Setting Up the MFC
1
Connect the power cord.
There is no ON/OFF switch. When you 
plug in the power cord, the power goes 
on and the LCD shows:
WARNING
■
The MFC must be grounded using a 3-prong plug.
■
Since the MFC is grounded through the power outlet, you can protect yourself from 
potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network by keeping the 
power to your MFC on when you connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can 
protect yourself when you want to move your MFC by disconnecting first the 
telephone line and then the power cord.
■
Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you use a 
quality surge protection device on the AC power line as well as on the telephone line, 
or unplug the lines during a lightning storm.
2
Connect the telephone line cord.
Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack on the MFC and the other 
end to a modular wall jack.
Caution
Operating the MFC before you install the ink cartridges will permanently 
damage the print head.
