Getting started
Pick an installation spot
Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:
Clean Dust buildup can damage your machine. (However, do not use a cover!)
In the open Allow at least 12 inches of clearance around your machine. Be sure
that you never cover the machine. Its vents must be able to breathe.
A way from direct sunlight This helps avoid overheating.
Dry Avoid any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a water fountain)
could reach your fax machine.
Level, and vibration-free.
Near a phone jack Your fax machine uses a standard (modular) telephone jack,
also known as an RJ -11.
Near an A C power outlet The A C power cord is about 6 feet long when stretched
to its limit, and the power cord should never be stretched to its limit.
Power tips
Use a standard three-pronged 120 VA C outlet.
Make sure the outlet isn t controlled by a wall switch.
If it is, you ll risk occasional shutoffs to the machine, causing you to
lose fax messages.
Don t use an outlet which also is supplying power to a large
appliance, such as a refrigerator or air conditioner.
Such high-consumption appliances can cause draw-downs
(temporary drops in the power available for other equipment on the
circuit) which could damage your fax machine.
Use an electrical surge suppressor, preferably one which guards both telephone
and electrical lines. This device helps to shield your fax machine from damaging
high-voltage electrical surges.
Unlocking the mirror carriage
Your fax machine is shipped with mirror carriage locking plate for protecting your
machine s mirror carriage during shipping.
Important: Do not turn the power on until after you have unlocked the mirror car-
riage. Otherwise, damage could result.
Important: Gently close the top cover so that you don t catch your hands, possibly
injuring them.
1 Open the top cover. Loosen the screw which secures the mirror carriage locking
plate, and then slide the plate.
2 After unlocking the mirror carriage, secure the mirror carriage locking plate
mounting screw.
IMPORTA N T: BEFORE YOU USE THE MACHINE, YOU MUST TURN OFF
