TO USERS OF THE MX-M350U/MX-M450U/  
MX-M350N/MX-M450N  
Thank you for purchasing an AR-FX12 Facsimile Expansion Kit. The Operation manual (for facsimile) that is  
included in the kit explains the procedures for using the fax function on AR-models, and thus some sections do not  
apply to the MX-M350U/M450U/M350N/M450N. This guide explains those sections, and should be used together  
with the Operation manual (for facsimile).  
1. OPERATION PANEL  
The operation panel of the MX-M350U/M450U/M350N/M450N is different from the panel described in the Operation  
manual (for facsimile). When reading explanations that use an illustration of the operation panel, refer to the  
illustration below. For the names and functions of the keys, see "A LOOK AT THE OPERATION PANEL" in the  
Operation manual (for facsimile) (page 1-3). (The numbers in the illustration correspond to the explanations.)

CONVENIENT DIALING METHODS  
The fax function includes a convenient auto dial feature (one-touch dialing and group dialing). By programming  
frequently dialed numbers, you can call and send documents to these locations by means of a simple dialing  
operation (refer to page 2-4). There are two types of auto-dialing: one-touch dialing and group dialing. To program  
auto-dial numbers, refer to pages 6-3, 6-6.  
One-touch dialing

Programmed one-touch keys and group dial keys are stored on "index cards". A one-touch key or group key can  
be easily accessed by touching the index key. (Refer to on page 1-5.)  
To prevent calling or sending a fax to a wrong number, look carefully at the touch panel and make sure you  
program the correct number when programming an auto-dial number. After storing a number, you can also print  
out the stored number (Refer to page 6-16) to make sure it was stored correctly.

SENDING A FAX  
Quick On-line  
When you use the automatic document feeder to send a multi-page document and there are no previously stored  
jobs waiting or in progress (and the line is not being used), the machine dials the destination after the first page  
is scanned and begins transmitting scanned pages while the remaining pages are being scanned. This  
transmission method is called Quick On-line. The messages "SCANNING ORIGINAL." and "SENDING." both  
appear until scanning of the final page is completed.  
If the receiving party is busy, the transmission will switch to a memory transmission. (Refer to the following  
section, "Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)".)  
NOTES  
The machine is initially set (factory setting) to perform Quick On-line transmission. If desired, you can turn off this  
function with the key operator program (See "Quick on line sending" on page 8-8).  
When a document is transmitted using the following methods, the job will be stored in memory (Quick On-line  
transmission will not be performed):  
Sending from the document glass  
Broadcast transmission (page 3-2)  
Timer transmission (page 3-6)  
2 in 1 (page 3-7)  
Card shot (page 3-8)  
Job build (page 3-10)  
F-code transmission (Chapter 4)  
Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)  
When a document is sent from the document glass, or when the telephone line is in use, the document is scanned  
into memory and then automatically transmitted after previously stored transmission jobs are completed. This  
means that transmission jobs can be stored in memory by performing a transmission operation while the machine  
is occupied with another transmission/reception operation. This is called memory transmission, and up to 97  
(maximum of 50 on the AR-M351U/AR-M451U) jobs can be stored in memory at once, including the job currently  
being executed. After transmission, the scanned document data is cleared from memory. (However, when the  
document filing function is used, the scanned document image is stored in the machine's hard disk. For  
information on managing stored images, see "Document filing function"* in chapter 7 of the "Operation manual  
(for general information and copier operation)".)  
* Can only be used on the AR-M351N/AR-M451N, or when the document filing function has been added.  
NOTES  
You can check transmission jobs stored in memory in the job status screen. (Refer to page 1-15 of "Operation  
manual (for general information and copier operation)".)  
If the memory becomes full while a document is being scanned, a message will appear in the display. You can  
cancel the transmission by touching the [CANCEL] key, or send only the pages already scanned by touching the  
[SEND] key. The page that was being scanned when the memory became full will be cleared from memory. If the  
memory becomes full while scanning the first page of a document, the transmission job is automatically  
cancelled.  
The number of jobs that can be stored will depend on the number of pages in each job and the transmission  
conditions. The number of storable jobs will increase if the optional expansion memory (AR-MM9) is installed.  
If the receiving party is busy  
If the receiving party is busy, the transmission is temporarily cancelled and then automatically re-attempted after  
a brief interval (two attempts are made at an interval of 3 minutes*). If you do not want the machine to re-attempt  
the transmission, cancel the job in the job status screen. (See following page.)  
*This setting can be changed with the key operator program (See "Recall in case of line busy" on page 8-8.).  
If a transmission error occurs  
If an error occurs that prevents transmission or the receiving machine does not answer the call within 45  
seconds*, then transmission is stopped and then automatically re-attempted later. (one recall attempt is made  
at an interval of 3 minutes*) Automatic recalling can be stopped by pressing the [JOB STATUS] key and  
cancelling as explained on the following page. This machine also supports error correction mode (ECM) and is  
set to resend any part of a fax that is distorted due to noise on the line. (See "ECM" on page 8-7)  
* The settings can be changed in the key operator programs. (See "Call timer at memory sending" and "Recall  
Image rotation  
The machine is initially set to rotate a vertically-placed ( )document 90° so that it is oriented horizontally(  
)
before transmission (A4 (8-1/2"x11") originals are rotated to A4R (8-1/2"x11"R) and B5R or A5R (5-1/2"x8-1/2"R)  
originals are rotated to B5 or A5 (5-1/2"x8-1/2")). A4R (8-1/2"x11"R) originals and B5 or A5 (5-1/2"x8-1/2")  
originals are not rotated. If desired, you can turn this function off with the key operator program as explained in  
"Rotation sending setting." on page 8-7.  
NOTE  
Place A5 (5-1/2"x8-1/2") size originals so that they are oriented vertically ( ). If oriented horizontally ( A5R  
(5-1/2"x8-1/2"R) orientation), the original size will be detected as A4 (8-1/2"x11") size on the document glass, or  
A5R (5-1/2"x8-1/2"R) size in the automatic document feeder, and thus the original size must be set manually by  
touching the [ORIGINAL] key and then the [A5R] ([5-1/2"x8-1/2"R]) key. (See "MANUALLY SETTING THE

PRIORITY TRANSMISSION OF A STORED JOB  
If you have an urgent transmission job and multiple transmission jobs have already been stored, you can give priority  
to the urgent job so that it will be transmitted immediately after the job currently being executed. This is done from the  
job status screen. For details on using the job status screen, refer to page 1-15 of "Operation manual (for general

RECEIVING FAXES  
When another fax machine sends a fax to your machine, your machine will ring*, automatically receive the fax, and  
begin printing (this is called automatic reception).  
NOTES  
You can store a transmission job while fax reception is in progress. (See "Storing transmission jobs (memory  
To receive faxes, sufficient paper must be loaded in the paper tray. Refer to pages 2-2 to 2-11 of "Operation manual (for  
general information and copier operation)" to load appropriate paper. Incoming faxes will be automatically adjusted to the  
orientation of the printing paper, so there is no need to load both horizontally ( ) and vertically ( ) oriented paper.  
However, if you receive a fax that is smaller than A4 or B5 (8-1/2"x11") size, the paper size used to print the fax will depend  
on how the original was oriented (vertically or horizontally) in the sending fax machine.  
RECEIVING A FAX  
The machine will ring* and reception will

automatically begin.  
When reception ends,  
the machine makes a  
"beep" sound.  
The received fax is  
delivered to the top tray.  
*Number of rings  
The machine has been set to ring twice before beginning  
automatic reception. You can use the key operator  
program to change the number of rings to any number  
from 0 to 15. (See "Number of calls in auto reception" on  
page 8-9.)  
NOTE  
If the number of rings is set to 0, the machine will receive  
faxes without ringing.  
If the machine has multiple output trays, the key  
operator program can be used to change the output  
tray for fax reception. (See "Fax output tray setting"  
If received data cannot be printed  
If the machine is out of paper or toner, or if a paper jam occurs or the machine is  
busy printing a copy or print job, received faxes will be stored in memory until  
printing is possible. When printing is possible, the faxes will print automatically  
(however, if the machine has run out of paper, touch the [OK] key in the touch  
panel after adding paper). When a received fax is stored in memory, the "DATA"  
light to the right of the [IMAGE SEND] key will blink.  
You can also use the transfer function to have another fax machine print the  
received data (See "USING THE TRANSFER FUNCTION" on page 3-18.).

SENDING THE SAME DOCUMENT TO MULTIPLE  
DESTINATIONS IN A SINGLE OPERATION  
(BROADCAST TRANSMISSION)  
This feature is used to send a document to multiple destinations in a single operation. The document to be  
transmitted is scanned into memory and then successively transmitted to the selected destinations. This feature is  
convenient for such purposes as distributing a report to company branches in different locations. Up to 500  
(maximum of 300 on the AR-M351U/AR-M451U when a hard disk is not installed) destinations can be selected.  
NOTES  
If you frequently use broadcasting to send documents to the same group of destinations, it is convenient to  
program those destinations into a group key. A group key is a one-touch key in which multiple destinations are  
programmed. The procedure for programming group keys is explained on page 6-6.  
When using a group key to send a fax, the destinations programmed in the group key are counted as  
broadcasting destinations. For example, if five destinations are programmed in a group key and the key is  
touched for a broadcast transmission, the broadcast transmission will have five destinations.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AT A  
SPECIFIED TIME (TIMER TRANSMISSION)  
This feature enables you to set up a transmission or polling operation to be performed automatically at a specified  
time up to a week in advance. This allows you to take advantage of off-peak phone rates without having to be there  
when the transmission is performed. A combined total of 97 (maximum of 50 on the AR-M351U/AR-M451U) timer  
transmission and memory transmission jobs can be stored.  
NOTES  
To perform a timer transmission, the document must be scanned into memory. It is not possible to leave the  
document in the auto document feeder or on the document glass and have it scanned at the specified time of  
transmission.  
To set the date and time in the machine, refer to page 2-12 of "Operation manual (for general information and  
copier operation))". You can check the machine's currently set time in the screen of steps 3 and 4 below.  
Only one polling timer operation can be set up at a time. If you wish to set up multiple timer polling operations,  
combine the machines to be polled into a serial polling operation with a timer setting. (Refer to 3-13.)  
After a timer transmission is performed, the information (image, destination, etc.) is automatically cleared from  
memory. (However, when the document filing function* is used, the scanned document image is stored in the  
machine's hard disk. For information on managing stored images, see "Document filing function" in chapter 7 of  
the "Operation manual (for general information and copier operation)".)  
* Can only be used on the AR-M351N/AR-M451N when a hard disk is not installed.

TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION  
USING THE POLLING FUNCTION  
This function can only be used if the other machine is a Super G3 or G3 machine and supports the polling function.  
The polling function allows your machine to call a fax machine that has document data set and initiate reception of  
the document. You can also perform the reverse operation: scan a document into the memory of your machine so  
that another machine can call your machine and initiate reception of the document.  
This function whereby your machine calls the sending machine and asks the sending machine to begin transmission  
of a loaded document is called the polling function. Scanning a document into memory and automatically sending it  
when the receiving machine calls and "polls" your machine is called polling memory.  
NOTE  
For information on polling and polling memory using F-codes, refer to page 4-4. This section only explains normal  
polling and normal polling memory.  
Polling  
This function allows your machine to call a sending machine and initiate reception of a document loaded in that machine.

USING POLLING MEMORY  
This function sends a document previously scanned into memory to a receiving machine when the receiving machine calls  
and polls your machine. (If desired, you can restrict polling to fax machines whose fax number you have programmed in your  
machine. (See "Polling security setting" on page 8-10.) This machine has "memory box", which is memory used for such  
functions as the normal polling memory function, F-code polling memory, F-code confidential transmission, and F-code relay  
transmission (refer to page 4-2). The polling memory function explained here uses a memory box called the "PUBLIC BOX".

PROGRAMMING FREQUENTLY USED OPERATIONS  
This function allows you to store the steps of an operation, including the destination and scanning settings, into a  
program. This function is convenient when you frequently send documents, such as a daily report, to the same  
destination. Up to eight programs can be stored.  
Programs can be stored using the custom settings, and a name up to 18 characters long can be assigned.  
For information on storing, editing, and deleting programs, refer to "storing a program", and "Editing and  
deleting programs" on page 6-8.  
The following settings can be stored in a program:  
Destination fax number  
Polling  
Erase  
Dual Page Scan  
2in1  
Card shot  
Resolution and exposure  
Auto-dial keys (one-touch key, group key or speed dial key) are used to store the destination fax number. A full  
number cannot be entered. When storing a broadcast transmission or serial polling operation in a program, up to 500  
(maximum of 300 on the AR-M351U/AR-M451U when a hard disk is not installed) destination fax numbers can be  
stored.  
NOTES  
A program differs from a timer transmission (page 3-6) in that it is not cleared from memory after transmission  
takes place. A program thus allows you to repeatedly perform the same type of transmission. Note, however,  
that programs do not allow you to establish a timer setting for transmission.

TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES  
This chapter explains F-code transmission, which gives you a convenient means  
of performing advanced operations such as relay broadcast transmission and  
confidential transmission. Normally these functions require that the other fax  
machine be a similar Sharp machine; however, F-code transmission enables  
these functions to be performed with any other machine that supports F-code  
transmission. Please read those sections which are of interest to you.

TRANSMISSION BETWEEN MACHINES  
SUPPORTING F-CODES  
This machine supports the "F-code" standard as established by the ITU-T*.  
Operations such as relay broadcast transmission and confidential transmission previously could only be performed with  
another Sharp fax machine; however, F-Code communication makes it possible to perform these operations with fax  
machines of other manufacturers that support F-Code communication.  
Before using the functions explained in this chapter, make sure that the other fax machine supports F-Code communication  
and has the same functions as your machine. (the other machine may use a different name for the function).  
* The ITU-T is a United Nations organization that establishes communications standards. It is a department of the International  
Telecommunication Union (ITU), which coordinates global telecommunications networks and services.  
MEMORY BOXES AND SUB-ADDRESSES/PASSCODES  
REQUIRED FOR F-CODE TRANSMISSION  
"Memory boxes" can be created in the memory of fax machines that support F-Code communication. These boxes are  
used to store faxes received from other machines and documents to be transmitted when a polling request is received.  
Fax machines that support F-code transmission enable the creation of a "memory box" in the unit's memory. The  
memory box is used to store documents received from another fax machine or documents to be sent when another  
machine polls that machine. Up to 100 memory boxes can be created for a variety of purposes, and a name can be  
assigned to each box. A "sub-address" that indicates the box's location in memory must be programmed, and if  
desired, a passcode can also be programmed to control access to the box.

Public Box*  
*The Public Box is used for normal serial polling (See "USING POLLING MEMORY" on page 3-15).  
When communication occurs involving a memory box, the communication will only take place if the sub-address and  
passcode that the other machine sends match the sub-address and passcode programmed in your machine for that  
box. Therefore, to allow communication, you must inform the other party of the sub-address and passcode of the  
memory box. Likewise, to send a document to a memory box in another machine or use polling to retrieve a  
document from that memory box, you must know the sub-address and passcode of that memory box. (Box names  
are used only to manage boxes in the machine; you do not need to inform the other party of a box name the other  
party only needs to know the sub-address and passcode.)  
This machine uses the term "sub-address" for the location of the memory box and the term "passcode" for the  
password that allows communication; however, other fax machines of other manufacturers may use different terms.  
When asking the other party for a sub-address and passcode, you may find it useful to refer to the 3-character  
alphabetical terminology used by the ITU-T.

Manual transmission (on-hook dialing or lifting an extension phone connected to the machine) using a sub-  
address and passcode is not possible.  
CREATING A MEMORY BOX FOR F-CODE TRANSMISSION  
Operations that use F-Code memory boxes include F-Code polling memory (following page), F-Code confidential  
transmission (page 4-6), and F-Code relay broadcast transmission (page 4-8). To perform these operations, a  
memory box for each type of transmission must be created.  
Memory boxes are created in the custom settings. Up to 100 boxes can be created.  
The information programmed in each memory box varies slightly depending on the type of  
operation. Refer to pages 6-11 to 6-16 for the procedures for creating, editing, and deleting memory  
boxes.  
After you have programmed a memory box, inform the other party of the box's sub-address and passcode.  
NOTE  
If you attempt to create a box when 100 boxes have already been created, a message will appear and you will not  
be able to create the box. First delete an unused box (See "EDITING AND DELETING A MEMORY BOX" on page  
6-16.), and then create the new box.

F-CODE POLLING MEMORY  
F-code polling memory allows one fax machine to call another fax machine and activate reception of a document  
that has been scanned into the other machine's F-code polling memory box. Calling another machine and  
activating reception is called F-code polling, and scanning a document into a memory box for another machine to  
retrieve by polling is called F-code polling memory. This function is approximately the same as normal polling  
explained on page 3-13; however, it uses an F-code polling memory box and is always protected by means of the  
sub-address and passcode.

F-code polling is when your machine calls another machine and retrieves a document that was scanned into the  
polling memory box of that machine (the reverse of the above diagram).  
NOTES  
To perform polling or polling memory without using an F-code, refer to page 3-13.  
To create an F-code memory box for polling memory, refer to page 6-11 and "Number of transmissions" on page 6-13.  
Unlike normal polling, the other machine's fax number is not programmed as a passcode for F-code polling  
memory. The sub-address and passcode of the polling memory box are always used for polling security.  
The receiving machine bears the expense (phone charges) of the transmission.  
USING F-CODE POLLING MEMORY

F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL TRANSMISSION  
F-Code confidential transmission provides a secure means of faxing confidential documents. The sub-address and  
passcode programmed in the memory box restrict the recipients of the fax, and once received in the memory box,  
the fax can only be printed by someone who knows the print passcode (PRINT PIN. see page 6-14).  
This function is convenient when sending important documents that you only want a specific person to see, or when  
multiple departments share a single fax machine.

memory box is called F-code confidential transmission.  
NOTES  
This machine does not support Sharp's previous confidential transmission function, which uses the programmed  
sender's fax number and ID code.

passcode, consult your dealer.  
F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL TRANSMISSION  
F-code confidential transmission is performed in the same way as a normal transmission (refer to chapter 2);  
however, you must enter the sub-address (SUB) and passcode (SID) after the fax number of the other machine.  
(Omit the passcode if the other machine does not use a passcode.)  
For the procedure for entering sub-addresses and passcodes, see "ENTERING (DIALING) A FAX NUMBER WITH  
F-code confidential reception is performed in the same way as normal reception (see chapter 2); however, you must  
inform the other party of the sub-address (SUB) and passcode (SID) of your confidential memory box. (If a passcode  
is not programmed in the confidential memory box, only inform the other party of the sub-address (SUB).)  
NOTE  
An F-code confidential transmission can be used in combination with the broadcast transmission function (page 3-  
2) or timer transmission function (page 3-6), and can be stored in a program (page 6-8).

F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL TRANSMISSION  
PRINTING A DOCUMENT RECEIVED TO AN F-CODE  
CONFIDENTIAL MEMORY BOX  
Faxes received in an F-Code confidential memory box are printed out by entering the PRINT PIN 4-digit passcode  
(0000 to 9999) that was programmed when the box was created. Printing of the confidential faxes takes precedence  
over any other stored jobs.  
NOTES  
You can have a transaction report printed each time a fax is received in an F-Code confidential box to inform you  
of the reception. This setting is enabled in the key operator programs (see "Transaction report print select  
setting" on page 8-6).  
Document data received to an F-code confidential memory box is automatically cleared after printing.  
When a new fax is received to an F-code confidential box while a previously received fax is still stored in the box,  
the new fax is added on after the previous fax.

F-CODE RELAY BROADCAST TRANSMISSION  
The F-Code relay broadcast function allows the machine to act as a relay machine for a broadcast transmission. The  
end receiving machines are stored in the machine's F-Code relay memory box, and when the machine receives a  
relay request from another F-Code machine, it will relay the fax to all of the stored end receiving machines.  
The relay machine and the originating machine that requests the relay transmission must both support F-codes;  
however, the end receiving machines programmed in the F-code relay broadcast memory box do not need to support  
F-codes.

4) Document is successively transmitted  
to end receiving machines programmed  
in the relay broadcast memory box.  
Receiving machine A  
Receiving machine B  
Receiving machine C  
The machine that originally sends the document is called the relay request machine, and the machine that has  
a memory box containing the end receiving machines and which relays the received document to those  
machines is called the relay machine.  
The relay machine also prints the document sent by the relay request machine.  
For example, corporate headquarters in Seattle wants to send the same document to branch offices in San  
Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and San Jose. If the San Francisco office creates a relay broadcast memory box  
and programs the Oakland, Berkeley, and San Jose offices as end receiving destinations, the overall phone  
charges will be lower than if the Seattle office uses the normal broadcast transmission function (page 3-2). This  
function can also be combined with a timer setting (page 3-6) to take advantage of off-peak rates, allowing a further  
reduction in phone charges.  
Transmission by the relay machine is called "F-code relay broadcast transmission", and transmission from the  
relay request machine to the relay machine is called "relay request transmission".  
NOTES  
This machine does not support Sharp's previous relay broadcast function, which uses the programmed sender's  
number and relay ID code.  
To create an F-code relay broadcast memory box and program, edit, and delete end receiving machines, refer  
to pages 6-11 to 6-16. When creating a box, a passcode (SID) can be omitted.  
The relay request machine only bears the expense of sending the document to the relay machine. The relay  
machine bears the expense of sending the document to each of the end receiving machines.  
4-8  
   
F-CODE RELAY BROADCAST TRANSMISSION  
USING THE F-CODE RELAY BROADCAST FUNCTION  
(your machine is the relay machine)  
When a document is received from a relay request machine, the F-code relay broadcast function transmits the  
document to the end receiving machines using a memory box only if the sub-address and passcode sent by the  
relay request machine are correct.  
Refer to pages 6-11 through 6-16 for the procedures for creating, editing, and deleting memory boxes.  
Up to 30 end receiving machines (30 one-touch keys or group keys) can be programmed in the F-code relay  
broadcast memory box.  
A document received from a relay request machine is initially stored in the memory box of your machine. Your  
machine (the relay machine) also prints the document, thus the document is first stored as a print job and then as  
transmission jobs to each of the programmed end receiving machines. The document data is automatically cleared  
after transmission to all end receiving machines is completed.  
USING THE F-CODE RELAY REQUEST FUNCTION  
(your machine requests a relay broadcast)  
Ask the operator of the other F-Code machine (the relay machine) to create an F-Code relay broadcast memory  
box that contains the end receiving machines to which you wish to send a fax, and ask for the sub-address (SUB)  
and passcode (SID) of that box.  
When you dial the relay machine to send the fax, enter the sub-address and passcode after the fax number. The  
fax will be sent to the relay machine's memory box, and the relay machine will call each of the programmed end  
receiving machines and relay the fax to those machines. (If a passcode (SID) is not programmed in the memory  
box , enter only the password when dialing.)

USING AN EXTENSION PHONE  
You can connect a telephone to the machine and use it as an extension phone to place and receive calls like any  
normal phone. You can also activate fax reception from the phone (remote operation).  
NOTE  
If you connect a combination telephone/answering machine to the machine, you will not be able to use the  
answering machine function.  
USING AN EXTENSION PHONE TO RECEIVE A FAX  
The machine normally receives faxes automatically after ringing (page 2-10); however, when an extension phone is  
connected, you can set the reception mode to "MANUAL RECEPTION". This will allow you to talk to the other party  
first and then receive a fax.  
This is convenient when you only have one telephone line and receive more voice calls than faxes. You must answer  
all calls on the extension phone, and activate fax reception after you verify that a call is a fax transmission.  
NOTES  
The reception mode is initially set to "AUTO RECEPTION". If you have not connected an extension phone, keep  
the reception mode set to "AUTO RECEPTION".  
If you hear beeps during reception or at the end of reception and an error message appears in the display, refer  
to page 7-3.

following procedure with the extension phone still lifted. ("Remote reception" is only possible when the call is  
made by the other party.)  
NOTE  
The following procedure is not possible if you are on a pulse dial line and your extension phone cannot produce  
tone signals. To find out whether your extension phone can produce tone signals, refer to the manual for your

PROGRAMMING, EDITING, AND  
DELETING F-CODE MEMORY BOXES  
The procedure for programming a memory box for F-code transmission is explained here. There are three types of  
F-code memory boxes: F-code polling memory (page 4-4), F-code confidential transmission (page 4-6), and F-code  
relay broadcast (page 4-8). Memory boxes are programmed, edited, and deleted as follows.  
PROGRAMMING AN F-CODE MEMORY BOX  
A box name, sub-address/passcode, and function must be programmed in a memory box.  
NOTES  
When programming a new memory box, a sub-address that is being used for another box cannot be used. The  
passcode, however, can be the same as a passcode used in another box.  
A passcode can be omitted.  
Up to 100 F-code memory boxes can be programmed. If 100 F-code memory boxes have already been  
programmed, a warning message will appear and you will not be able to program a new box. First delete an  
unused F-code memory box (page 6-13) and then program the new box.

WHEN A TRANSACTION REPORT IS PRINTED  
The machine has been set to automatically print a Transaction Report when a transmission is not successful or when  
the Broadcast transmission function is used. The Transaction Report informs you of the result of the operation. When  
the machine prints a Transaction Report, be sure to check the contents.  
The initial settings (factory settings) for printing Transaction Reports are indicated by shading  
below. You can  
use the key operator program to change the settings (See "Transaction report print select setting" on page 8-6).  
Single sending: Print out all report / Print out error report only / No printed report  
Broadcasting: Print out all report / Print out error report only / No printed report  
Receiving: Print out all report / Print out error report only / No printed report  
Confidential reception: Print out notice page / Not print out notice page  
Regardless of this setting, at the time of transmission you can use "Transaction report" in the special modes to  
change the condition for printing (or select no printing) for that transmission (page 3-12).  
The Transaction Report shows the date of transmission, the time transmission began, the other party's name, the  
duration of the operation, the number of pages, and the result.  
NOTES  
The list count appears in the "#" column of the Transaction Report and a serial number appears in the FILE  
column. (These numbers are not related to the transaction.)  
If desired, you can have part of the document printed on the transaction report. This setting is enabled in the key  
operator programs. ( See "Original print on transaction report" on page 8-6)  
Information appearing in the TYPE/NOTE column  
Information such as the type of transmission and type of error appears in the TYPE/NOTE column of the  
Transaction Report or Activity Report. The following notes may appear.

VIEWING THE COMMUNICATION  
ACTIVITY REPORT  
Your machine keeps a record of the most recent 99* transactions (both transmissions and receptions) that were  
performed. The record includes the date of the transaction, the other party's name, the duration, and result. You can  
have the report automatically printed when the number of transactions exceeds 99*, or at a specified time. This allows  
you to check the machine's activity at regular intervals.  
The machine is initially set (factory setting) to not print the report. To have the report printed, change the setting with  
the key operator program (See "Activity report print select setting" on page 8-6).  
* AR-M351N/AR-M451N only. On the AR-M351U/AR-M451U, 50 transactions are retained.  
NOTES  
After printing, the data is cleared from memory, so the report cannot be printed a second time.  
Refer to the table in "When a Transaction Report is printed" on the previous page for the notes that appear in the  
TYPE/NOTE column.  
WHEN AN ALARM SOUNDS AND A  
WARNING MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED

KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS  
ECM  
Fax send settings  
(This setting is only effective if the other machine  
is a G3 machine that supports ECM)  
The fax transmission settings allow you to adjust  
certain parameters for sending faxes to better suit  
your needs.  
Line conditions can sometimes distort  
a
transmitted fax image. When ECM (Error  
Correction Mode) is turned on, pages that are  
distorted are automatically re-transmitted. This  
setting is initially turned on. If turned off, distorted  
images will be transmitted without being corrected.  
The fax send settings are as follows:  
NOTE  
If the other machine supports Super G3, ECM will  
function regardless of the setting.  
Distinctive ring detection  
Auto reduction sending setting  
This setting lets you select whether to have a  
transmitted document reduced to match the size of  
the other machine's printing paper. Auto reduction  
is normally turned on. If the setting is turned off,  
documents are sent in their original size. Because  
the size is not adjusted to match the size of the  
printing paper, part of the received document may  
be cut off.  
This program can only be activated in Canada,  
Australia, and New Zealand.  
If multiple telephone numbers have been assigned  
to your telephone line, the number called can be  
identified by its ringing pattern. By using one  
number for voice calls and another number for  
faxes, you can tell which type of call you are  
receiving by the ringing pattern. You can set your  
machine to automatically receive faxes when your  
fax number is called by setting the pattern that  
corresponds to your fax number. (Note that in  
Canada, six selections are available.) Normally  
OFF is selected.  
Rotation sending setting  
When transmitting a document, this setting allows  
you to rotate a vertically oriented A4 (8-1/2"x11")  
document to  
a
horizontal orientation (A4R  
(8-1/2"x11"R)), rotate a B5R (5-1/2"x8-1/2R")  
document to B5 (5-1/2"x8-1/2"), or rotate a A5R  
document to A5. The setting is normally turned on,  
and documents are rotated counterclockwise.  
(A4R (8-1/2"x11"R) documents are not rotated.)  
Disable of fax number direct entry  
When the fax function is enabled, this program is  
used to prohibit dialing of a destination fax number  
by direct entry with the numeric keys. To prohibit  
dialing by direct entry with the numeric keys, touch  
the checkbox to select it. When this is done, faxes  
can only be sent to destinations that have been  
stored, and thus this program can be used to  
restrict fax destinations and prevent accidental  
transmission to an incorrect number. The following  
operations are also prohibited:

transmission)" on page 2-8.), this setting lets you  
select the amount of time that the machine waits  
before breaking the connection when the other  
machine does not respond to your machine's  
calling tone. If the other machine does not respond  
within this set time, your machine will automatically  
break the connection. Time selections are 30  
seconds, 45 seconds, and 60 seconds. This setting  
is normally set to 45 seconds.  
This program is used to set the number of recall  
attempts and the interval between recall attempts  
when a transmission is not successful due to the  
line being busy or other reason.  
Normally the machine is set to make 2 recall  
attempts at intervals of 3 minutes.  
The number of recall attempts and the interval  
between attempts that can be set in each country

Quick on line sending  
When this setting is turned on, the machine will call  
the other machine and start transmitting the  
document as soon as the first page is scanned.  
Transmission therefore takes place at the same  
time as any further pages are being scanned.  
Normally this setting is turned on.  
If you turn the setting off, transmission will not  
begin until all pages of the document have been  
scanned. Note that this setting does not apply to  
manual transmission. (See "Storing transmission

KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS  
Fax receive settings  
Duplex reception setting  
The fax reception settings allow you to adjust certain  
parameters for receiving faxes to better suit your needs.  
Settings that can be adjusted depend on the  
peripheral devices installed.  
(only when the duplex module option is installed)  
You can use this setting to select whether received  
documents are printed on both sides of the paper.  
Normally this setting is turned off. If turned on,  
received documents will be printed on both sides of  
the paper whenever the received document  
consists of two or more pages of the same paper  
size.  
The "Fax receive settings" are as follows:  
Print style setting  
This setting determines the selection condition for  
paper when printing received documents. Select  
one of the three conditions below. AUTO SIZE  
SELECT is normally selected.  
Auto receive reduce setting  
PRINT ACTUAL SIZE CUT OFF DISABLED  
The received fax image is printed at its actual  
size (without dividing it onto multiple sheets of  
paper). If the same size of paper or larger paper  
is not loaded, the fax will be received in memory  
and will not be printed until a suitable size of  
paper is loaded.  
PRINT ACTUAL SIZE CUT OFF ENABLED  
Each received image is printed at actual size. If  
necessary, the image is split onto multiple  
sheets of paper.  
When you receive a fax that includes the sender's  
name and number, the received image is slightly  
larger than the standard size*. This setting lets you  
select whether or not the received image is  
automatically reduced before printing to fit the  
standard size. Normally automatic reduction is  
turned on.  
NOTE  
If auto receive reduce is disabled, an image larger  
than the standard size will be cut off. However, the  
image is clearer because it is printed at the same  
size as the original.  
AUTO SIZE SELECT  
Each received image is printed at actual size  
when possible. When not possible, the image is  
automatically reduced before printing.  
* Standard sizes are sizes such as A4 and B5  
(8-1/2"x11" and 8-1/2"x5-1/2").  
Set the telephone number for data  
Number of calls in auto reception  
This setting is used to select the number of rings on  
which the machine automatically receives a call  
and begins fax reception when the reception mode  
is set to auto. (See "RECEIVING A FAX" on page  
2-10.) Normally this setting is selected to "2".  
The number of rings that can be set in each country  
are shown in the following table.  
forwarding  
When a problem prevents the machine from printing  
a received fax, the transfer function (page 3-18) can  
be used to forward the received fax to another fax  
machine. Use this setting to program the fax number  
of the destination fax machine. Only one fax number  
can be programmed (maximum of 64 digits).  
If you wish to specify an F-code confidential memory  
box in the destination machine, touch the [SUB
