Fax I/F Board

User’s Manual

Introduction

This EPSON

Fax Interface Board adds standalone plain paper

fax reception to your EPSON laser printer. The Fax Interface

Board is a G3 facsimile receiver and can be connected to any

standard two-wire phone line.

The Fax Interface Board can also serve as a Class 1 Fax modem

connected to a computer’s serial interface if you use the proper

fax software (which is not included in this package).

After you install the board in your printer and connect it to an

appropriate telephone line, you can receive faxes any time the

printer is turned on and is on line, or while it is printing. The

printer cannot receive faxes if it is off line or turned off.

Printers that can use the interface board

The board can be installed in the optional interface slot of these

EPSON printers:

Introduction 1

Setup

Setting up your fax board is a four-step process:

Set the DIP switches on the board.

Install the board in your printer.

Plug the appropriate cables into the board.

Perform a self test.

Before you install your fax board, you need to make a number

of choices about how your fax board will work. Read the

descriptions below, make your choices, and then proceed with

your setup.

Fax reception modes

This board has three fax reception modes:

Automatic reception-it starts to receive a fax when the

ring signal is detected.

Selective reception-it starts to receive a fax either 15 or

30 seconds after it detects a ring signal (depending on the

setting you select).

Manual reception-you have to use software or press the

manual reception button to receive a fax.

Setup

Automatic reception

Select this mode if you use the fax board with a telephone line

that you use exclusively for fax reception.

If you select Automatic reception mode, the board receives

faxes automatically any time fax data is received and the

printer it turned on. If you wish, you can connect a telephone

to the PHONE connector and place calls when the fax board is

not receiving a fax, but you cannot answer any calls.

Selective reception

Use this mode if you want the fax board to share the same line

with a telephone.

In this mode the telephone rings for a short time (15 or 30

seconds, depending on your setting) when a call comes in and

then the board begins fax reception if you do not answer the

telephone. If you answer the phone and it is a fax transmission,

you press the manual reception button and transmission

begins. If it is a voice call and you do not answer the phone,

the caller will hear a fax tone.

You can place telephone calls any time the board is not

receiving a fax.

Setup 3

Manual or software reception

Select this mode if you want to connect the fax board to your

computer and use fax sending and receiving software or if you

use the fax board with a telephone line that you usually use for

voice calls.

In this mode, you receive a fax using your fax software or in

the following manner:

Answer the telephone connected to the fax board.

Push the manual reception button within 20 seconds after

you hear the fax tone signal.

Hang up your telephone when the fax tone stops.

You can make a telephone call or answer the phone any time

the fax board is not receiving fax data.

Setup

Once you have decided which fax reception setting you want,

set the DIP switches according to the table below.

This illustration shows the location of the switches; on is up

and off is down.

Print data transfer speed

The fax board transfers fax data to the printer very quickly.

If the data transfer is too fast for the printer, a SET FULL

PRINT error may occur on your printer. If this error happens

frequently on your printer, reduce the duty percentage using

the following settings. Note that you should always use the

10% setting for the EPL-8000.

Installing the fax board in your printer

After you have set the DIP switches, install the fax board in

your printer following the instructions in your printer manual.

See the section on installing an optional interface board.

Connecting the board

After you have installed the board, connect the phone cable

included with the board to the connector labeled LINE on the

telephone connector (jack). If you wish, you can also plug a

telephone into the connector labeled PHONE.

Performing a self test

After you have installed the fax board in your printer, perform

a self test by following the steps below:

While holding down the manual reception button on the

fax board, turn on the printer.

Release the manual reception button when the printer’s

FEED indicator starts blinking.

The printer then prints a two-page self test. This shows that the

board is properly installed and gives you information about the

board and its settings.

Fax modem mode

If you want to use the fax board to send faxes from your

computer, you need to buy a straight through serial (or

modem) cable and appropriate fax modem software. One

cable is included with your fax board, but you need an

additional cable to connect the board to your computer.

You need a standard straight through (or modem) cable with a

25-pin connector on one end and a 9-pin connector (for the

computer) on the other end or with 25-pin connectors on both

ends, depending on the serial port of your computer. Check

your computer before you buy the cable. When you have the

appropriate serial cable, follow the steps below:

Connect the 9-pin connector of the supplied cable to the fax

board.

Connect the 25-pin connector of the modem cable to the

25-pin connector of the supplied cable.

Connect the 9-pin (or 25-pin) connector of the modem cable

to your computer.

Follow the instructions for your fax modem software to

install and use the software.

Troubleshooting

When the fax board cannot receive a fax

The fax board has a 300KB buffer that allows it to store fax data

when it can receive but not print. It can store up to 15 pages

depending on the amount of text and graphics on each page.

For example, it uses the buffer when it receives a fax while it is

printing a standard print job sent by your computer.

The fax board cannot, however, receive a fax under the

following conditions:

When the buffer is full

When the printer is off line

When the phone line is already in use

When the printer is turned off.

The fax board cannot begin reception if the printer is off line

before

the fax data starts arriving, but it can continue reception if

the printer is taken off line after the board begins receiving a

fax.

Printer error

The fax board can receive fax data until the data buffer is full

under the following conditions:

0 Paper out

Toner out

Paper size error

0 Paper jam

0 Cover open
