15Safety Notes
Electrical Safety
WARNING
This product shall be operated by the power source as indicated on the product's data plate. Consult
your local power company to check if your power source meets the requirements.
WARNING:
• Connect this product to a protective earth circuit.
This product is supplied with a plug that has a protective earth pin. The plug fits only into an
earthed electrical outlet. This is a safety feature. If the plug doesn't fit to the outlet, contact an
electrician to replace the outlet to avoid risk of electric shock. Never use an earthed adapter
plug to connect the product to the electrical outlet that has no earth connection terminal.
Improper connection of a grounding conductor may cause electric shock.
Plug the power cord directly into a grounded electrical outlet. To prevent overheat and a fire
accident, do not use an extension cord, a multi-plug adaptor or a multiple connector. Consult
your local Fuji Xerox representative to check if an outlet is grounded.
Connect this product to a branch circuit or an outlet that has larger capacity than the rated
ampere and voltage of this product. See the data plate on the rear panel of this product for its
rated ampere and voltage.
Never touch the power cord with wet hands. It may cause electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not put an object on the power cord.
Always keep the plug connection free of dust. The dusty and damp environment may bring
about minute electric current in a connector. It may generate heat and eventually cause a fire
accident.
To avoid the risk of electric shock and a fire accident, only use the power cord supplied with this
product or the ones designated by Fuji Xerox.
The power cord is exclusive use for this product. Do not use it for any other product.
Do not damage or alter the power cord. Damage and alteration may generate heat and
eventually cause electric shock or a fire accident.
If the power cord is damaged or insulated wires are exposed, contact your local Fuji Xerox
representative for its replacement. Do not use a damaged or uninsulated cord to avoid the risk
of electric shock and a fire accident.
When cleaning this product, always switch off and unplug it. Access to a live machine interior
may cause electric shock.
Do not unplug or re-plug this product with the switch on. Plugging and unplugging a live
connector may deform the plug and generate heat, and eventually cause a fire accident.
Hold the plug not the cord when unplugging this product, or it may damage the cord and cause
electric shock or a fire accident.
Safety Notes16
Switch off and unplug the product when it (i.e., fax function) is not used over weekends or long
holidays.
Please note that it cannot receive fax message during switch-off.
Once a month, switch off this product and check if
• the power cord is plugged firmly into an electrical outlet;
• the plug is not excessively heated, rusted or bent;
• the plug and electrical outlet are free of dust; and
• the power cord is not cracked or worn down.
Once you notice any unusual condition, switch off and unplug this product first and contact your
local Fuji Xerox representative.

Security Precautions for Using Wireless LAN
Products
One of the advantages of wireless LAN is that connections are possible anywhere within the range of
the radio waves. This is possible because instead of cables, wireless LAN uses radio waves to
connect computers and wireless access points.
On the other hand, the radio waves get through obstructions (such as walls) within the range to reach
every place, so the following problems may occur if security is not set up.
• Transmissions Can Be Accessed Covertly
It is possible for criminal outsiders to intentionally intercept the transmissions to covertly access the
information in the transmissions.
• IDs, passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal information
• Content of mail
• Unauthorized Access
Criminal outsiders may access private or company networks without authorization to do the following.
• Steal personal or secret information (information leak)
• Impersonate someone and send false information (impersonation)
• Alter intercepted transmissions and distribute them (falsification)
• Infect computers with a virus to destroy data or systems (vandalism)
You can reduce the possibility of these problems by doing the setting up security for your wireless LAN
product.
Wireless LAN cards and wireless access points conventionally have security arrangements to prevent
these types of problems.
We recommend that customers fully understand the problem of using the product without security and
that they determine to and take the responsibility for setting up security for their product.
27Security Precautions for Using Wireless LAN Products
Product Features
This section describes the product features and indicates their links.
Manual Duplex Print
Duplex print is to print two or more pages on the
front and back sides of a single sheet of paper
manually. This feature allows you to reduce the
paper consumption.
For more information, see "Manual Duplex Printing"
on page 167.
Scanning to a USB Storage Device
Multiple Up (2-in-1 Copy)
Multiple Up copy enables you to print multiple
pages on a single sheet of paper. This feature
allows you to reduce the paper consumption.
For more information, see "Multiple Up" on
page 215.
Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI)
You do not need a computer to connect your USB
storage device to save the scanned data. Insert
your USB storage device in the port on the printer,
and save the scanned data directly to your USB
storage device.
For more information, see "Scanning to a USB
Storage Device" on page 257.
Wireless Print
With the wireless LAN feature of the printer, you
can place your printer at any location and print from
a computer without cabling.
For more information, see "Configuring Wireless
Settings" on page 85.
Print media loaded on the PSI is given precedence
over those loaded on the multipurpose feeder
(MPF). Using the PSI allows you to use other types
or sizes of print media preferentially over the
regular print media loaded on the MPF.
For more information, see "Loading Print Media in
the Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI)" on page 162.
