OKIFAX 740
User’s Guide

Safety
•
Your OKIFAX 740 has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety
feature, and it will only fit into a earthed outlet. If you can
not plug it in, chances are that you have an older,
non-earthed outlet; contact an electrician to have it replaced
with a earthed outlet. Do not use an adapter to defeat the
earthing.
Your OKIFAX 740 has been carefully designed to give you years
of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment,
there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting
yourself or damaging the unit:
•
•
•
•
Read the setup and operating instructions in this manual
carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.
Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the
machine itself.
•
•
The outlet into which you plug your OKIFAX 740 must
remain easily accessible at all times.
To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put anything
on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cable
becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
If you’re using an extension cable or power strip with the
machine, make sure that the total current required by all
the equipment on the extension is less than the extension’s
rating. Generally, the total ratings of all equipment plugged
into any one power line should not exceed 15 amperes. Do
not exceed this unless you know that the power line your
equipment is plugged into has a rating above 15 amperes.
Aside from the routine maintenance described in this
manual, don’t try to service the machine yourself; opening
the cover may expose you to shocks or other hazards. Do
not make any adjustments other than those outlined in the
manual, you might cause damage requiring extensive repair
work.
Unplug the OKIFAX 740 before you clean it. Use only a
damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Place your OKIFAX 740 on a firm, solid surface. If you
put in on something unsteady, it might fall and be damaged;
if you place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed,
the vents may be blocked, causing it to overheat.
To protect your OKIFAX 740 from overheating, make sure
no openings on the machine are blocked. Do not put the
machine on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat
register. If you put the machine in any kind of enclosure,
make sure it is well ventilated.
•
•
•
•
•
Do not use your OKIFAX 740 near water, or spill liquid of
any kind into it.
Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed
on the back of the machine. If you are not sure, check with
your dealer or with your local power company.
3
•
If anything happens that indicates that your OKIFAX 740
is not working properly or has been damaged, unplug it
immediately and contact your Oki dealer for service. These
are some of the things to look for:
•
•
The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.
Liquid has been spilled into the housing, or the machine
has been exposed to water.
•
•
The machine has been dropped or its cabinet has been
damaged.
The machine doesn’t function normally when you are
following the operating instructions.

FAX Mode
Reception
In this mode of operation your OKIFAX will automatically
answer incoming calls with a fax answer tone. This is
appropriate if your telephone line is dedicated to fax.
Your OKIFAX 740 provides four modes for call reception:
• TEL mode
• FAX mode
• TEL/FAX mode
• TAD mode
TEL/FAX Mode
In this mode your OKIFAX 740 will automatically answer
incoming calls. If it detects a remote fax machine calling it
will automatically respond and receive the fax message.
Each mode is selectable at any time by pressing [RECEIVE
MODE]. You may also set the machine’s default mode (the
mode adopted by your OKIFAX 740 when it is switched
on) by programming function 47.
If no remote fax machine is detected your OKIFAX 740
will emit a high-pitched audible tone. In this case, lift your
telephone handset and press [STOP] to begin a voice
conversation.
TEL Mode
In this mode your OKIFAX 740 will not automatically
answer incoming calls. This is convenient if you have a
normal telephone installed and wish to answer incoming
voice calls on the same line.
After a voice exchange, to commence a fax exchange press
[START] and hang up the telephone.
TAD Mode
If you answer a call and hear a remote fax machine (short
beeps at 3-second intervals), press [START] to begin fax
reception.
TAD stands for ‘Telephone Answering Device,’ and is

NOTE 1
This apparatus is also approved for use as an extension
instrument to compatible PBXs. The supplier of the
apparatus should be consulted for an up-to-date list of PBXs
with which this apparatus is compatible.
The OKIFAX 740 causes a voltage drop of 1.35V when
passing a PSTN current up to and including 40mA dc. Do
not connect the OKIFAX 740 with apparatus which, with
associated wiring causes the aggregate of the voltage drops
to exceed a value of 2V at a PSTN line current of 40mA dc.
The handset can be used to make “999” calls to the
Emergency Services.
The 2V level indicates the maximum impairment that may
be introduced between the terminal apparatus and the
NetworkTerminal Point (NTP) of a Relevant Branch system
(RBS) containing the apparatus.
The second telephone or answering machine must be
connected to the TEL 2 jack by means of the two-way
adaptor provided.
Only one OKIFAX 740 should be connected between any
series connected apparatus and the PSTN.
The apparatus is suitable for connection to PBXs which
return Secondary Proceed Indication. In these situations,
please insert pauses between the initial access digit and the
number to be dialled to the PSTN.
Difficulties may occasionally be experienced when making
calls from other apparatus connected to the PSTN via the
