down.

Do not open the protective bag of the cartridge until you are ready
to install the cartridge.

If the toner powder gets in your eyes, wash your eyes well and
see a doctor.

Keep cartridges away from water or oil.

Do not expose cartridges to direct sunlight.

Pick an inst allation spot

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

Clean Dust buildup can damage your machine. (However, d o 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.
A way from direct sunlight Thi s helps avoid overheating.
Dry A void any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a water fountain)

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

AC

power outlet The ACpower cord is about 6 feet long when stretched

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

Power tips

Use a standard three-pronged 120

VA C

outlet.

Make sure the outlet isn t controlled by a wall switch.
If it is, you ll risk occasional shutof fs 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 i n 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-volt age 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 u ntil af ter you have unlocked the mirror car-

riage. 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

Af ter unlocking the mirror carriage, secure the mirror carriage locking plate
mounting screw.

IMPORTAN T: BEFORE YOU USE THE MACHINE, YOU MUST TURN OFF

THE TRANSPORT MODE (see page 1.8).

Note: If you must ship your machine for some reason, turn on the transport mode,

turn the power off and then lock the mirror carriage (undo the above procedure).

Inst alling the printing supplies

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

The drum cartridge It yields 20,000 normal letter-sized printout s (see

Specifications, p age

AI

.2). By normal, we re referring to the amount of text and/or

graphics on each page. This is based on an industry-st andard test document.
The toner cartridge It yields 16,000 normal , letter-sized printout s (see

Specifications, p age AI.2).

Note: The toner cartridge included with your machine is s tarter toner cartridge, which

yields 3,000 printouts. Please purchase regular, full-yield toner cartridge from
your authorized Muratec dealer.

To inst all 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

toner cartridge in the printer, making
sure the toner cartridge s two pins fit in
the slit s inside the printer frame.

5

U npack the drum cartridge from it s 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 slit s 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 d o
not subject the LED print head
to strongly shock.

8

Gently close the printer cover.

9
