Choosing a location A

Put your product on a flat, level, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a desk. Put the product near a telephone socket and a standard grounded electrical socket. Choose a location where the temperature remains between 10C and 32.5C and the humidity is between 20% to 80% (without condensation).

DO NOT expose the product to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, corrosive gasses, moisture or dust.

DO NOT place the product near heaters, air conditioners, desk fan, refrigerators, water or chemicals.

Avoid placing your product in a high-traffic area.

DO NOT put the product where the ventilation holes of the product are blocked. Keep a gap of roughly 100 mm between the ventilation holes and the wall.

WARNING

DO NOT connect your product to electrical sockets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers, or to the same circuit as large appliances that might disrupt the power supply.

Disruption of power can delete information from the product’s memory.

Avoid interference sources, such as other cordless telephone systems or speakers.

Make sure cables leading to the product do not constitute a trip hazard.

To use the product safely A

There are high voltage electrodes inside the product. Before you clean the inside of the product, make sure you have unplugged the telephone line cord first (MFC only) and then the power cord from the electrical socket. Doing this will prevent an electrical shock.

DO NOT handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

Always make sure the plug is fully inserted.

This product must be installed near an electrical socket that is easily accessible. In case of an emergency, you must unplug the power cord from the electrical socket to shut off the power completely.

Plastic bags are used in the packing of your product and drum unit. Plastic bags are not toys. To avoid the danger of suffocation, keep these bags away from babies and children and dispose of them properly.

Printing Methods

Acceptable paper and other print media 1

Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using.

You can use the following types of print media: thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, recycled paper, labels or envelopes.

For best results, follow the instructions below:

 DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams

or misfeeds.

 For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the paper in

the tray.

 Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing.

 Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small quantity to make sure that the paper is suitable.
