Important safety information  
Be sure to save these instructions!  
When using your fascimile equipment, basic safety precautions  
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock  
and injury to persons, including the following:  
• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger  
telecommunication line cord.  
• Do not disassemble this machine or attempt any procedures not  
described in this manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service per-  
sonnel.  
• This machine must only be connected to a 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded (3-  
prong) outlet. Connecting it to any other kind of outlet will damage the  
machine and invalidate the warranty.  
• Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. For  
example, do not use the machine near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen  
sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool. Take  
care not to spill any liquids on the machine.  
3
• Use only the power cord provided with the facsimile machine.  
• Unplug the machine from the power outlet and telephone jack and con-  
sult a qualified service representative if any of the following situations  
occur:  
- Liquid has been spilled into the machine or the machine has been  
exposed to rain or water.  
- The machine produces odors, smoke, or unusual noises.  
- The power cord is frayed or damaged.  
- The machine has been dropped or the housing damaged.  
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not install the  
machine where people may walk on the power cord.  
• Never insert objects of any kind into slots or openings on the machine.  
This could create a risk of fire or electric shock. If an object falls into  
the machine that you cannot remove, unplug the machine and consult a  
qualified service representative.  
• Do not place this machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. The  
machine could be seriously damaged if it falls.  
• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electri-  
cal storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.  
• Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.  
• The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be  
easily accessible.  
Important:  
• This facsimile machine is not designed for use on a line which has call  
waiting, call forwarding, or certain other special services offered by  
your telephone company. If you attempt to use the fax machine in con-  
junction with any of these services, you may experience errors during  
transmission and reception of facsimile messages.  
• This facsimile machine is not compatible with digital telephone sys-  
tems.

Verification Stamp (option)  
Note: This function is available as an option. Consult your dealer if you  
wish to use it.  
When transmitting a document, you can have your fax stamp each  
document page as it is scanned. After scanning, you can check to see  
if all documents have been stamped to verify that no double feeds  
occurred. (A double feed is when two pages are fed through the  
scanner at once, which means that one of the pages is not scanned.)  
To use this function, have your dealer install the Verification Stamp  
option, and then set Option Setting 29 to ON as explained in Chapter  
6, Optional Settings.

Transmittable Documents  
Maximum scanning area  
The area of the document that the fax machine can scan is slightly  
smaller than the actual document size. Any letters or graphics outside  
this area will not be scanned.  
Maximum scanning width:  
Maximum scanning length:  
8.3 inches (210 mm)  
The length of the document minus  
0.16 inches (4 mm) from the top and  
bottom of the document.  
Other restrictions  
The scanner cannot recognize yellow, greenish yellow, or light blue  
ink.  
Ink, glue, and correcting fluid on documents must be dry before  
they pass through the document feeder.  
All clips, staples, and pins must be removed from documents before  
loading in the feeder. If these are not removed, they may damage  
the machine.  
Documents which are patched, taped, torn, smaller than the mini-  
mum size, carbon backed, or easily smudged should be photocop-  
ied, and the copy loaded in the feeder.  
35  
Loading the Document  
Loading the Document  
Up to 50 pages can be placed in the feeder at one time. The pages will  
automatically feed into the machine starting from the bottom page.  
If you need to send or copy more than 50 pages, place the additional  
pages gently and carefully in the feeder just before the last page is  
scanned. Do not try to force them in, as this may cause double-feed-  
ing or jamming.  
If your document consists of several large or thick pages which  
must be loaded one at a time, insert each page into the feeder as the  
previous page is being scanned. Insert gently to prevent double-  
feeding.  
1 Adjust the document guides to the  
width of your document.  
2 Place the document face down and  
push it gently into the document  
feeder. The top edge of the document  
should enter the machine first.  
The feeder will draw the leading  
edge of the document into the  
machine. SEND READY will  
appear in the display.  
3 Adjust the resolution and/or contrast  
settings (if desired) and then dial the  
receiving machine as explained in the  
following sections.  
36  
Adjusting the Resolution and Contrast  
Adjusting the Resolution and Contrast  
If desired, you can adjust the resolution and contrast before sending a  
document.  
Resolution  
The fax machine has four resolution settings:  
STANDARD  
Use STANDARD for ordinary documents.  
This setting gives you the fastest and most  
economical transmission.  
FINE  
Use FINE for documents containing small  
letters or fine drawings.  
SUPER FINE  
HALF TONE  
Use SUPER FINE for documents containing  
very small letters or very fine drawings.  
Use HALF TONE for photographs and  
illustrations. The original will be reproduced  
in 64 shades of gray.  
The default resolution setting is STANDARD. If you don’t adjust the  
resolution before sending a document, the fax machine will  
automatically use STANDARD resolution.  
In order to transmit in FINE or SUPER FINE resolution, the receiv-  
ing fax machine must also have that resolution. If it doesn’t, the  
next best available setting will be used.  
The resolution settings are only effective for transmitting and copy-  
ing a document. They are not effective for receiving a document.

Dual Access  
The fax machine features full dual access, which means that you can  
load a document and dial by automatic dialing even when the fax  
machine is occupied with another operation. After you dial, your  
document will be immediately scanned into memory and then  
transmitted once all previously set operations have been completed.  
If more than one document has been scanned into memory for

they were scanned. If you have an urgent transmission and do not  
want to wait until previously scanned documents are transmitted, you  
can press the PRIORITY key after loading your document. Your  
document will be transmitted immediately after the current document  
has completed transmission.  
If you don’t want the document to be transmitted from memory, you  
can press the DOCUMENT key after loading the document. In this  
case, the document will not be scanned until all previously set  
operations are completed and the connection to the receiving party is

Your fax has 10 "mailboxes" in which confidential documents can be  
received. Each mailbox has its own passcode, allowing up to 10  
different people or groups to each receive their own confidential  
documents. The mailboxes are identified by 2-digit numbers.  
Programming the confidential passcode  
.
To receive a confidential document, you must first program a 2-digit  
mailbox number and a 4-digit passcode.  
Note: Be sure to inform the transmitting party of your 2-digit mailbox  
number in advance. The transmitting party will need this number to send  
you confidential faxes.

Relay Request  
Relay Request  
Relay Request allows you to send a document to another fax machine  
and have that fax machine in turn broadcast the document to a group  
of other fax machines. This function is useful when the relay fax  
machine is closer to the end fax machines than your fax machine, as it  
reduces telephone line costs.  
Important:  
Relay Request can only be used if the intermediate relay machine is a  
Sharp machine having the Relay Broadcast function.  
Storing a relay group  
To make a relay request, you must first store a relay group. This consists  
of the fax number of the intermediate relay machine and the fax numbers  
of the end receiving machines. Up to 10 different relay groups can be  
stored.  
Fax numbers of the end receiving machines can be entered as Rapid  
Key numbers, Speed Dial numbers, and/or Group Key numbers if  
they have been programmed as such in the relay machine (not in  
your fax machine). Check with the operator of the relay machine for  
these numbers.  
The total number of end receiving machines which can be entered  
varies with the model used as the intermediate relay machine.  
Check with the operator of the relay machine to find out how many  
receiving machines can be entered.  
A maximum of 400 digit spaces are available in your fax machine’s  
memory for storing the numbers of end receiving machines. The  
number of spaces occupied by each number depends on what kind  
of number it is:

If another FO-4700/5550/5700 is to be the relay machine, only  
Speed Dial numbers of end receiving machines from "00" to "99"  
can be entered in the relay group. To allow Speed Dial numbers  
above "99" to be included in the relay group, store them in a Group  
Key on the FO-4700/5550/5700.

Relay Broadcast  
The FO-5700 can also act as a relay station. It will receive a document  
from a fax machine requesting a relay transmission, and automatically  
broadcast it to the stations that the requesting machine specifies.  
To enable a fax machine to request a relay transmission, you must first  
enter its fax number in the Relay Passcode List. Follow the steps  
below to enter or clear a fax number.  
When your fax receives a relay request from another fax machine,  
RCVD RELAY REQUEST will appear in the display.  
If the telephone billing function is turned on, the fax machine can-  
not act as a relay station.  
To clear a fax number from the Relay Passcode List, you need to  
know the 2-digit number which identifies it. You can check this  
number by printing out the Passcode List (see Chapter 7).

Polling  
Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a  
document 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 fax machine to both poll  
and be polled by others.  
Polling others  
To poll another fax machine, follow the steps below.  
If desired, you can dial more than one fax number to receive docu-  
ments consecutively from a group of fax machines (this is called  
"Serial Polling").

Serial Polling using a Group Key  
If the fax machines you want to poll have all been programmed into  
one Group Key, you can poll them by simply pressing that Group Key.  
(The procedure for programming Group Keys is explained in  
Broadcasting in this chapter.)  
Make sure no documents are in the feeder before you press the  
Group Key.  
Being polled (Memory polling)  
To let another fax machine poll your fax machine, you must first store  
the document in memory using the following procedure. Transmission  
will take place when the other fax machine calls your fax machine and  
activates polling. You can choose whether to allow polling only once,  
or an unlimited number of times. In the latter case, your fax machine  
can be used as an electronic "bulletin board".  
Only one document can be stored at a time for memory polling. If  
needed, you can add pages to a document already stored by simply  
repeating the storing procedure (note that if Department Control is  
activated, pages cannot be added by a department other than that  
which orginally stored the document).  
If you allow polling only once, the document will be automatically  
cleared from memory after polling. If you allow polling an unlim-  
ited number of times, the document will remain in memory until  
you clear it as explained in the following section, Clearing a docu-  
ment.

Polling Security  
Polling Security allows you to prevent unauthorized polling of your  
fax. When this function is activated, polling will only take place when  
one of the following conditions is met:  
The fax number of the polling fax machine has been stored in your  
fax’s list of permitted fax numbers (called "passcode numbers").  
The polling fax must also have its fax number programmed in itself,  
as described in Entering Your Name and Fax Number in Chapter 1.  
A System number has been programmed in the polling fax machine  
which matches your fax’s System number or one of your ID num-  
bers.  
An ID number has been programmed in the polling fax machine  
which matches your fax’s System number.  
90  
Polling  
System and ID numbers are 4-digit numbers which provide you with  
an alternate means of giving and receiving polling permission when  
you don’t want to use fax numbers. The steps for programming these  
numbers are described in the following pages.  
Note: System and ID numbers can only be used if the other fax machine  
is also a Sharp machine.

Batch Transmission  
Batch Transmission  
Batch transmission allows you to store a number of documents in  
memory for automatic transmission to one location at a set time. If  
you often send documents to a particular location, this function helps  
reduce telephone line costs by allowing you to conveniently send  
multiple documents on one connection.  
Note: If the telephone billing function is turned on, the batch transmis-  
sion function cannot be used.  
Programming a Batch Key  
To perform a batch transmission, you must first program the number  
of the receiving machine and the time of transmission into a Batch  
Key. Any Rapid Key which has not already been programmed can be  
used as a Batch Key.  
If you specify a day-of-the-week in your program, the transmission  
will be performed every week on that day. If you do not specify a day-  
of-the-week, the transmission will be performed every day.  
To program a Batch Key, follow the procedure for entering programs  
explained in Entering and Using Programs in this chapter. In Step 10  
of the initial prodedure, select “Batch transmission”.  
Clearing a Batch Key  
To clear a Batch Key, follow the procedure explained in Clearing a  
Program Key in Entering and Using Programs in this chapter.  
Storing documents for transmission  
Up to 56 jobs (a job can consist of multiple pages) can be held in  
memory for batch transmissions at any one time, regardless of the  
number of Batch Keys used. When you store a document, it is given a  
message number to distinguish it from other documents sent in the  
same batch.  
112  
Batch Transmission  
If no documents have been stored under a Batch Key when the time  
for transmission arrives, transmission will not take place.

Duplex Scanning for Two-sided Documents  
To transmit or copy documents which have printing or graphics on  
both sides of the page or pages, use Duplex Scanning. With this  
function, you simply feed the document (all pages) through the  
machine once, turn the stack of pages over, and feed it through again.  
The machine will automatically sort the pages into the correct order  
(front of 1st page, back of 1st page, front of 2nd page, back of 2nd  
page, etc.).  
Duplex Scanning can be used for copying (single copies and sorted  
multiple copies only) and any type of transmission from memory.  
Note that any blank sides must be included when scanning the  
pages (if the number of pages is not equal each time the machine  
scans the stack, an error will result). The blank sides will not, how-  
ever, be printed out.

Telephone Billing  
Telephone Billing  
If you are on a PBX, you can have the fax machine send a code to the  
PBX that identifies the sender for billing purposes each time a fax is  
sent. Telephone billing is possible in two ways: using Department  
Control and by direct billing code entry.  
Using Department Control  
If you are using the Department Control function, you can use  
Department Codes for telephone billing. In this case, the fax machine  
will automatically send the Department Code that a department  
member enters to access the fax machine to the PBX. The PBX can  
then use the Department Code to bill the call to that department.  
To use Department Control for telephone billing, program a  
Department Code for each group that will use the fax machine (see  
Department Control in this chapter), and then have your dealer  
activate Department Control. After this, set Option Setting 26  
(Telephone Billing Code) to ON as explained in Chapter 6, Optional  
Settings.  
Direct billing code entry  
If you don’t want to use Department Control for telephone billing, you  
can have users enter an assigned billing code (any number up 9 digits  
long) each time they use the fax machine. The fax machine will  
automatically send this code to the PBX for billing purposes. To use  
this function, have your dealer activate the function and then set  
Option Setting 26 (Telephone Billing Code) to ON as explained in  
Chapter 6, Optional Settings.  
Note: The billing code should be assigned by your PBX administrator.  
Billing codes are not programmed into the fax machine.  
Users should enter their billing code as follows when performing an  
operation on the fax machine. The code need only be entered when  
calling outside of the PBX.

Distinctive Ring  
Distinctive Ring  
Important:  
To use distinctive ring, you must subscribe to a distinctive ring ser-  
vice from your local phone company.  
Your fax machine may not be compatible with some distinctive ring  
services.  
Distinctive ring is a service offered by some local telephone  
companies whereby they assign an additional second number to your  
regular single line. The second number rings differently from your  
normal number.  
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service, you can set the fax  
machine to automatically answer when your second number is called.  
This allows you to use the second number as an exclusive fax number.  
To have your fax automatically answer when your second number is  
called, follow the steps below:

Toner is a fine, black powder possessing no immediate hazard. There are no anticipated carcinogenic effects  
from exposure based on animal tests performed using toner. When used as intended according to instructions,  
studies do not indicate any symptoms of fibrosis will occur.

Carcinogenicity  
:
In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a G roup 2B carcinogen (possible human carcinogen).  
This classification is given to chem icals for which there is inadequate hum anevidence, but sufficient ani-  
mal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. Theclassification is based upon the devel-  
opment of lung tum ors in rats receiving chronic inhalationexposures to free carbon black at levels that  
induce particle overload of the lung. Studiesperform ed in anim al m odels other than rats did not show  
any association between carbon black and lung tum ors. M oreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using a  
typical toner preparation containing carbon black dem onstrated no association between toner exposure  
and tum or developm ent in rats.  
Chronic Effect  
:
Prolonged inhalation of excessive dust m ay cause lung damage. It is attributed to “lung overloading”, a  
generic response to excessive am ounts of any dust retained in the lungs for a prolonged interval. Use of  
this product as intended does result in inhalation of excessive dust. In a study in rats by chronic inhala-  
tion exposure to a typical toner, a m ild to moderate degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of rats  
3
in the high concentration (16m g/m  
)
exposure group, and a minimal to m ild degree of fibrosis was  
3
noted in 22% of the anim als in the m iddle (4m g/m ) exposure group. But no pulm onary change was  
reported in the lowest (1m g/m ) exposure group, the m ost relevant level to potential hum an exposures.
