal memory, transmit the document to the memory of a remote “hub” fax and

then instruct that unit to relay (i. e., re-transmit) the document to each fax in a call

group in the “hub” unit. This feature speeds extremely high-volume fax communica-

tion and allows a single command to initiate document transmission to hundreds of

preprogrammed fax locations; also saves phone charges for the originating machine.

Your machine can either serve as a “hub” unit or initiate a relay broadcast.

Letter-sized = 8.5″ ×11.0″

Legal-sized = 8.5″ ×14.0″

A5 = 5.8″ × 8.3″

B5 = 7.2″ ×10.1″

A4 = 8.3″ ×11.7″

B4 = 10.1″ ×17.0″

A3 = 11.7″ ×16.5″

B3 = 14.3″ ×20.3″

P a sscod e — A four-digit code-number. On your fax machine, the protection pass-

code lets the user limit access to fax operations in general, as well as certain

settings and even documents readied for polling (in the latter case, only calling

machines whose users enter the proper passcode will be able to poll the document.)

Rem ote fa x m a ch in e — The machine on the other “end” of a fax communication.

REN — See Ringer equivalence number.

P BX (or P ABX) — Private branch exchange; privately-owned telephone equipment

serving a particular building, business or area. Many PBX systems use digital trans-

mission lines which, unlike more common PSTN lines, are not compatible with fax

machine use. The user should not connect a fax unit to a PBX without first checking

with the system manufacturer or service representative.

Resolu tion — The resolution of documents transmitted or copied by fax machines

is measured by the number of horizontal (H) and vertical (V) lines per inch (lpi) the

unit can print. A Muratec unit may offer one or more of these resolution levels:

Normal

Fine

Superfine

203H × 98V lpi

203H × 196V lpi

203H × 392V lpi

P ollin g — Automatic transmission to a calling remote fax, or reception of a docu-

ment from a remote fax set for this operation. Polling is convenient whenever a

central unit must receive information from one or several remote faxes. The caller

bears all telephone charges and prevents several remote units from calling at the

same time. In database polling, a remote fax polls a document directly from the

memory of a Muratec fax. (Regular polling requires the document to be physically in

the polled fax’s feeder.) See also Secure polling.

Some Muratec units also offer grayscale transmission (see also Grayscale) for accu-

rate reproduction of photographs and other shaded originals.

Rin ger equ iva len ce n u m ber — Also called REN. A number assigned to telecom-

munications equipment used in the United States; designed to prevent overloading

on a telephone circuit. See also Load number.

P r iva te lin e — (Or leased line.) A service offered by many telephone systems; pro-

vides an exclusive phone circuit between two geographic points. A Muratec fax does

not require a private line. See also PSTN.

Sca n n in g w id th — See Effective scanning width.

Secu r eMa il — Allows a Muratec fax user to send a document (usually something

confidential) to, or receive one into, an “electronic mail box.” The transmission is

protected at the receiving Muratec fax by an access code; the receiving fax prints

the document only when an authorized user enters the code.

P r op r ieta r y — Non-standard. In fax, refers to a fax feature which works only in

communications between same-branded fax machines.

P STN — Public switched telephone network; the most common type of telephone

lines and service in use, in contrast to private or leased lines. A Muratec fax pro-

vides fast, reliable data transmission over a PSTN line, and does not need a special or

dedicated telephone line. See also Private line.

Secu r e p ollin g — Polling in which preset passcodes are checked between two

machines before polling is allowed to take place.

Sp eed -d ia lin g — Allows the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dial-

ing with the touch of three keys — an identifier key (either * or #) and then a

two-digit code — for each number. See also Autodialing and One-touch dialing.

RCR — Receive confirmation report. An RCR is your assurance that the document

you transmitted was received. The RCR prints after your transmission, identifying

the receiving unit and recording the date, time, transmission mode, number of

pages sent and the result. The RCR is an exclusive feature of Muratec fax machines

and is available only when transmitting to other, compatible Muratec fax machines.
