Choosing a Location
Place your MFC on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free
of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone jack and a
standard, grounded power outlet. Choose a location where the temperature
remains between 50°F and 90°F (10°-35°C).
Avoid placing your MFC in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air
conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine to
direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust. Do not connect your machine to
electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of
power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not connect your
machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other
equipment that might dismpt the power supply. Avoid interference sources, such
as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.

Caution
Keep the MFC out of strong light such as direct sunlight, or the unit may not be
able to detect the cartridge ink level.

NOTE:
1)
The MFC must be grounded using a 3-prong plug.
2) 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 the telephone line first, and then the power cord.
3) 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.

take off the sealing tape. If ink staias your body or clothing, wash with
soap or detergent immediately.
■ If you install an ink cartridge in the wrong color position, you must clean
the print head several times after correcting the cartridge installation and
before you start printing because the colors were mixed.
■ Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the MFC and use it up within
six month of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges within two years of
production.

installed the ink cartridges, check and make sure that the ink cartridges are
installed correctly.

____________
Roll Over Phone Lines
A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that
pass incoming calls to the next available line. The calls are usually passed down
or "rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.
Your MFC can work in a roll over system as long as it is connected to the last
number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the MFC on any
of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second fax call is
received, the fax call is transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine.
Your MFC will work best on a dedicated line.
Twvo-Line Phone System
A two-line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone numbers on
the same wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJl 1) or
combined into one jack (RJ14). Your MFC must be plugged into an RJll jack.
RJl 1 and RJl4 jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain
4 wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a
two-line phone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must separate the
line for your MFC.
Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJl 1 jack. The first two ways may require
assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlets from one
RJl4 jack to two RJl 1 jacks. Or, you can have an RJl 1 wall outlet installed and
slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it.
