Registering one-touch speed dialing numbers and names
The quickest way to dial a fax number is to use one-touch speed dialing. This allows you to dial a number by pressing a single button. Before you can use one-touch speed dialing, you must register the receiving number with your fax. You can also register the name of the party and a voice tag; the name appears on the printout of the one-touch speed dialing list.
Press [Function]. Use [ ] or [ ] to select TEL REGISTRATION.

1-TOUCH SPD DIAL 3

Use [ ] or [ ] to select the number of the one-touch speed dialing button (01-09) under which you want to register the number.
If a number is already registered under this one-touch speed dialing button, the number is displayed on the LCD.
Enter the partys number (up to 50 digits) using the numeric buttons.

Press [Start/Copy] to register the number.
Enter the party's name (up to 16 letters) using the numeric buttons (see pp. 2-4, 2-5).
Press [Start/Copy] to register the name.
To delete the name and number registered under the one-touch speed dialing button, press [Clear] and [Start/Copy] after you perform steps 1 to 4 above.
Register the partys voice tag for UCanTalk.
See Registering UCanTalk voice tags, p. 2-15. The fax asks you if you want to register the voice tag. YES=( ) NO=(#)
Press [ ] or [#] to select YES or NO.
If you selected NO in step 7, proceed to step 9. If you selected YES in step 7: After a tone, speak the partys name into the microphone.
The fax asks you to speak the partys name again.
After a tone, speak into the microphone again.
To assign additional one-touch speed dialing numbers, start from step 4. To finish, press [Stop].
If voice tag registration fails three consecutive times, registration will end. If this happens, start again from step 4.
Registering coded speed dialing numbers and names
Use coded speed dialing to dial a fax number at the press of three buttons. A fax/telephone number can be registered under each two-digit speed dialing code and you can register up to 70 locations. You can also register the name of the party and a voice tag; the name appears on the printout of the coded speed dialing list.

Automatic redialing ____________________________
I What is automatic redialing?
When you are sending a document and the receiving partys line is busy, the fax waits the specified time and then dials the same number again. You can set the fax to redial several times if previous attempts fail because of a busy signal. Automatic redialing can be turned off and on. The number of redialing attempts and the time interval between attempts can also be adjusted (see AUTO REDIAL, p. 8-3). If all redialing attempts are unsuccessful, the fax will cancel the transmission. You can set the fax to print an ERROR TX REPORT to remind you that the transmission was not completed (see p. 8-3). When automatic redialing is in use, the LCD displays AUTO REDIAL while it is waiting to redial.
I Canceling automatic redialing
If you want to cancel a memory-sending transmission while the fax is waiting to redial, you will have to delete the document from memory (see p. 5-15).
I Setting the options for automatic redialing
You can set the following options for automatic redialing: Whether or not the fax redials automatically. The number of times the fax attempts to redial. The time interval between redialing attempts.

Periodic cleaning

Your fax requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for the fax. Please note the following before cleaning: Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the fax. Since documents in memory are erased when the power is disconnected, print any documents stored in memory before disconnecting the power cord (see p. 5-14). Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the components or generate static charges.
Never use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean the interior of the fax.
Cleaning the exterior of the fax _______________
Disconnect the power cord from the fax. Wipe the exterior of the fax with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water or diluted dishwashing detergent solution. When you are finished, reconnect the power cord.
Cleaning the interior of the fax ________________
I Cleaning inside the printer cover
To prevent ink spots and paper dust from accumulating inside the fax and affecting print quality, clean the print area of the fax periodically.
Disconnect the power cord from the fax. Open the printer cover.
Do not touch the components or any metal parts.
Use a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove any ink or paper debris from the interior of the fax (shaded area), especially around the four pinch rollers.
Dirt and dust particles that collect on the underside of the printer cover affect the quality of the documents you copy or send.
Pinch rollers Be careful not to touch the BJ cartridge or its holder.
When you are finished, close the printer cover.
Be sure to close the printer cover until it locks into place.
Reconnect the power cord.
I Cleaning the scanner components
If the scanner components are dirty, the documents you send or copy will also be dirty. Use a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning.
Disconnect the power cord from the fax. Open the printer cover. While holding the scanning unit, flip down the scanning unit cover, marked with a white strip inside, clean the components.

LCD messages

The following messages are displayed on the LCD when the fax is performing a function or encounters an error.

Message

AUTO REDIAL
The fax is waiting to redial the receiving number because the line was busy or the receiving party did not answer when you tried to send the document. The telephone number you dialed is busy. The fax number dialed was incorrect. The other partys fax machine is not working. The other party is not using a G3 machine.

Action

Wait for the fax to automatically redial the number. If you want to cancel automatic redialing, press [Stop] (see p. 5-9). Try sending the document at a later time. Check the fax number and dial again. Contact the other party and have them check their fax machine. Contact the other party and ask them to send or receive the document using a G3 machine. Set your fax to the setting that matches your telephone line (see p. 2-6). Contact the receiving party and have them check their fax machine. You can try to send the document using manual sending (see p. 5-4). For longdistance call, add pauses to the registered number (see p. 5-8). Clear the paper jam or whatever is obstructing the cartridge holder and then press [Stop] and start again. Do not attempt to move the cartridge holder manually.

BUSY/NO SIGNAL

The touch tone/rotary pulse setting on your fax is incorrect. The receiving fax machine did not answer within 55 seconds (after all automatic redialing attempts).

CARTRIDGE JAMMED

The cartridge holder cannot move. This is normally due to a paper jam.

CHANGE CARTRIDGE

The BJ cartridge is empty.
Replace the BJ cartridge (see p. 9-5). The fax will then print automatically any documents received in memory. Set the document you are trying to send or copy (see p. 3-2), or check for a document jam and clear the jam if necessary (see p. 9-1), and start again. Load the correct paper size or change the PAPER SIZE setting (see p. 8-4). Check for any obstruction (paper clip, small object, etc.) and also that the orange protective cap and tape are removed from the BJ cartridge. Check also for a paper jam and clear the jam if necessary (see p. 9-1). Then press [Stop] and start again. Press [Stop]. Reinstall the BJ cartridge (see p. 1-9) and start again. In either case, if the error does not clear, try unplugging the fax. Wait several minutes, then plug it back in. Also, try replacing the BJ cartridge with a new one (see p. 9-5).
