Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet.

Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.

Never plug the machine into a power socket that is shared with other equipment (extension lead/cord, 2- or 3-way adapter, etc.).

Never use the machine if the power cord is bundled or knotted.

If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the machine, immediately unplug the machine at the power supply and call for service.

Periodically, unplug the machine and use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the power outlet.

If the machine is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust, smoke, or high humidity, the dust collected on the plug absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.

If you hear thunder, disconnect the power supply of the machine and refrain from using it. Leaving the machine plugged in may cause fire, electric shock, or damage to the machine, depending on the thunder storm.

Never use a power supply source other than the one rated for the machine in the country of where you purchased the machine.

This could cause a fire or electric shock if the spray comes into contact with electrical components inside the machine.

4 Safety Precautions

Choosing a location Do not install the machine in a location that is unstable or subject to excessive vibration.

Do not install the machine in locations that are very humid or dusty, in direct sunlight, outdoors, or close to a heating source.

To avoid the risk of fire or electric shocks, install the machine in a location with an ambient temperature range of 59°F to 81.5°F (15°C to 27.5°C) and humidity of 20% to 80% (condensation free).

7Before Using Your Machine

Turning the Machine ON and OFF

Turn on the machine before starting printing.

" Turning on the Machine

Before turning on the machine, confirm that the FINE Cartridge is set into place.

Note

If preparatory operations are not yet finished, follow the Easy Setup Instructions to complete them.

1 To turn on the machine, press [ON/OFF].

[ON/OFF] flashes green for a while, and then turns on.

Note

! If an error message is displayed on the LCD, see “LCD Messages” on page 62. ! The LCD will turn itself off if inactive for more than 5 minutes, press any button on the Operation

Panel except for [ON/OFF] to restore the display.

" Turning off the Machine

1 To turn off the machine, press [ON/OFF] about a few seconds.

The machine is off after <SHUTTING DOWN....> is displayed on the LCD.

Important

! Always press [ON/OFF] before disconnecting the power cord. This ensures the FINE Cartridge

is covered to prevent it from drying out.

! If the machine is not used for an extended period of time, we recommend making copies or

performing FINE Cartridge cleaning about once every month to prevent degradation of the FINE Cartridge.

! The FINE Cartridge has many nozzles in order to produce high-definition prints. In the same

way that the tip of a felt-tip or marker pen will naturally dry out over time and become unusable even with the cap in place, the nozzles might become clogged. Periodically printing or performing FINE Cartridge cleaning can help to prevent this kind of clogging.

! If you change to another telephone line, turn off the machine before unplugging the telephone

line cable.

Note

The power cannot be turned OFF with [ON/OFF] while the machine is operating.

Paper Requirements

Your fax supports A4-, letter-, and legal-size paper in portrait orientation. You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond paper, or typical letterhead. Your fax does not require special ink jet paper. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or damaged edges. Look at the label on the package to see if the paper has a preferred side for printing.

Making Copies

One of the convenient features of the fax is its ability to make high quality copies. You can make up to 99 copies of one document at a time.

If you make copies of multiple documents at a time, the number of pages the fax can scan into memory is as follows:

! COPY STANDARD/COPY FINE/COPY DRAFT = 10 pages

Note

! The number of pages the fax can scan into memory is not affected by the scanning resolutions (see

page 20).

! <COPY STANDARD> and <COPY FINE> result in the same resolution when making copies. ! If MEMORY FULL appears on the LCD when making multiple copies, see “Copying Problems” on

page 58.
