Brother FAX-150 - Manual (Page 10)

II. MULTI-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS
Most offices have key systems or PBXs. While in many cases it is relatively easy to connect the
FAX-150 to a key system or a PBX, we suggest that you contact the organization which
installed your company's telephone system and ask them to connect the FAX-150 to the
system. If the FAX-150 is connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the
FAX-150 to the last line on the system. This way, the FAX-150 will not be activated by every
phone call coming into your office. The preferred solution is to ask the phone company to
assign a separate line to the facsimile unit. In this case, you can leave the unit in Automatic
Answer Mode 24 hours a day and derive full benefits from its automatic, unattended operations
capabilities.
III. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The FAX-150 can be plugged into any standard power (110 VAC) outlet. Simply make sure
that the outlet is grounded and that it is not on the same line as appliances or office machines
which tend to draw a lot of power in a very short period of time, such as refrigerators, copiers,
etc. The FAX-150 power requirements are listed in the SPECIFICATIONS.
IV. INSERTING THE RECORDING PAPER ROLL INTO THE UNIT
Before reading the instructions for inserting the recording paper into the unit, please consider
these important notes:
NOTE 1: The recording paper is heat-sensitive. Avoid exposure to high temperature, high
humidity or direct sunlight. Keep the received documents (or copied documents) away from
high temperature, direct sunlight, high humidity, alcohol, blueprints. Otherwise the documents
may become discolored.
NOTE 2: The use of Brother Recording Paper is specifically recommended for this unit. The
use of paper not authorized by Brother may adversely affect the unit's performance and may
void Brother's product warranty.
Brother Recording paper has a red stripe indicator. Its appearance on your received or copied
documents is a warning that the paper roll will be running out shortly. Replace the paper roll
when you see the red stripe. Furthermore, Brother Recording paper has a black stripe at the
end of the roll. If you had not changed the paper at the appearance of the red stripe, the unit
will auto-matically stop when the black stripe appears. This feature works only with Brother
Recording paper on Brother facsimile units. Please note that Brother recording paper rolls are
overwound (i.e., contain extra paper) so that you are not wasting paper when you remove the
roll when the indicator appears.
To insert the paper roll, follow these directions:
1. Make sure that the POWER switch is OFF. The switch is located on the back of the unit.
2. Press the recording paper cover button which is located at the right edge of the top of
the machine. This opens the cover.
3. Hold the recording paper roll so that the free end of the paper points towards you from
the top of the roll.
Be sure not to set the recording paper upside-down. If this happens, you will not get
any images on reception or copying.
