Your fax machine has been carefully designed to give you years of safe,
reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are
a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or
damaging the fax machine.
General
•Read this user's guide carefully and keep it in a safe but accessible
place so that you can use it for future reference.
•Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the fax
machine itself.
•Disconnect the fax machine before yo u clean it. DO NO T u se liquid
or aerosol cleaners to clean the fax machine.
•Place your fax machine on a f ir m, solid surf ace. If you place the fax
machine on something unsteady, it may fall and become damaged
or injure someone. If you place the fax machine on a soft surface,
such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may become blocked causing
the fax machine to overheat.
•Do not use your fax machine near water, or spill liquid of any kind
into it.
English
Installation hints
•Install your fax machine in a dust-free location away from direct
sunlight.
•Do not connect your fax machine to a power source that is used by
other equipment producing electrical noise (i.e., air conditioners,
etc.).
•Leave electronic adjustments to authorized service personnel.
•The LINE terminal connects your fax machine to a standard
telephone line. To avoid damage to your telephone system or to the
Safety1
fax machine, do not connect your fax machine into anything other
than a standard telephone socket.
•Your fax machine has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety feature and
it will only connect to an earthed outlet. If you cannot connect this
plug to your po wer o utl et , t hen it i s pos sib le that you have an older,
non-earthed outlet. Contact an electrician to have y our po wer outlet
replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the earthing.
•The electrical power outlet should be located near the fax machine
and should be easily accessible.
•The TEL ports on the back of the fax machine are only suitable for
2 wire devices. Not all standard telephones will respond to
incoming ringing when connected to an extension socket.
•This fax machine may not necessarily provide an effective handover of a call from a telephone connected to the same line.
•The operation of this fax machine on the same line as a telephon e or
other equipment with audible warning devices or automatic ring
detectors will rise to bell tinkle or noise and may cause false
tripping of the ring detector. Should such problems occur, the user
is not to contact the telephone company .
Operation & maintenance
•Use a dry cloth to clean the control panel and the main body of the
unit.
•Aside from the instructions specifically mentioned in this user’s
guide, your fax machine is not user serviceable. DO NOT attempt to
service the machine or lubricate moving parts by yourself.
•Disconnect the power cable before trying to remo ve any ob jects that
may have fallen into the machine.
•Immediately disconnect the fax machine if it becomes physically
damaged and arrange for its repair or disposal.
•When relocating your fax machine, always disconnect the
telephone line before disconnecting the power cable. When
reconnecting your fax machine, connect the power cable first, then
the telephone line.
•This fax machine is not intended to be used in parallel with any
other telephone devices.
2User’s Guide
Toner cartridge & image drum handling
•Leave unused toner cartridges and image drum units in their
packages until needed. When replacing a toner cartridge or image
unit, reuse the packaging to dispose of the old toner cartridge or
image drum unit.
•Do not expose the to ner cartridges and image drum units to lig ht for
more than five minutes. Never expose the green drum (inside the
image drum unit) to direct sunlight.
•Always hold the image drum unit by the ends - never by the middle.
Never touch the green drum inside the image drum unit.
•To avoid damage to the image drum unit, always use original Oki
toner cartridges.
•Exercise care when removing the toner cartridge. Do not let it touch
your clothing or porous ma terials. The toner powder causes
permanent stains.
•Small amounts of toner spilled on skin or clo thing can be readily
removed with soap and cold water. Using heated water will make
removing the stain much more difficult.
Emergency first aid
•
IF TONER IS SWALLOWED:
