Do not share an outlet with a large
appliance

High-consumption appliances such as a refrigerator
or air conditioner can cause draw-downs which
could damage your fax machine.

Use a standard three-pronged 120 V electrical outlet
to power your fax machine.Using any other electri­cal outlet will cause damage to your fax.

For domestic use only

Never use your fax machine outside the country in
which you purchased it. Doing so may violate
telecommunication and safety regulations of that
country, and variations in electrical and telephone
standards can cause poor performance and damage
to your fax.

General Precautions

Never disassemble your fax machine!

Disassembling your fax machine can cause serious
injury to you and damage to your fax. If service is
required, call your authorized Muratec dealer.

Keep away from liquids

damage to the fax machine.

AC 120V

Do not put furniture or equipment on
the power cord

Do not put anything on or over the electrical power
cord, and do not route the power cord under rugs or
carpets.Doing so can damage the power cord or fax,
and can cause fire or electrical shock.

Avoid temperature fluctuations

Use caution when carrying the fax

Lift and carry the fax machine as described in your
operating instructions.Some fax machines require
two people to safely and properly carry.

Use supplies manufactured

To avoid damage to your fax mac hine and to assure the best performance possible,
follow these guidelines when storing and handling toner and drum cartridges:

Store the cartridge

Store the cartridge at a constant temperature within a range of 32” F to 95” F (0” C
to 35” C).To avoid dew do not store cartridges in locations subject to extreme fluctu­ation of temperature and humidity.

Do not stand the cartridge on its end and do not store it
upside down.

and see a doctor.

Keep cartridges away from water or oil.
Do not expose cartridges to direct sunlight.

Getting started

Pick an installation spot

Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:

Clean Dust buildup can damage your machine. (However,do not use a cover!)
In the open Allow at least 12 inches of clearance around your machine. Be

sure that you never cover the machine.Its vents must be able to breathe.

Away from direct sunlight This helps avoid overheating.
Dry Avoid any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a water foun-

tain) could reach your fax machine.

Level, and vibration-free.
Near a phone jack Your fax machine uses a standard (modular) telephone

jack, also known as an RJ-11.
Near an ACpower outlet The ACpower cord is about 6 feet long when

stretched to its limit, and the power cord should never be stretched to its limit.

Power tips

Use a standard three-pronged 120

VAC

outlet.

Make sure the outlet isn t controlled by a wall switch.

If it is, you ll risk occasional shutoffs to the machine, causing you
to lose fax messages.

Don t use an outlet which also is supplying power to a
large appliance, such as a refrigerator or air conditioner .

Such high-consumption appliances can cause draw-downs
(temporary drops in the power available for other equipment on
the circuit) which could damage your fax machine.

Use an electrical surge suppressor, preferably one which guards both tele­phone and electrical lines.This device helps to shield your fax machine from
damaging high-voltage electrical surges.

Unlocking the mirror carriage

Your fax machine is shipped with mirror carriage locking plate for protecting your
machine s mirror carriage during shipping.

Important: Do not turn the power on until after you have unlocked the mirror

carriage. Otherwise, damage could result.

Important: Gently close the top cover so that you don t catch your hands, possibly

injuring them.

1

Open the top cover. Loosen the screw which secures the mirror carriage lock­ing plate, and then slide the plate.

2

After unlocking the mirror carriage,secure the mirror carriage locking plate
mounting screw.

Getting started

Installing the printing supplies

Your fax prints incoming faxes and copies with a reliable 600 dpi print engine.Your
fax requires two types of printing supplies (sometimes also called consumables):

The drum cartridge It yields 16,000 normal letter-sized printouts (see

Specifications, pages AI.1AI.2). By normal, we re referring to the amount of
text and/or graphics on each page.This is based on an industry-standard test
document.

The toner cartridge It yields 8,000 normal , letter-sized printouts (see

Specifications, pages AI.1AI.2).

To install these supplies:
Important: Gently close the top cover so that you don t catch your hands, possibly

injuring them.

1

Pull up the top cover
release and open the top

cover.

2

Slide the printer cover
release and open the

printer cover.

3

Unpack a new toner cartridge from its
carton.Then, holding the toner car­tridge with both hands,slowly shake it
to distribute the toner evenly inside the
cartridge.

Note: Do not touch the roller of the

toner cartridge.

4

Gently install the toner cartridge in
the printer, making sure the toner car­tridge s two pins fit in the slits inside
the printer frame.

5

Unpack the drum cartridge from its carton.
Note: Shield the drum cartridge from light, especially strong light. Later,if

you have to remove the cartridge from the machine,immediately
wrap it in a thick cloth to protect it from light.

6

Gently install the drum cartridge in
the printer, making sure the drum
cartridge s four pins fit in the slits
inside the printer frame.

7

Gently clean the LED print head
using the cleaning paper included in
the toner cartridge carton box.
For best print quality, you should
clean the LED head every time you
change the new toner cartridge.

Note: Do not use abrasive materials

on the LED print head, and do
not subject the LED print
head to strongly shock.

8

Gently close the printer cover.

9

Close the top cover. Be sure to push on a portion of the cover to lock it into its
original (closed) position.

Note: The fax machine will not work if the cover isn t closed properly.

Attach the paper -handling parts

1

Attach the document tray by inserting it into the appropriate holes,as shown.

2

Attach the extension paper tray by inserting its two pegs at a slightly upward
angle into the appropriate holes,as shown.

Plug in and power up

1

Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the

LINE

jack on the machines

rear side and the other end into a standard telephone wall jack.

2

Plug the non-pronged end of the AC power cord into the AC power cord jack
on the right rear side of the machine and the pronged end into a 120 V electri­cal outlet (preferably on a surge suppressor, as mentioned on page 1.5).

Important: Be sure that you do not turn the power on (next step) until after

you have unlocked the mirror carriage locking plate.(see page

1.5).

3

Use the AC power switch to turn on your machine.The markings are interna­tional standards: I means on, O means off.

It will take a few seconds for the machine to warm up.The

Loading paper in paper cassette

Before you load paper, note the following:

After you loaded paper in paper cassette, you must need to tell your machine
which size of the paper, letter-, legal- or half letter-sized, you loaded.
You can do this by the Setting of the paper size operation. (See next page.)

Note:If you will be using letter-sized paper, there s no need to adjust the cas-

sette; your machine is initially set for Letter-sized paper. Simply attach
the LTR sticker to the outside of the paper cassette.

Attach the paper size sticker on the cassettes front.

Helpful Tip: The paper level indicator on the

front paper cassette lets you see
how much paper is in the cassette
without your having to open the cas­sette.When you see the paper level
indicator drop (i. e., show more blue
area), make sure you have a supply
of paper nearby. Then, when you see
the Please Supply Paper message
on the display, you ll be ready to
refill the cassette.

Important: To avoid paper jams, do not refill this paper cassette without first

removing all of any paper which may remain in it. In other words, do
not just add sheets to an already-loaded stack.
