If toner spills on the floor or other places, wipe the toner gently with a damp rag or other cloth while using care not to scatter the toner.

Do not insert any object into a vent hole. Electric shock, fire, or injury may result.

If the cover becomes extremely hot, the machine emits smoke or odor, or you hear a strange sound, unplug the power plug from the outlet, and contact your dealer. Fire may result.

If liquid such as water gets inside the machine, unplug the power plug from the outlet, and contact your dealer. Fire may result.

If you drop a clip or other foreign objects into the machine, unplug the power plug from the outlet, and take the foreign objects out. Electric shock, fire, or injury may result.

Do not perform any operation or disassembly other than instructed in the user manual. Electric shock, fire, or injury may result.

If the machine is dropped or the cover is damaged, unplug the power plug from the outlet, and contact your dealer. Electric shock, fire, or injury may result.

Unplug the power plug regularly, and clean the bases of and in between the plug blades. If the power plug is left plugged into the outlet for an extended period of time, dust adheres on the bases of the plug blades, and a short may occur, possibly resulting in fire.

Do not place a cup filled with water or other objects on the machine. Electric shock or fire may result.

Do not let pet urine or other liquid get inside this machine, or allow this machine to get wet. Electric shock or fire may result.

When the machine cover is opened, do not touch the fuser unit. Burns may result.

Do not throw the toner cartridge or image drum into a fire. The toner may ignite, resulting in burns.

Do not connect the power cord, cables, or the ground wire in any way other than instructed in the user manual. Fire may result.

Connecting a Telephone Line

This section describes how to connect a telephone cable for fax transmissions.

The telephone line connection method varies depending on your environment. Connect the telephone cable that suits your environment by referring to the illustrations in this manual.

Set the telephone cable in the recess of the machine so that it is not to be loose.

• Always use the telephone cable which comes with the machine. Using another telephone cable may cause a malfunction.

• If a fax transmission or reception fails, set [Super G3] to [OFF].

• You cannot connect an ISDN line directly. To connect, use a terminal adapter (TA) and connect to the LINE connector of the machine.

Connecting to the Public Line (If Using Only for Faxes)

Plug one end of the included telephone cable (a) into the LINE connector (b)

of the machine and the other end into a public line (analog) (c).

Keep the cover of the "TEL connector" inserted.

• Connecting to the Public Line (If Using Only for Faxes)

• Connecting to the Public Line (If Connecting a Telephone to the Machine)

• Connecting the Optical IP telephone

• Connecting to the ADSL Environment

A telephone that is connected to the machine is called an external telephone.

2. Setting Up

Remove the telephone connector cover (d).

- 29 -

• Only one telephone can be connected to the machine.

• Do not connect the telephone to the machine in parallel. If you connect the telephone to the machine in parallel, the following problems occur, resulting in the machine not functioning correctly.

- If you pick up the handset of the telephone that is connected in parallel while the machine is sending or

receiving a fax, the fax image may be corrupted or a communication error may occur.

- If the incoming call is a voice call, the telephone may ring late or stop halfway, and if the incoming call is a

fax, the machine may not be able to receive the fax.

Connecting the Optical IP telephone

Plug the included telephone cable (a) that is connected to the Optical device

(IP telephone) (d) into the LINE connector (b) of the machine.

2. Setting Up

• If you connect a telephone with the fax function, disable the fax function of the telephone (disable fax reception) before using.

In the case of direct interconnection, separate construction work is required. Contact your telephone company.

Remove the telephone connector cover.

Plug the telephone cable (e) that is connected to an external telephone into

the TEL connector (c) of the machine.
