GENERAL 1 General Information 1.1 Introduction Thank you for choosing this Minoltafax 1300 and showing confidence in our product. This machine has a modern design and fulfils today’s requirements of a fax machine. It combines advanced technology with a harmonious design. The machine is authorised for use in the public telephone network and is compatible to other fax machines of the communication standard 3.
GENERAL 1.2 How Does a Fax Machine Work? A fax machine can be connected to a normal telephone system without taking any special precautions, just like a normal telephone set. The function of a fax machine is quite similar to that of a telephone. The way a fax machine works is simple: documents that are to be transmitted are "read" by the take-up unit, the so called scanner. The machine does not recognise the letters but reads the picture, dot by dot, and marks each dot as black or white.
GENERAL 1.3 Safety Precautions • Connect the machine only to a 200 - 240 V/ 50 Hz earthed power point which complies with the VDE standards. Try to avoid the use of multiple power points. • Make sure the power is not turned off over night. • Always pull at the plug, never at the wire, when you want disconnect the machine from the power supply. • To facilitate communication always keep the machine switched on and program the correct user data.
GENERAL 1.4 User Instructions (For UK Users) These facsimiles are approved for connection to the British Telecom public switched telecommunication systems in accordance with the British telecommunication Act of 1984. The usage should be subject to the conditions set out in these instructions. Any other usage will INVALIDATE this approval.
GENERAL operation. It is therefore strongly recommended that the facsimile is set to use DTMF signalling for access to public or private emergency services if it is used with a hand-set. DTMF signalling also provides faster call set up. 7 Ringer Equivalent Number (REN) for the facsimile is 1. The REN relates to the performance of the facsimile when used in parallel with other items of terminal equipment.
GENERAL 13 It may be necessary to insert a pause in the autodial sequence when sending transmissions overseas in order that the international exchanges have time to interconnect. For example, you may require a sequence of 010 "PAUSE" 1555677899 to transmit a fax message to your New York office. To insert a pause, press the "REDIAL/P" key. One key operation causes a pause of 4 seconds in the dialling sequence. 1.4.
GENERAL 1.5 Ozone Release Warning During printer operation, a small quantity of ozone is released. This amount is not large enough to harm anyone adversely. However, be sure the room where the fax machine is being used has adequate ventilation, especially if you are printing a high volume of material or if the fax machine is being used continuously over a long period. 1.6 Features Your new fax machine is a compact multi-functional device facilitating your work and reducing your fax communication times.
