Safety Instructions
This product 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 product:
• Read the setup instructions in this manual carefully. Be sure to save it
for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the product itself.
• Unplug the machine before you clean it. Use only a damp cloth; do not
use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Place the machine on a firm, solid surface. If you put it on something
unsteady, it may fall and be damaged; if you place it on a soft surface,
such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may become blocked, causing the
machine to overheat.
• To protect the machine from overheating, make sure no openings are
blocked. Do not put the machine on or near a heat source, such as a
radiator or heat register. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Allow enough
room around the machine for adequate ventilation and easy access.
• Do not use the machine near water, or spill liquid of any kind into it.
• Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed on the back
of the machine. If you are not sure, check with your supplier or with
your local power provider.
• This machine has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety feature, and it will
only fit into an earthed outlet. If you can not plug it in, you probably
have an older, non-earthed outlet; contact an electrician to have the
outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the earthing.
• To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put anything on it or place
it where it will be walked on. If the cable becomes damaged or frayed,
replace it immediately.
• If you are using an extension cable or power strip with the machine,
make sure that the total current (amperes) required by all the equipment
on the extension is less than the extension's rating. The total ratings of
all equipment plugged into the outlet should not exceed 15 amperes.
• The power outlet into which you plug your machine must remain
accessible at all times.
• It is recommended that the machine be switched off prior to opening or
removing covers.
vi
English
• Lifting the top cover may expose hot surfaces. Hot surfaces are clearly
labelled. Do NOT touch them.
• Do not poke anything into any ventilation slots; you could receive an
electrical shock or cause a fire.
• Apart from the routine maintenance described in the accompanying
documentation, do not try to service the machine yourself; opening or
removing covers may expose you to shocks or other hazards.
• Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in the manual
as you may cause damage requiring extensive repair work.
If anything happens which indicates the machine is not working properly
or has been damaged, unplug it immediately and contact your supplier.
These are some of the things to look for:
• The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.
• Liquid has been spilled into the machine, or it has been exposed to
water.
• The machine has been dropped, or the cabinet is damaged.
• The machine does not function normally when you are following the
operating instructions.

Facsimile Functions
In this chapter…
The LCD display and some of the control panel keys provide you with
fingertip control of the operation of your fax machine. Although it may
seem a little complicated at first, you will soon become familiar with the
control menu system, described fully in this chapter.
The programming keys on the left side of the control panel are designed to
provide simple operation of the numerous functions provided by the
machine. The following offers a brief explanation of how to use these
keys.
Menus and Functions
The menu system is like a large table with four columns and many rows.
Each function of your facsimile machine is arranged across one row of the
table. Some functions require all four columns, while others only need two
or three. The MENU/EXIT, ENTER, and the four SHIFT keys (
keys allow navigation up, down and across the table for selecting functions
and their settings.
Each major function category is listed in the left-most column (level 1) of
the table. When you first press the MENU/EXIT key you enter the menu
system at this level. The function category (row) at which you enter
depends on whether or not a document is loaded in the document feeder.
Menu level 1
When first switched on, the machine will wait in standby mode, showing
the time, machine mode and amount of memory available. By pressing
MENU/EXIT, the machine will enter the menu at level 1(Menu mode).

To access functions in a stepwise manner, the procedure is like that
described for navigating the menu levels. Begin by pressing MENU/EXIT,
and then use the programming keys to locate, enter and set the desired
function.
Speed Access
If the function is assigned a speed access number, typing this number in at
the menu display prompt at level 1 will bring up the setting or registration
display in level 4 for direct access.
Notes:
1 Speed access numbers are only assigned to SETUP
menu functions (level 4.)
2 Speed access can only be initiated from the level 1.
3 Numbers must be entered in 2-digit form (i.e., 00-99)
4 Speed access numbers are set at the factory and cannot
be changed. Some numbers are not available depending
on the country in which a machine was purchased and
whether or not the machine is equipped with the
appropriate option(s).
