BEFORE USE
Dual function key access:
Dual function keys perform one function or the other in accordance with the relative operating conditions as
explained later in the manual during examination of the relative functions.
PRINTER
This is the device which prints the documents received or copied by the fax machine. It uses a "Bubble Ink
Jet” printing system in which microscopic ink particles are projected onto the paper from nozzles on the
print head to obtain perfect reproduction of the original document.
Two types of print head may be used:
•
with interchangeable ink cartridge (supplied in the pack)
•
disposable
OPTICAL SCANNER
This device optically scans the original document containing the text or images to be transmitted. The page
is illuminated by a series of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) and the light beams are reflected back to sensors
at varying intensity according to the characteristics of the image. The sensors convert the reflected light
beams into electrical signals, and these are then converted into internationally recognised digital codes.
MEMORY
The fax machine memory comprises electronic chips powered by an automatic recharge battery. The
memory is divided into two main sections.
•
data memory:
The data memory contains machine set-up information such as installation and configuration
parameters and programming data. This information is retained indefinitely in the memory, even when
the fax machine is disconnected from the mains.
•
document memory:
With a maximum storage capacity of about ten pages.
If the fax machine runs out of paper or ink while a document is being received, the document will be
stored in the memory. When normal operating conditions are resumed, the document stored on hold in
the memory will be printed. Until normal conditions are restored, no other documents will be stored in
the memory.
During document reception, the printing speed may be lower than reception speed. In this case, the
document is partially stored in the memory before printing.
Even in the event of a power failure, the data memorised in the document memory is maintained for
several hours.
•
voice memory:
Records the messages on the telephone answering device. One part of the memory is used for the
outgoing messages, i.e. the messages you record yourself and the other is used for storing incoming
messages, i.e. those left by callers. The total recording time is 10 min (4Mbits). The messages are
retained in the memory for several hours (at least ten) by a battery in the event of a power failure. The
battery can be completely recharged by leaving the machine powered on for 30 hours.
