Important Precautions and Safety Information

When using this fax machine, these basic safety precautions should always be followed to

reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons:

1. Read and understand all instructions.

2. Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.

3. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product and in the literature

accompanying the product.

4. If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information, heed the safety

information. You may have misunderstood the operating instruction. If you cannot resolve

the conflict, contact your sales or service representative for assistance.

5. Unplug the fax machine from the AC wall socket and telephone jack before cleaning. Do not

use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.

6. Do not place the fax machine on an unstable cart, stand, or table. It may fall, causing serious

damage.

7. Your fax machine should never be placed on, near, or over a radiator, heater, air conditioner,

or ventilation duct.

8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power, telephone. Do not locate your fax machine where

the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.

9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish performance, and may

result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

10. Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, telephone.

11. Never push objects of any kind into the fax machine through case or cabinet openings. They

may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk fire or shock. Never spill liquid of any

kind onto or into the fax machine.

12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the fax machine. Take it to a

qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may

expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly could cause electric

shock when the unit is subsequently used.

13. Unplug the machine from the telephone jack, and AC wall outlet, and refer servicing to

qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

¥ When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged or frayed.

¥ If liquid has been spilled into the product.

¥ If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

¥ If the product does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.

¥ If the product has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.

¥ If the product exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.

14. Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of

other controls may result in damage, and may require extensive work by a qualified service

technician to restore the product to normal operation.

15. Avoid using this fax machine during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk of

electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power, telephone, for the duration

In Case of Interference

In normal operation, your SAMSUNG fax machine produces and uses radio-frequency energy.

In some cases, this can cause interference to other electronic equipment. Part 15 of the FCC

rules establishes guidelines limiting the amount of radio-frequency energy which may be

produced by electronic equipment. Tests have proven that your Samsung FAX machine meets

or exceeds these guidelines, and is classified a ÒClass B Digital DeviceÓ for operation in a

residential environment. When installed and operated according to instructions, your

SAMSUNG fax machine should not cause interference to the types of equipment expected to be

found in a normal residential environment.

Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the userÕs authority to operate the

equipment.

In the event your SAMSUNG fax machine appears to cause interference to other electronic

equipment, it can often be easily remedied. First determine if the source of interference really

is your FAX machine. To do this, turn its power off and on while observing the equipment

experiencing the interference. If the interference disappears when you turn the FAX machine

off, the following steps can be very effective in correcting interference problems:

¥ Connect the FAX machine to an AC outlet which is on a different circuit breaker from the

equipment experiencing interference.

¥ Increase the distance between the FAX machine and the equipment experiencing

interference.

¥ Cable TV amplifiers and splitters are extremely prone to interference. Be certain that they

are as far as possible from the FAX machine and its AC power and telephone cords.

¥ Replace Òtwin leadÓ antenna wire with shielded coaxial cable, and use proper connectors

and adaptors.

¥ Turn or relocate the receiving antenna. In most cases this is easily done by simply moving a

radio. A TV antenna may need to be re-oriented or installed in another area of the building.

¥ Consult your dealer, a reputable radio/TV technician, or an Amateur Radio Operator for

help.

*To locate an Amateur Radio Operator in your area, contact The American Radio Relay League, 610 Main St., Newington, CT 06111.

Fax Branding

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a

computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine

unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page

or on the first page of the transmission the following information:

(1) the date and time of transmission

(2) identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the message; and

(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or individual.

See page 2.12 for instructions on how to enter this information into your Samsung FAX

machineÕs memory.

The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment

operations, or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its

business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes

can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with

telephone company communications facilities, or require modification or alteration of such

terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customer shall be

given adequate notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain

uninterrupted service.

Telephone Company Information

FCC IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this equipment may be

found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances you may

need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.

RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on the

telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have ÒoverloadedÓ the line.

Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in problems

making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is called. The sum of

all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your telephone line should be less than

five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five

may not be usable on your line. If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly,

you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the

telephone network.

WARNING:

FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved

by the manufacturer could void the userÕs authority to operate this equipment.

In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone

company should notify the customer that service may be stopped. However, where prior

notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease service, providing that they:

a) Promptly notify the customer.

b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.

c)

Inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication

Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

You should also know that:

¥ Your Samsung FAX machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.

¥ Special features, such as ÒCall WaitingÓ, may interrupt FAX service, and we suggest that

these services not be installed on the FAX line.

¥ If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as your FAX

machine, you may experience transmission and reception problems with all the equipment.

It is recommended that no other equipment, except for a regular telephone, share the line

with your FAX machine.

¥ If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that

you install surge protectors for both the power and the telephone lines. Surge protectors can

be purchased from your dealer or telephone and electronic specialty stores.

¥ When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers,

use a non-emergency number to advise the emergency service dispatcher of your intentions.

The dispatcher will give you further instructions on how to actually test the emergency

number.

¥ This equipment may not be used on coin service or party lines.

¥ This telephone provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.

¥ You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of a standard

modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.

Fax Theory

Thank you for your purchase of this multi-function fax machine. We want you to get

maximum use from your new equipment, therefore we would like to explain a little bit

about FAX machines and how they work. This will help when reading the rest of this

manual and becoming acquainted with FAX machines in general, plus all the features

available with your new machine.

Most people donÕt realize it, but the fax machine has been around in various forms since

the time of the invention of the telegraph in the mid-nineteenth century. Early fax

machines were large, slow, and difficult to operate. Equipment and techniques for

sending copies of documents across long distances have improved over the years, and

todayÕs fax machine is small, fast, and easy to operate.

A fax machine may appear complex, but in reality, modern fax machines are merely a

combination of several very familiar machines.

First of all, faxing makes use of processes very much like an office copier. When you

send a fax document to someone, the machine makes an internal copy of it (a facsimile,

hence the term ÒfaxÓ), and converts that copy to electronic signals which we call ÒdataÓ.

The data is then sent out over the telephone line as a series of audible tones. When you

receive a fax from someone else, the copy process simply converts these tones from the

telephone line back to data, and then to printed output.

Fax machines depend very much on telephone technology, since they must dial

telephone numbers, answer calls, and exchange fax data (their version of ÒspeechÓ) over

the phone line with other fax machines.

To send a fax document, you tell the fax machine the telephone number to call by

entering the number on a Touch-Tone keypad, just like a telephone. You may also store

frequently-called numbers in the machineÕs various memory locations. This makes

dialing faster, more accurate, and allows your machine to ÒrememberÓ telephone

numbers for performing many automatic functions.

1.7

After dialing the number, the fax machine you are calling answers the call and, just as

people do, the machines introduce themselves and make sure they have compatible

features and speak the same ÒlanguageÓ (fax engineers call this process ÒhandshakingÓ).

The machines also determine the quality of the sound over the telephone line and decide

whether they should continue, or perhaps ÒtalkÓ slower in the case of noise or low

volume. They may even refuse to speak to each other and will hang up, rather than

waste time when it is not possible to have a ÒconversationÓ (just like people!). In this

case, they often try the call again later, when the telephone connection may be better.

After a few seconds exchanging pleasantries (handshaking), the machines decide to get

down to the business of the call: sending and receiving a fax document.

A fax document is one or more sheets of paper which have been placed in the

transmitting (sending or TX) machine. As soon as the machines have finished with their

ÒintroductionsÓ, the document begins to move through the transmitting machine where

it is read and converted to a data signal, exactly as in a copier. The difference here is that

the print mechanism of the copying process is not located in the same machine as the

reading mechanism. It is several miles, or even several thousand miles, away, and prints

the data signals which arrive over the telephone line in the form of tones.

As far as it goes, this description of the fax process is accurate, and should be kept in

mind whenever using any fax machine.
