Q: Where can I purchase an instruction manual for my fax unit? A: Call the Sharp Accessory and Supply Center at 1-800-642-2122. Q: My fax unit cannot receive an incoming fax when it is connected to an answering machine. How do I correct this? A: 1) Verify that the hookup is correct. The phone line of the fax machine should run directly from the RJ11c wall jack to the TEL LINE of the fax machine. The phone line accompanied with the answering machine should be plugged into the TEL SET position of the fax machine. 2) Make sure the reception mode is set to AUTO on the fax unit. 3) Program the fax unit to recognize your answering machine. To accomplish this, please follow the procedure listed below:
4) The next immediate setting of QUIET DETECT TIME will appear in the screen. The setting of 04 should be used. Q: I am able to send a fax, but unable to receive a fax, how do I correct this? A: Set the fax machine to AUTO reception. Next, you would want to set the proper settings in your Option Set List. To print a list press the FUNCTION key, the number 2 key, then press the # key until it reads OPTION SET LIST in the LCD screen and press the START key. This will print your list. The following settings should be seen:
Note: If all of the above is satisfactory, refer to #6. 6) Is the machine set to answer manually? (display will read "man") If so, how many telephone devices are attached to the phone line? Each telephone, answering machine, computer modem or cordless phone has a REN [Ringer Equivalency Number]. This number is normally found on the FCC tag and will appear such as REN = 0.7B. Do not worry about the "B". Most Local phone companies normally provide sufficient ringer power for a REN of 5. What this means is that when the RENs of each device are added together they must be 5 or less. If the numbers are greater than 5 the machine will likely not answer. Example below Telephone 1 REN = 1.2B Telephone 2 REN = 0.8B PC Modem REN = 0.4B Answering Machine REN = 1.1B Fax machine REN = 0.9B Total REN = 4.4 With this number all devices should work properly. * Settings are only pertinent if unit is hooked with an answering machine ** Distinctive ringing will only be needed if you subscribe to the service through your local telephone company. Otherwise, the setting should be off. To change any of these settings, follow these steps:

Q: Print quality is poor when I receive a fax, print a report or make a copy, what can I do? A: Your plain paper fax machine uses a thermal wax ribbon to print with. Like any other printer, paper is very important. For the best possible quality, Sharp recommends using laser quality paper in your fax machine. This paper is produced with a very smooth finish for laser printers and offers thermal wax printers the same quality level. Although copier paper will work, it sometimes tends to offer lighter print quality. You may purchase laser quality paper at any office supply retailer or dealer.
