Loading the Imaging Film Your fax uses a roll of imaging film to create printed text and images. The print head in the fax applies heat to the imaging film to transfer ink to the paper. Follow the steps below to load or replace the film. The initial starter roll of imaging film included with your fax can print about 30 A4 pages. When replacing the film, use a roll of Sharp FO-3CR imaging film. One roll can print about 95 A4 pages.
Loading the Imaging Film If you are installing the imaging film for the first time, go to Step 6. 3 Remove the imaging film cartridge from the print compartment (grasp the handle at the front of the cartridge) and turn it over. 4 Remove the used film from the cartridge. 5 Remove the four green gears from the used film.
6 Remove the new roll of imaging film from its packaging. • Do not yet remove the band that holds the rolls together. 7 Insert the large gear into the green end of the empty spool. Make sure the two protrusions on the large gear fit firmly into the slots in the end of the spool. Insert the remaining three gears into the spools, making sure the protrusion on each gear fits firmly into one of the slots in the end of each spool.
Loading the Imaging Film 8 Insert the large gear into the large holder on the imaging film cartridge (make sure it clicks into place), and then insert the small gear on the other end of the spool into its holder. 9 Cut the band that holds the two spools together. Unroll the film slightly and insert the small gears into their holders. 10 22 Turn the cartridge over, grasp the handle, and insert the cartridge into the print compartment.
11 Rotate the large gear toward you until the film is taut. 12 Close the print compartment cover (press down on both sides to make sure it clicks into place), and then close the operation panel. Click! 13 Load paper in the paper tray and then press the following keys to initialize the film. Note: Paper must be loaded before the film can be initialized.

Eand a number from 0 to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 in the NOTE column. Check and remedy • Try the transaction again. If the error persists, check the following: • Check the connection. The cord from the TEL. LINE socket to the wall socket should be no longer than two meters. • Make sure there are no modem devices sharing the same telephone line.
Problems and Solutions The power is on, but no transmission takes place. • Make sure that the receiving machine has fax paper. • Make sure that the telephone line cord is plugged into the TEL. LINE socket, and not the TEL. SET socket. • If the receiving machine is in manual mode with no attendant, reception will not be possible. • If the receiving machine is not a Sharp model, make sure it is G3 compatible. • Check the display for error messages. Nothing is printed at the receiving end.
Problems and Solutions General print quality is poor. • It is important to select a paper that is appropriate for the thermal transfer printer in your fax. We recommend using laser quality paper that has a very smooth finish. Copier paper will work, but it sometimes tends to yield a lighter print quality. The received document is faint. • Ask the other party to send higher contrast documents. If the contrast is still too low, your fax may have a problem. Make a copy to check it.
Problems and Solutions General problems Problem Check and remedy Information cannot be programmed in the fax. • Make sure the fax is plugged in and the imaging film and paper have been loaded. (Programming is not possible if the imaging film and printing paper have not been loaded.) See Loading the Imaging Film and Loading Printing Paper in Chapter 1.
