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:
1.
Set the DIP switches on the board.
2.
Install the board in your printer.
3.
Plug the appropriate cables into the board.
4.
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:
o
Automatic reception-it starts to receive a fax when the
ring signal is detected.
o
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).
o
Manual reception-you have to use software or press the
manual reception button to receive a fax.
2
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:
1.
Answer the telephone connected to the fax board.
2.
Push the manual reception button within 20 seconds after
you hear the fax tone signal.
3.
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.

Connecting the board

Performing a self test
After you have installed the fax board in your printer, perform
a self test by following the steps below:
1.
While holding down the manual reception button on the
fax board, turn on the printer.

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:
1.
Connect the 9-pin connector of the supplied cable to the fax
board.
2.
Connect the 25-pin connector of the modem cable to the
25-pin connector of the supplied cable.
3.
Connect the 9-pin (or 25-pin) connector of the modem cable
to your computer.
4.
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:
o
When the buffer is full
o
When the printer is off line
o
When the phone line is already in use
o
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
o
Toner out
0
Paper size error
0 Paper jam
0 Cover open
