Safety Installation Hints ■ Install your OKIFAX 5050 in a dust-free location away from direct sunlight. ■ Do not plug your OKIFAX into a power source shared by equipment which produces electrical noise (i.e., air conditioners, etc.). ■ Leave electronic adjustments to authorized service personnel. ■ The LINE terminal connects your fax machine to a standard telephone line.
■ ■ When relocating your OKIFAX, always disconnect the telephone line before disconnecting the power cord, then reconnect the power cord first. ■ ■ Leave unused toner cartridges and image drum units in their packages until needed. When replacing a toner cartridge or image unit, re-use the packaging to dispose of the old toner cartridge or image drum unit. ■ Do not expose these components to light for more than five minutes. Never expose the green drum (inside the image drum unit) to direct sunlight.

Faxing: Basic Operations This chapter explains how to load documents for faxing, how to send and receive faxes, how to use the closed network and voice request features, and how your OKIFAX handles power interruptions. Preparing Documents for Faxing Use the information in this section to make sure your documents scan and fax easily and clearly. Guidelines ■ Try to use good quality documents for your fax transmissions.
When loading multiple-page documents, do not load paper thinner than 0.003" (0.08 mm) or thicker than 0.005" (0.13 mm). For single-page documents, do not load paper thinner than 0.002" (0.06 mm) or thicker than 0.006" (0.15 mm). 2 Stack your documents neatly, then insert them face down into the document feeder. Readjust the document guides for a snug fit. 3 Your OKIFAX will grip the documents and pull the bottom page into the machine.
If necessary, use the No © key to adjust the level of contrast in your document. For most documents, the default NORMAL setting works best. 5 Document Type Contrast to Use Documents with normal contrast NORMAL Documents which are too light LIGHT Documents which are too dark DARK Your documents are now ready for faxing or copying. 6 The table below explains some of the messages you may see during a typical fax transmission.

Customizing OKIFAX 5050 Customizing Fax Features and Operations Many of your OKIFAX 5050’s features and functions have settings which can be changed to customize its operation. The user functions control a broad range of features, such as when certain reports print, and how the OKIFAX responds to incoming calls. The dial parameters control how the OKIFAX dials fax numbers; in most cases, the settings are determined by the type of phone service you have. 4 Press the Yes § key. The report prints.
03 ERR REPORT(MCF): This function automatically prints a Message Confirmation Report each time an error occurs during a transmission or polling transmission operation. The report provides information about the transmission—see page 56 for details. Available settings are ON (default) and OFF. 04 IMAGE IN MCF: When a message confirmation of a memory transmission is printed, this function adds a portion of the first page of the document that was sent.
11 RING RESPONSE: This function controls how long your OKIFAX waits before answering an incoming telephone call. The available settings are 1 RING (default), 5 SECONDS, 10 SECONDS, 15 SECONDS, or 20 SECONDS. Note: At the default 1-ring setting, your OKIFAX answers calls immediately, and you will not hear any ring. If you need to hear the ring, change to one of the other settings. 12 DISTINCTIVE RING: Distinctive ringing is a service offered by some telephone carriers.
Note: Occasionally, your OKIFAX may not be able to detect its ring pattern on the first try. If this happens, the display shows RESULT=NG. Follow the instructions again from Step 6. 8 Press the Yes § key to confirm your selection. 9 Press the Select Function key to finish. 13 1'ST PAPER SIZE: This function allows you to specify the size of paper you are using in the paper tray.

18 MEM./FEEDER SW.: This function controls how OKIFAX normally transmits fax messages: by scanning the document into memory first, or by transmitting directly from the document feeder. Available settings are FEEDER (default) and MEMORY. Note: If you are using the MEMORY setting and you send a large number of faxes in one session, you may encounter a MEM OVERFLOW error message. If this occurs often, you can correct the problem either by adding an optional memory upgrade or by changing to the FEEDER setting.
Dial Parameter Settings These functions allow you to control the way your OKIFAX dials telephone numbers. Refer to the Dial Parameter Settings List below to determine which settings you may need to change, then refer to Changing Your Dial Parameter Settings (page 55) to make the change.

If your document had a lot of small type, complex illustrations, photos, or was very light or very dark, try changing your resolution and contrast settings (see “Loading Documents,” page 33).

Try sending the document again later. ■ You sent a fax but it was received completely blank.
