OKIFAX 740

User’s Guide

Safety

•

Your OKIFAX 740 has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety

feature, and it will only fit into a earthed outlet. If you can

not plug it in, chances are that you have an older,

non-earthed outlet; contact an electrician to have it replaced

with a earthed outlet. Do not use an adapter to defeat the

earthing.

Your OKIFAX 740 has been carefully designed to give you years

of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment,

there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting

yourself or damaging the unit:

•

Read the setup and operating instructions in this manual

carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.

Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the

machine itself.

•

The outlet into which you plug your OKIFAX 740 must

remain easily accessible at all times.

To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put anything

on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cable

becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.

If you’re using an extension cable or power strip with the

machine, make sure that the total current required by all

the equipment on the extension is less than the extension’s

rating. Generally, the total ratings of all equipment plugged

into any one power line should not exceed 15 amperes. Do

not exceed this unless you know that the power line your

equipment is plugged into has a rating above 15 amperes.

Aside from the routine maintenance described in this

manual, don’t try to service the machine yourself; opening

the cover may expose you to shocks or other hazards. Do

not make any adjustments other than those outlined in the

manual, you might cause damage requiring extensive repair

work.

Unplug the OKIFAX 740 before you clean it. Use only a

damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Place your OKIFAX 740 on a firm, solid surface. If you

put in on something unsteady, it might fall and be damaged;

if you place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed,

the vents may be blocked, causing it to overheat.

To protect your OKIFAX 740 from overheating, make sure

no openings on the machine are blocked. Do not put the

machine on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat

make sure it is well ventilated.

•

Do not use your OKIFAX 740 near water, or spill liquid of

any kind into it.

Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed

on the back of the machine. If you are not sure, check with

your dealer or with your local power company.

•

If anything happens that indicates that your OKIFAX 740

is not working properly or has been damaged, unplug it

immediately and contact your Oki dealer for service. These

are some of the things to look for:

•

The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.

Liquid has been spilled into the housing, or the machine

has been exposed to water.

•

The machine has been dropped or its cabinet has been

damaged.

The machine doesn’t function normally when you are

following the operating instructions.

Dialling with the Quick Dial Feature

Your OKIFAX 740 has 60 memories to store frequently

called telephone numbers. 10 numbers can be stored for

one-touch dialling using the keys ^[A]to [J], and a further 50

numbers may be stored in memory locations numbered 10

3. For one-touch dialling, press the appropriate one-touch

key ^[A]to [J]. For two-touch quick dialling, enter the

appropriate two-digit memory number via the numeric

keypad.

This section describes how to dial a frequently used number

frequently used numbers have already been programmed

into the OKIFAX 740 memories. For information on

programming numbers see later in the “Programming”

section.

Note: Five one-touch keys are provided, for memories A

FAX Mode

Reception

In this mode of operation your OKIFAX will automatically

answer incoming calls with a fax answer tone. This is

appropriate if your telephone line is dedicated to fax.

Your OKIFAX 740 provides four modes for call reception:

• TEL mode

• FAX mode

• TEL/FAX mode

• TAD mode

TEL/FAX Mode

In this mode your OKIFAX 740 will automatically answer

incoming calls. If it detects a remote fax machine calling it

will automatically respond and receive the fax message.

Each mode is selectable at any time by pressing ^[RECEIVE

MODE]. You may also set the machine’s default mode (the

mode adopted by your OKIFAX 740 when it is switched

on) by programming function 47.

If no remote fax machine is detected your OKIFAX 740

will emit a high-pitched audible tone. In this case, lift your

telephone handset and press ^[STOP]to begin a voice

conversation.

TEL Mode

In this mode your OKIFAX 740 will not automatically

answer incoming calls. This is convenient if you have a

normal telephone installed and wish to answer incoming

voice calls on the same line.

After a voice exchange, to commence a fax exchange press

[START] and hang up the telephone.

TAD Mode

If you answer a call and hear a remote fax machine (short

beeps at 3-second intervals), press ^[START]to begin fax

reception.

TAD stands for ‘Telephone Answering Device,’ and is

appropriate if you wish to receive both voice and fax calls

while the OKIFAX 740 is unattended.

For this application you will require a voice telephone 3. Press [*] until the required number of rings is displayed,

The OKIFAX 740 causes a voltage drop of 1.35V when

passing a PSTN current up to and including 40mA dc. Do

not connect the OKIFAX 740 with apparatus which, with

associated wiring causes the aggregate of the voltage drops

to exceed a value of 2V at a PSTN line current of 40mA dc.

The handset can be used to make “999” calls to the
