Regulatory information

Customer information

United States of America

The MFX-1350/MFX-1330/F-305/F-300 hereafter referred to as “product”, complies with
Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the rear panel
of the product is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in
the format US:DKUFA02B004C (for MFX-1350/F-305), US:DKUFA02B003C (for MFX-

1330), or US:DKUFA02B002C (for F-300). If required, this number must be provided to
the telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a tele­phone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing
in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not
exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line,
as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for this
product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:DKUFA02B004C (for
MFX-1350/F-305), US:DKUFA02B003C (for MFX-1330), or US:DKUFA02B002C (for F-

300). The digits represented by “02B” are the REN without a decimal point.

The product is designed for use on standard-device telephone lines. The product con­nects to the telephone line with a standard line called the USOC RJ-11C.

Any plug and jack used to connect the product to the wiring and telephone network of
the premises must comply with the applicable Part 68 of the FCC rules and the require­ments adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided
with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is
also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

If the product causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify
you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance
notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible and may
advise you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures that could affect the operation of the product. If this happens, the telephone
company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to
maintain uninterrupted service.

If trouble is experienced with the product, see operating instructions for details. For
further repair or warranty information, please contact the Muratec Customer Support
Center at 800-347-3296 (from the U.S. A. only). If the product is causing harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the product
until the problem is resolved.

Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility
commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for information.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line,
ensure the installation of the product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you
have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone com­pany or a qualified installer.

The product is hearing aid compatible.

When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency num­bers:

1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.

2) Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evenings.
To protect the product against power surges, we recommend the use of a power protec-

tion device (Surge arrestor).

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to
use a computer or other electronic device, including FAX machines, to send any message
unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each trans­mitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and
an identification of the receiving business or other entity, or other individual sending
the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other
entity, or individual. (The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number or any
other number for which charges exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.)

For instructions on programming this information into the product, see “Initial Setup” on
pages 1-13 to 1-17 of this manual.

FCC Part 15

This product equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. The product equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Opera­tion of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful radio interference,
in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

Canada

NOTICE:

This product equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment
Technical Specifications.

NOTICE:

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment is 0.2 (for MFX­1330/F-300), or 0.9 (for MFX-1350/F-305). The REN assigned to each terminal equip­ment provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be con­nected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any
combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer
Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.

ENERGY STAR

What is an ENERGY STAR® program?

®

As an ENERGY STAR® partner, Muratec has determined that this product

meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.

The international ENERGY STAR® program is the international program
to promote energy efficient consumer products. This program aims the
reduction of power consumption of office equipment, of which power are
often turned ON for a long time, from the energy saving view that “effi­ciently use the energy when needed”. It adopts the voluntary system a
manufacturer can join by its independent decision.

QuadAccess

®

QuadAccess is a more powerful version of what already is a pretty power-

ful feature, called dual access. While a fax with normal dual access allows
you to do two things at once, QuadAccess allows you to do four operations
at once.
For example, even if the machine is (1) printing a copy, (2) transmitting
from memory and (3) scanning documents for a different memory trans­mission, you can still (4) program the machine.

Super G3

Super G3 is an extension of Group 3 fax technology standards, allowing

the use of high-speed ITU-T V.34 modems for 33.6 Kbps transmission and
high-speed protocols for rapid handshaking.
JBIG — Joint Bi-level Image experts Group, the new ITU-T standard
image data compression method. As JBIG compresses the data more
efficiently than MMR, it is especially effective when transmitting halftone

(grayscale) image document.
