DD UX300U-ISCO Connections Connections Points to keep in mind when setting up Do not place the machine in direct sunlight. Do not place the machine near heaters or air conditioners. Keep dust away from the machine. Keep the area around the machine clear. About condensation If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that condensation may form on the scanning glass, preventing proper scanning of documents for transmission.
Connections Handset Connect the handset as shown and place it on the handset rest. ♦ The ends of the handset cord are identical, so they will go into either jack. Make sure the handset cord goes into the jack marked with a handset symbol on the side of the machine! Use the handset to make ordinary phone calls, or to transmit and receive documents manually. 11 1.
Connections Power cord Plug the power cord into a 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded (3-prong) AC outlet. Caution! Do not plug the power cord into any other kind of outlet. This will damage the machine and is not covered under the warranty. The machine does not have a power on/off switch, so the power is turned on and off by simply plugging in or unplugging the power cord.
Connections Telephone line cord Insert one end of the line cord into the jack on the back of the machine marked TEL. LINE. Insert the other end into a standard (RJ11C) single-line wall telephone jack. TE SEL. T T EL LI . NE Be sure to insert the telephone line cord into the TEL. LINE jack. Do not insert it into the TEL.

UX300U-ISIF Loading the Imaging Film 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 letter-size pages. When replacing the film, use a roll of Sharp UX-3CR imaging film. One roll can print about 100 letter-size 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.

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.

YF UX300U-SFME Sending Documents From Memory Sending Documents From Memory With this function, the original document is scanned immediately, stored in memory, and then transmitted once the connection to the receiving machine is made. This is convenient when transmitting to places where the line is often busy, as it saves you from waiting to pick up the original document and frees the feeder for other operations. After transmission, the document will be cleared from memory.
Sending Documents From Memory 3 Enter the number of the receiving machine using one of the following methods: • Press a Rapid Key. • Press the SPEED DIAL key and 01 02 03 (Example) enter a Speed Dial number. • Enter a full telephone number by pressing the number keys. 4 Press the START/MEMORY key if you entered a Speed Dial number or a full number.

RT UX300U-SFPO Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission) Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission) Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a document (previously loaded in its feeder) to your machine without operator assistance. In other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, initiates the transmission. You can use your machine to both poll and be polled by others.
Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission) Being polled (polling standby) To let another fax machine poll your machine, simply set the reception mode to FAX, and load the document(s) to be sent. Transmission will take place when the other fax machine calls your machine and activates polling. Automatic reception is possible while your machine is on polling standby. Polling security Polling Security allows you to prevent unauthorized polling of your machine.
Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission) Storing and clearing fax numbers for polling permission You can store up to 10 fax numbers in your machine’s list of permitted numbers. 1 Press the keys shown at right. ENTRY MODE will appear in the display. 2 Press the # key four times. PASSCODE # MODE will appear in the display. 3 Press 1 to store a number, or 2 to clear a number. 4 Storing: Enter a 2-digit number from 01 to 10. This number identifies the fax number you will store in the next step.
YF UX300U-SFTI Timer Operations Timer Operations The Timer function allows you to set a transmission and/or polling operation to be performed automatically at a time you specify. One transmission operation and one polling operation can be set at any one time, and the times they will be performed can be specified up to 24 hours in advance. As an example, you can use this function to take advantage of lower nighttime telephone rates without having to be there when the operation is performed.
Timer Operations 7 Enter the Speed Dial number of the receiving fax machine. 5 0 • If this is a polling operation, go to (Example) Step 10. 8 Press the START/MEMORY key. START/MEMORY 9 Adjust the resolution and/or contrast if desired (skip to the next step if you don’t want to change settings). 10 Press the START/MEMORY key and then the STOP key. If this is a transmission operation, load the document in the feeder sometime before the specified time of transmission.
