HelpIf you have any problems using your DECTfax, this section will give you the most common, easy-to-follow solutions.

The consumables (ink ribbon and smartcard) are already installed in the machine. You will need to change these consumables when they become worn. To do so, refer to the instructions in the following paragraphs.

Replacing the print ribbon and smartcard

The print ribbon and the smartcard work together, and the fax will not work without the smartcard. The print ribbon prints onto paper and the smartcard monitors how much ribbon has been used.

Warning

Use only print ribbons that match the supplier’s specifications. Using other types may result in damage to the main machine and invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.

Documents printed by your machine may be read from the used print ribbon. If certain documents are to be kept confidential, you may want to remove the print ribbon whenever the machine is unattended.
