PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE REMOVING THE UNIT FROM THE CARTON

The Brother FAX-1000 is designed to operate in an office environment. It is rugged, reliable and virtually maintenance-free. However, to ensure years of trouble-free performance, please observe the following precautions;

• Do not locate the unit near heaters, air conditioners, in direct sunlight or in extremely dusty environments.

Install the unit on a flat level surface, such as a desk, a table, a typewriter or computer

stand. Do not locate the unit where water or chemicals are likely to splash on it. Select a vibration-free area of your office. Locate the unit within 3 feet from a telephone wall jack. Locate the unit within 3 feet of a standard, grounded outlet. Avoid plugging in the unit into an outlet which is on the same line as an air conditioner,

a refrigeration unit, a copier, an electric typewriter or any other device that draws a lot of current in a relatively short period of time.

PROCEDURES FOR REMOVING THE UNIT FROM THE PACKING CARTON

1. Carefully open the carton (see the appropriate inscription on the carton)

2. Pull out the FAX-1000 and the other devices together with the packing trays

3. Remove all packing trays and plastic from the unit

4. Take out the telephone line cord from the plastic packaging

5. Locate and take out the paper roll

INSTALLING THE UNIT

The simplest way to connect the Brother FAX-1000 unit to the public switched telephone network (phone company lines) is to use a single telephone line. The connection is particularly simple if you have a modular wall jack. The most common modular jack is referred to as the RJ11C jack. If you have such a jack, follow the instructions below. If your wall jack is not modular, it is very easy to convert the wall plug to a modular form. Conversion is very simple and conversion kits are available from your local phone company, an electronics / computer store (e.g.. Radio Shack) or

the AT&T phone stores. To give you a conceptual idea of the connections, here is a diagram.

SINGLE-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS

If you have MODULAR PHONE JACKS (RJ11C), simply plug the phone cord into the wall jack.

If you have the older 4-PRONG JACK, you must use a modular 4-prong adapter USOC (RJA1X). Plug the adapter into the wall jack and then plug the phone card into the adapter.

To connect your FAX-1000 to the telephone line, follow these steps:

The telephone handset which is included in the carton must be connected to the FAX-

1000 by plugging in the handset cord into the jack on the side of the FAX-1000 unit.

Take the telephone cord which is also included in the carton and connect one of its plugs to the jack in the back of the FAX-1000 unit and the second plug to your modular wall jack

(RJ11C). Now, the FAX-1000 is connected to the telephone network.

II.

Most offices have key systems or PBXs. While in many cases it is relatively easy to connect the FAX-1000 to a key system or a PBX, we suggest that you contact the organization which installed your company's telephone system and ask them to connect the FAX-1000 to the system. If the FAX-1000 is connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the FAX-1000 to the last line on the system. This way, the FAX-1000 will not be activated by every phone call coming

into your office. The preferred solution is to ask the phone company to assign a separate line to the facsimile unit. In this case, you can leave the unit on 24 hours a day and derive full benefits from its automatic, unattended operations capabilities.

MULTI-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS

III. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The FAX-1000 can be plugged into any standard power (120 VAC) outlet. Simply make sure that the outlet is grounded and that it is not on the same line as appliances or office machines which tend to draw a lot of power in a very short period of time, such as refrigerators, copiers, etc. The

FAX-1000 power requirements are listed in the SPECIFICATIONS.

IV. INSERTING THE RECORDING PAPER ROLL INTO THE UNIT

To insert the paper roll, follow these directions:

1. Make sure that the POWER Switch is OFF. The switch is located on the back of the facsimile machine.

2. Press the OPEN button which is located at the lower left front of the machine. This opens the cover.

3. Hold the recording paper roll so that the free end of the paper points towards you from the top of the roll.

4. Place the paper roll into the machine* and insert the edge of the recording paper into the guide slot. Make sure that at least 1-1/2" of paper is fed into the slot.

5. Push the cover shut until you hear a click.

6. Turn the power ON.

7. Press the STOP button located on the right side of the cover for approximately one (1) second until you see the edge of the paper coming out of the unit.

* This unit accepts two sizes of paper-A4 (8-1/2") and B4 (10.1"). You can move the adjustment plate to accomodate the appropriate paper size.

NOTE: The recording paper is heat-sensitive. Avoid exposure to high temperature, high humidity or direct sunlight.

NOW, YOU ARE READY FOR THE NEXT STEP - LEARNING HOW TO USE THE FAX-1000.
