Installation
For Your Safety: Installation Hints
• Install your fax machine in a dust-free location away from
direct sunlight.
• Do not plug your fax machine into a power source shared
by equipment that produces 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 fax machine, do not plug your
fax machine into anything other than a standard RJ-11C
jack.
• Your fax machine is intended to be grounded electrically
and is equipped with a three-wire grounded power cord.
For your safety, do not attempt to defeat your power
cord’s grounding plug.
• The power outlet should be located near the equipment
and should be easily accessible.
• The TEL port on the back of the unit is only suitable for
two-wire devices. Not all standard telephones will
respond to incoming ringing when connected to an
extension socket.
• This equipment may not necessarily provide for the
effective hand-over of a call from a telephone connected
to the same line.

Getting Started
To install your new fax machine, follow the instructions from
the “Unpacking” to the “Programming Required Information”
sections of this handbook. You must complete these steps for
your fax machine to operate properly.
If you have purchased an option package for your fax
machine, refer to the documentation you received with that
option for installation instructions.
Where to Install Your Fax Machine
• Place your fax machine in a dust-free location away from
direct sunlight.
• Allow several inches of space on each side of the machine
to ensure adequate ventilation.
• Make sure that both power and telephone outlets are
available nearby.
• Choose a location where the relative humidity is between
20% and 80%, and where the temperature is between 50°F
(10°C) and 92°F (32°C).
Unpacking
What You Should Receive
Before you begin, be sure that all the items listed below are
included in your package.
• Warranty, Regulatory Information, and Specifications
Refer to the illustrations in the “Getting to Know Your Fax
Machine” section of this handbook to identify the
components.
If any items are missing, contact your dealer
!
immediately. Keep your packing materials and carton in
case you ever need to ship or transport the unit.
Attaching the Document Stacker
Slip the document stacker indents over the tabs on the rear of
the unit so that they click into place.

4 Remove the protective sheet. Be careful not to touch the
green surface of the drum.
5 Replace the image drum cartridge.
Installing the Toner Cartridge
1 Remove the sponge and discard.
Warning: Be careful when handling the toner cartridge.
!
Do not let toner spill on your clothing or other porous
materials. If you experience any problems with toner,
refer to the “Safety, Handling the Consumables, Toner
Cartridge” section of this handbook.
2 Unwrap the toner cartridge and gently shake it to distribute
the toner. Then carefully peel the tape from the bottom of
the toner cartridge.

Toner Cartridge and Image Drum Unit
Handling
• Leave unused toner cartridges and image drum units in
their packages until needed.
• When replacing a toner cartridge or image drum unit, reuse the packaging to dispose of the old toner cartridge or
image drum unit.
• Do not expose these components to light 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 surface of the green drum inside the
image drum unit.
• Be careful when removing the toner cartridge. Do not let it
touch your clothing or porous materials. The toner powder
causes permanent stains.
• Small amounts of toner spilled on skin or clothing 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
Dilute by giving two glasses of water and induce vomiting by
administering Syrup of Ipecac (follow the manufacturer’s
instructions). Seek medical attention. Never attempt to induce
vomiting or give anything by mouth to a person who is
unconscious.
If toner is inhaled
Take person to an open area for fresh air. Seek medical
attention.
If toner gets in the eyes
Flush eyes with large quantities of cool water for 15 minutes,
keeping eyelids open with fingers. Seek medical attention.
For more information
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet in the Warranty,
Regulatory Information, and Specifications booklet.

Loading Paper
Your fax machine can hold up to 250 sheets of standard
weight (20 lb.) paper. For best results, use paper specially
made for laser printers or photocopiers. It can use letter, legal,
and A4 size paper.
Your fax machine automatically reduces the vertical length of
the page images it receives to fit on the paper loaded in it,
down to 75% of the original length. For example, if you are
receiving a document created originally on legal-size paper,
your fax machine can reduce the received pages to fit on
letter or A4 paper.
Your fax machine is set at the factory to use letter-size
!
paper. To use a different paper size, change the setting
of User Function 13, 1’ST PAPER SIZE to match your
new paper size. Refer to the “Setting Basic Features,
User Function Settings” section of this handbook.
1 Pull the paper tray out of the machine.
2 Adjust the paper guides to the width of your paper.
18
OKIFAX 5250

3 If necessary, lift and adjust for the length of your paper.
5 Remove the paper from its wrapper (up to 250 sheets).
Note the “print side” notice printed on the label. Fan the
paper.
6 Load the paper into the paper tray, print side DOWN.
4 If you are using legal-size paper, pull out the extension at
the back of the paper tray.
Be sure the paper is under the tabs on the sides of the
!
tray. Do not fill past the Paper Full mark. If necessary
readjust the guides for a snug–but not tight–fit.

7 Replace the paper tray. Push it forward until it locks.
Connecting the Telephone Line
Insert one end of the telephone cord into the LINE jack in the
back of the machine, and the other end into your wall
telephone jack.
Now, you can connect either an external telephone or
!
the external handset option for your fax machine. Refer
to the “Connecting an External Telephone or Answer
Machine” section of this handbook.

2 jack on the back of the fax machine, and the other end
into the jack in your external device.
• To connect both an answering machine and a telephone,
first connect your answering machine to your fax machine,
then plug your external telephone’s cord into the telephone
jack on your answering machine.
You must have the TAD mode feature turned on for an
!
answering machine to work with your fax machine.
Refer to the “Answering Mode, Setting the Answering
Mode” section of this handbook.

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
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.
