FCC Telephone Consumer Protection Act  
The Federal Communications Commission Telephone Consumer  
Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a  
computer or other electronic device to send any message via a  
telephone fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a  
margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first  
page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an  
identification of the business or other entity, or other individual  
sending the message, and the telephone number of the sending  
machine or such business, other entity, or individual.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an  
authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the  
supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this  
equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the  
telecommunications company cause to request the user to  
disconnect the equipment.  
To comply with this law, you must enter the following  
information in your fax unit:  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the  
electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone  
lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are  
connected together. This precaution may be particularly  
important in rural areas.  
Date and time: see page 19 for instructions on doing this.  
Name and telephone number which identify the source of  
your fax transmission: see page 21 for instructions on doing  
this.  
Users should not attempt to make such connections them-  
selves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection  
authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Safety  
Installation Hints  
The TEL port on the back of the unit is only suitable for  
2-wire devices. Not all standard telephones will respond  
to incoming ringing when connected to an extension  
socket.  
Install your OKIFAX 5050 in a dust-free location away from  
direct sunlight.  
Do not plug your OKIFAX into a power source shared by  
equipment which produces electrical noise (i.e., air  
conditioners, etc.).  
This equipment may not necessarily provide for the  
effective hand-over of a call from a telephone connected  
to the same line.  
Leave electronic adjustments to authorized service  
personnel.  
Operation and Maintenance  
The LINE terminal connects your fax machine to a  
standard telephone line. To avoid damage to your  
telephone system or to the OKIFAX, do not plug your fax  
machine into anything other than a standard RJ-11C jack.  
Use a dry cloth to clean the control panel and the main  
body of the unit.  
Aside from replacing the toner and image drum cartridge, do not  
disassemble or attempt to service this unit yourself. Refer to a  
qualified technician for service.  
Your OKIFAX is intended to be grounded electrically and  
is equipped with a three-wire grounded power cord. For  
your safety, do not attempt to defeat your power cord’s  
grounding plug.  
Pull out the AC plug before trying to remove any objects that may  
have fallen into the machine.  
The power outlet should be located near the  
equipment and should be easily accessible.  
If the unit becomes physically damaged, disconnect the  
power cord immediately and arrange for its repair or  
disposal.  
OF5050M.PM6  
7
4/15/98, 9:23 AM  
When relocating your OKIFAX, always disconnect the  
telephone line before disconnecting the power cord, then  
reconnect the power cord first.  
Emergency First Aid  
IF TONER IS SWALLOWED: Dilute by giving two glasses of water  
and induce vomiting by administering Syrup of Ipecac  
(follow manufacturer’s instructions). Seek medical  
attention. Never attempt to induce vomiting or give  
anything by mouth to a person who is unconscious.  
This unit is not intended to be used in parallel with any  
other telephone devices.  
IF TONER IS INHALED: Take person to an open area for fresh air.  
Seek medical attention.  
Toner Cartridge and  
Image Drum Unit Handling  
IF TONER GETS IN THE EYES: Flush eyes with large quantities of cool  
water for 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open with fingers.  
Seek medical attention.  
Leave unused toner cartridges and image drum units in  
their packages until needed. When replacing a toner  
cartridge or image unit, re-use the packaging to dispose  
of the old toner cartridge or image drum unit.  
See the Material Safety Data Sheet in the back of this Hand-  
book for more information.  
Do not expose these components to light for more than  
five minutes. Never expose the green drum (inside the  
image drum unit) to direct sunlight.  
Always hold the image drum unit by the ends—never by  
the middle. Never touch the surface of the green drum  
inside the image drum unit.  
Exercise care when removing the toner cartridge. Do not  
let it touch your clothing or porous materials. The toner  
powder causes permanent stains.  
Small amounts of toner spilled on skin or clothing can be  
readily removed with soap and cold water. Using heated  
water will make removing the stain much more difficult.

quest. When the person at the remote machine either ini-  
tiates or answers your voice request, your OKIFAX emits  
a repetitive warbling sound.  
10/Message Print From Memory key: Your OKIFAX is set to re-  
ceive messages into memory and not print them when it  
runs low on toner. Using this key you can force messages  
to print, although print quality may be poor because toner  
is low. This key is also used to print confidential fax mes-  
sages received into mail boxes in your OKIFAX’s  
memory (page 45).  
End of Session tone: At the end of every successful fax session,  
your OKIFAX emits a short beep to inform you that  
there were no errors or problems in the communication.  
Off-Hook Alarm tone: If it is equipped with the optional hand-  
set, and if the handset is left off the hook, your OKIFAX  
emits an intermittent warbling sound. To turn off the  
sound, hang up the handset and press the Stop key.  
When no messages are in memory, use this key to print a  
cleaning page to clear accumulated toner from the image  
drum. See page 63.

Loading Paper  
Your OKIFAX 5050 can hold up to 250 sheets of  
standard-weight (20 lb.) paper. For best results, use paper  
specially made for laser printers or photocopiers. It can use  
letter, legal, and A4 size paper.  
Your OKIFAX automatically reduces the vertical length of  
the page images it receives to fit on the paper loaded in it,  
down to 75% of the original length. For example, if you  
are receiving a document created originally on legal-size  
paper, your OKIFAX can reduce the received pages to fit  
on letter or A4 paper.

If necessary, lift and adjust for the length of your paper.  
Note: Your OKIFAX is set at the factory to use letter size  
paper. To use a different paper size, change the 1’ST PA-

Setting the Answering Mode  
Telephone/Fax Auto Switch mode [T/F]: When incoming calls are a  
mixture of fax and telephone calls, your best choice is the  
Telephone/Fax mode. In this mode, your OKIFAX de-  
tects whether the incoming call is a fax or voice call. When  
the call is from another fax machine, your machine  
switches to fax mode and automatically receives the mes-  
sage. When the call is a voice call, your OKIFAX rings like  
a telephone. If you do not answer within 35 seconds, your  
OKIFAX switches back to fax mode to allow the calling  
party to send a fax manually.  
The answering mode determines how your OKIFAX  
handles incoming fax and voice calls. The standby display  
shows the current answering mode.  
Answering Mode Options  
The answering mode you choose depends on how you  
use your OKIFAX and what telephone equipment is con-  
nected to it. Read through the mode descriptions below,  
then follow the instructions to change to the mode that  
best fits your needs.  
Telephone Answering Device mode [TAD]: Use this mode if you  
have connected an answering machine to your OKIFAX.  
Like Telephone/Fax mode, the Telephone Answering  
Device mode detects whether an incoming call is a fax or  
voice call. If it is a fax call, your OKIFAX receives the fax.  
If it is a voice call, your OKIFAX rings just as it does in  
Manual Receive mode. If no one answers the call, your an-  
swering machine activates, allowing the calling party to  
leave a message. If you set the Remote Receive user func-  
tion (page 52), the caller can send a fax at any time during  
or after the recorded message by using their keypad to en-  
ter the remote receive number you have programmed.  
This number activates fax reception. Add something like  
this to your answering machine message: “To send a fax  
now, press XX [the programmed number].”  
Manual Receive mode [TEL]: If you use the same line for both  
fax and telephone calls and the majority of your incoming  
calls are telephone calls, then the TEL answering mode is  
your best choice. Each time someone calls, your OKIFAX  
rings like a telephone—it does not automatically answer.  
You can answer from either an external handset or tele-  
phone connected to your OKIFAX. If you pick up the  
handset and hear fax tones, press the Start key to receive  
the fax. If you do not answer the phone and someone  
tries to send you a fax message, your machine will not ac-  
cept it.  
Auto Receive mode [FAX]: If your OKIFAX is connected to a  
telephone line reserved only for fax communications, use  
the Auto Receive mode. Your OKIFAX assumes all in-  
coming calls are fax messages and automatically receives  
them.  
Memory Receive mode [MEM]: When set to this mode, your  
OKIFAX stores received faxes in memory and does not  
print them out immediately. See page 37for details

use to reach you. If you use the voice request function (see  
page 38) while communicating with another fax machine  
and no one is there to answer, your OKIFAX automati-  
cally sends a cover letter with a call back message. The mes-  
sage is printed on a separate sheet with the message  
“Please call back” and a telephone number where you can

This chapter explains how to load documents for faxing,  
how to send and receive faxes, how to use the closed  
network and voice request features, and how your  
OKIFAX handles power interruptions.  
If your documents are heavily bent, creased or torn, make  
a copy on a photocopier and send the copy instead.  
Document Size  
Preparing Documents for Faxing  
All documents must have a minimum width of 5.8" (148  
mm) and a minimum length of 5" (128 mm). Docu-  
ments cannot be wider than 8.5" (216 mm) or longer than  
14" (356 mm).  
Use the information in this section to make sure your  
documents scan and fax easily and clearly.  
Guidelines  
Note: Your OKIFAX can be set to accept documents of  
unlimited length—see your Authorized OKIFAX Dealer..  
Try to use good quality documents for your fax transmis-  
sions. Documents that are typed or written with a black  
felt-tip pen on white (or light) paper work best.  
Multiple Page Documents  
Do not send documents which are not rectangular.  
Your OKIFAX can scan paper with a basis weight be-

Loading Documents  
To prevent paper jams and problems during operation,  
stack your documents neatly, aligning their edges, before  
loading. Do not load documents of different sizes at the  
same time.  
Tip: You can load and prepare to transmit a document  
while your OKIFAX is still sending or receiving another

Real-Time Dialing  
Normally, your OKIFAX dials the entire number of the  
location you have selected at one time. Occasionally, you  
may need to dial numbers in real time—one digit at a  
time.  
Stopping a Transmission  
To stop a transmission in progress, follow the instructions  
below.

document the rest of the way through the document feeder.  
Redialing  
If the line is busy or if there is no answer, your OKIFAX  
will wait, and then automatically redial the number. The  
dial parameter settings determine how many times it will  
redial and how long it will wait between attempts—see  
page 54 for details.  
Shortcut Fax Number Programming  
This convenient feature lets you program a number into your  
OKIFAX for future use while you’re sending a fax to it. It  
even finds the first available One Touch key (or Auto Dial  
number, if all the One Touch keys are programmed) for you  
to program.  
Also, if your OKIFAX is transmitting from  
memory and a communication error occurs, it will auto-  
matically redial the number and try to resend the fax.

Rejecting Unsolicited Fax Messages—Closed Network Option  
The closed network option lets you set your OKIFAX to  
only transmit faxes to or receive faxes from locations pro-  
grammed into One Touch keys or Auto Dial numbers. You  
can also set it to receive faxes only from those programmed  
locations. This is one way of reducing the number of unsolic-  
ited faxes, such as advertisements you receive. To use the  
closed network function, follow the instructions below.  
No Paper Reception  
When your OKIFAX runs out of paper, incoming faxes  
are stored in the machine’s memory. The MSG. IN

Power Failures and Memory  
If you are sending a fax, you can answer a voice re-  
quest only after all pages have been transmitted. If you  
are receiving a fax, you can answer a voice request af-  
ter reception of each page.  
If power to your OKIFAX is interrupted, the problems listed  
below will occur.  
Note: You can prevent these problems by installing an  
optional memory expansion board. These have a battery  
back-up system that protects stored information for at least  
one hour.  
You will know if the person on the other fax machine  
has issued a voice request when you hear a warbling  
tone. If you do not respond in approximately six sec-

10 T/F TIMER PROG.: When set to the telephone/fax an-  
swering mode, your OKIFAX automatically distinguishes  
between incoming voice and fax calls. If the incoming call  
is a voice call, OKIFAX rings to tell you to pick up the  
handset. If you do not answer, OKIFAX automatically  
switches back to facsimile mode to allow the calling party  
to send a fax. The T/F TIMER function controls how  
long it waits before switching back to fax mode. Available  
settings are 20 SECONDS or 35 SECONDS (default).

12 DISTINCTIVE RING: Distinctive ringing is a service offered by  
some telephone carriers. It lets you have different numbers  
on one line, each with its own distinctive ring. You can then  
use one number exclusively as a fax number without the ex-  
pense of a second line. (Your local telephone carrier can pro-  
vide you with more information about this service, which  
usually has an additional charge.) To use this function, refer  
to Setting Your Fax Machine’s Ring Pattern below. Available

Distinctive Ring service.  
7 Using a separate telephone line, dial the number  
assigned to the OKIFAX within 90 seconds—if you  
don’t have access to a second line, have someone else  
make the call for you. When your OKIFAX begins to  
ring, it automatically detects and remembers its  
assigned ring pattern. Be sure to let it ring until either  
RESULT=OK or RESULT=NG displays. When the  
OKIFAX has sucessfully finished programming its  
ring pattern, the display shows RESULT=OK.  
Your OKIFAX must be in FAX or PC answer mode, and  
the PBX dial parameter must be set to OFF. Other modes–  
TEL, TEL/FAX, or TAD–will override Distinctive Ring.  
This feature may not work properly if you have a  
telephone other than a genuine Okidata optional handset  
connected to your OKIFAX.

nected to a PBX (Private Branch Exchange—a phone sys-  
tem used to route internal calls). Once this function has  
been turned on and the access digit function has been pro-  
grammed using the Dial Prefix parameter (below), your  
OKIFAX recognizes the access digit you use in your PBX  
to get an outside line.See the Dial Prefix function below  
for mor information. Available settings are ON and OFF.  
Default: OFF. See “Connecting to a PBX,” page 23, for in-  
structions on changing this setting.  
These functions allow you to control the way your  
OKIFAX dials telephone numbers. Refer to the Dial Pa-  
rameter Settings List below to determine which settings  
you may need to change, then refer to Changing Your  
Dial Parameter Settings (page 55) to make the change.

DIAL PREFIX: If your OKIFAX is connected to a PBX, use  
this function to specify the access digit used to obtain an  
outside line from your PBX. You can enter a number  
with up to four digits. When this parameter is pro-  
grammed, the OKIFAX recognizes the access digit  
when you enter a number and automatically pauses  
for an outside line before dialing the rest of the  
number. See “Connecting to a PBX,” page 23, for in-  
structions on changing this setting. Available settings  
are ON and OFF. Default: OFF.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge  
Note: If you cannot remove jammed paper using the  
procedure above and most of the jammed sheet has  
emerged from the machine, use the following method. You  
will probably need someone to help you.  
The number of pages you can print with one toner cartridge  
varies depending on the type of documents you usually re-  
ceive or copy. A toner cartridge will print about 2,000 letter-  
size pages at a typical print coverage of 4% (equivalent of  
CCITT No. 1 test chart).  
Open the document stacker and copy stacker (steps 1  
and 2 above).  
Note: The first toner cartridge in your new OKIFAX has to fill  
the drum reservoir and saturate the developing roller with  
toner. For this reason, it will need to be replaced sooner  
than subsequent cartridges—after about 1,000 pages.  
Reach between the two stackers and push back the  
blue output guide while pulling the paper out. Do not force  
the paper: you could damage the mechanism or leave  
paper fragments in it.

If your OKIFAX displays “TONER LOW” or “REPLACE  
TONER CART.,” replace the toner cartridge with a new one  
soon. If print density is high enough, you can continue to to  
use the toner cartridge without replacing it until print quality  
becomes unacceptable. Keep in mind that if you don’treplace  
the cartridge soon, there is a risk that a fax will be unreadable  
when it prints using an empty cartridge.

The “CHANGE DRUM SOON” Message  
The life of an image drum depends on a number of factors,  
including temperature and humidity, the type of paper you  
use, and the number of pages per job.  
The “CHANGE DRUM SOON” message is a warning that  
the image drum cartridge in your OKIFAX may be  
approaching the end of its usable life, which is approximately  
20,000 pages, depending on the length and type of document  
you receive or copy. It appears when the drum has used up  
approximately 90% of its life, based on an internal calculation.  
Cautions:  
Never expose the image drum unit to light for more  
than 5 minutes.  
Never expose the image drum unit to direct sunlight.  
Never touch the surface of the green drum inside the  
This message does not mean that you must replace the image  
drum immediately, nor does it cause your OKIFAX to stop  
working. In most cases, your image drum still has at least  
10% of its productive life left. You can continue to use the  
image drum as long as print quality is acceptable; however,  
you should have a replacement image drum and toner  
cartridge handy. Replace the drum when print quality  
deteriorates below an acceptable level.  
image drum unit.  
Be careful not to scratch the green surface when you  
put the drum down on a table or other surface.  
To replace the Image Drum Cartridge:  
1
Lift the doument table into an upright position.  
Replacing the Image Drum Cartridge  
You need a new image drum if the faxes you receive are light  
or have vertical streaks in them and you are not out of toner,  
or if your OKIFAX displays a “CHANGE DRUM” message.  
Contact your Authorized OKIFAX Dealer to order one.

Nothing happens when you press the control panel keys. Open and  
close the upper cover.  
The display shows a communication error. A “COMMUN.  
ERROR” message indicates any of a number of problems.  
You may be trying to communicate with an incompatible  
fax machine (your OKIFAX can only communicate with ITU-  
T Group 3 fax machines).  
If that does not solve the problem, turn the OKIFAX off,  
wait ten seconds, then turn it on again.  
• The remote machine may not be able to perform the  
function that you want, such as polling or confidential  
messages.  
• The remote machine may be out of paper or experiencing a  
paper jam.  
• Bad telephone line conditions can cause communication  
errors. Try sending the fax again and check to make sure you  
are dialing the correct telephone number.  
• If you have to dial a prefix number to get an outside line, or  
if you are dialing internationally, you may need to enter a  
pause (using the Pause One Touch key) after the dial prefix or  
international dialing code to tell your machine to wait for a  
dial tone.  
• If you have frequent problems communicating with a  
particular remote fax machine, try programming the number  
into one of your One Touch keys and then changing the One  
Touch Parameters for that One Touch key (see page 28).  
• Lastly, either your OKIFAX or the remote fax machine may  
need servicing. Try sending a fax to another location to check  
your machine.  
The display tells you to replace paper even though there is paper in  
the paper tray. Make sure that the paper is properly stacked in  
the tray. Then check for a paper jam in the paper feed path.  
Your documents jam in the scanner. Check the document for  
wrinkles, tears or other damage. If it is damaged, try making a  
copy of the document on a photocopier and faxing or  
scanning the copy. Make sure there are no staples or paper  
clips and that the paper is clean and dry. Make sure the  
document is not wider than your OKIFAX can load.  
Your OKIFAX won’t dial. Check the power cord and wall outlet.  
Make sure that your telephone line (not your external  
telephone or handset) is connected to the LINE outlet on the  
back of your OKIFAX—see page 17. If you have an external  
telephone connected, lift the handset and check for a dial tone.  
If you do not hear one, there may be a problem with your  
telephone line. If you do hear a dial tone, your OKIFAX may  
be using the wrong dialing method (pulse or tone) for your  
area. If you hear changing tones instead of dialing pulses and  
you know that your area uses pulse dialing, refer to the  
MF(TONE)/DP(PULSE) dial parameter setting on page 54.  
Problem Solving 71

4/15/98, 9:44 AM  
You sent a fax but the image the remote fax machine received was very  
poor. If your document had a lot of small type, complex  
illustrations, photos, or was very light or very dark, try  
changing your resolution and contrast settings (see “Loading  
Documents,” page 33). Copy the document on your  
OKIFAX to preview how it will transmit. The problem may  
be caused by telephone line interference. Try sending the  
document again later.  
You tried dialing with a One Touch key or an Auto Dial code but  
nothing happened. Make sure that something is programmed  
into the One Touch key or Auto Dial code you are using.  
Check the fax number to make sure it was entered correctly  
(see the Dial Directories chapter). When you are dialing with  
an Auto Dial code, be sure to press the Auto Dial key before  
you enter the code. If your OKIFAX has the Auto Start  
feature turned off, you will have to press the Start key before  
dialing will begin (see page 55).  
You sent a fax but it was received completely blank. Make sure that  
you have loaded your document face down.  
Your OKIFAX does not answer the phone or receive faxes. First make  
sure that your OKIFAX is turned on and the power cord is  
connected to the AC outlet. If you have a handset connected  
to your OKIFAX, check that there is a dial tone on the phone  
line. Also check the reception mode you are using—your  
OKIFAX will not automatically receive faxes in manual  
answering mode [TEL]. In TAD mode, the answering  
machine answers the call first. See Setting the Answering  
Mode, page 20.  
You keep getting reports you do not want. Message Confirmation  
Reports can be set to print automatically after each single or  
multiple-location transmission; Error Reports can be set to  
print after each failed transmission or reception. Check your  
user function settings and turn off the reports you do not  
want. See the chapters on Customizing OKIFAX and  
Reports.  
The image received on your OKIFAX was very poor. Contact the  
person sending you the fax and ask them to change their  
resolution and contrast settings. Ask the person to make a  
copy of the document on their fax machine to make sure it is  
working properly. Then ask them to send the fax again. If  
you still have a problem, try making a copy of a document on  
your machine to make sure it is working properly. If blotches  
or recurring marks appear, print a cleaning page.  
Your received documents are light or have vertical streaks on them  
and you are not out of toner. First, print a cleaning page—Press  
the Select Function key, then press the 10/Msg. Print from  
Memory key, then press the Yeskey. If that doesn’t help,  
Gently wipe the lens surface of the LED array with a soft pad  
moistened with rubbing alcohol, and then see if the machine  
works properly (refer to “Replacing the Toner Cartridge,” page  
63). If your OKIFAX still does not work properly, remove  
the image drum unit (refer to “Replacing the Image Drum  
Unit,” page 66), and tap the toner cartridge. If this does not  
work, you may need to replace your image drum cartridge.

You set your OKIFAX for delayed transmission but it did not send.  
Check the display to make sure that you have set the clock to  
the correct time. See “Setting the Date and Time,” page 19.  
Your received faxes sometimes look distorted. If the document  
received is wider or longer than the paper you have loaded  
into your paper tray, your OKIFAX automatically reduces the  
length of the document to fit on your paper. This type of  
problem could also be communication related.  
Your OKIFAX disconnected before you could answer a voice request.  
You must answer a voice request while the warbling tone is  
sounding. When you hear the warbling tone, press the Voice  
Request key after picking up your handset.  
You are constantly receiving unsolicited advertising on your OKIFAX.  
Try using the closed network function. See page 37.  
Your OKIFAX will not poll a remote fax machine. Call the person at  
the remote fax machine and make sure that they have loaded  
documents and set their fax machine in polling transmission  
mode.  
Your OKIFAX does not immediately switch to TEL mode when you  
make or receive a voice call. Try pressing the Stop key. Your  
OKIFAX will return to standby mode so that you can  
converse. This condition may happen infrequently due to  
telephone line conditions, or the type of external telephone  
used. Check the physical line connections—wall outlet and  
cord. If this problem happens often, call your Authorized  
OKIFAX Dealer for seervice.  
Someone tried to send you a confidential fax but nothing happened.  
You must set up a mail box before anyone can send you a  
confidential fax. See “Receiving Confidential Faxes,” page 43.  
Make sure the person sending you the fax knows the correct  
mail box number.  
Your OKIFAX is connected to a PBX and you cannot dial out. You  
must enter your access digit to reach an outside line before the  
telephone number for each number that you dial or program  
into your machine. Also, your OKIFAX must be pro-  
grammed for PBX operation before it will work. See “Con-  
necting to a PBX,” page 23.  
You want to answer an external telephone but your OKIFAX always  
answers first. If you are using an external telephone, change  
your OKIFAX’s incoming ring response user function  
setting. See page 52.
