Connecting the handset
See page 10 if your unit includes a handset.
Important:
R Before installing or removing the handset unit, be
sure to turn the power switch OFF.
Using network router/network hub (LAN supported
models only) (y)
R We recommend using network routers/network hubs
(D) under secure network environments. Consult
your network administrator for firewall settings, etc.
R The warranty does not cover damage due to security
problems or any inconveniences relating to it.
2.4 Turning the power ON/OFF
Turn the power switch to the ON position (A).

2. Installation and Preparation
2.5 Date and time (Fax or LAN supported models only) y
We recommend setting the date and time (feature #101).
The other party will receive your unit’s date and time as
the header information.
If you have subscribed to a Caller ID service (y)
The date and time will automatically set according to the
received caller information (feature #226).
2.6 Configuring the unit to access the LAN y
You can use a computer connected to the LAN for some
features of this unit (printer, scanner, etc.). To enable
these features, you need to set the IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway in the unit.
Important:
R Consult your network administrator when setting
the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway.
2.6.1 Setting up automatically with a DHCP server
If your network administrator manages the network with
a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server,
it will automatically assign an IP (Internet Protocol)
address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the unit.
1 After connecting the LAN cable to the unit and the
computer, turn the power switch ON.
R The IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway will be set automatically.
2 Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that
you want to use it with. See page 22 for details.
Note:
R You can connect two or more units and assign IP
addresses automatically with a DHCP server, but we
recommend assigning static IP addresses manually
for each unit to avoid network access and
configuration troubles.
2.6.2 Setting up manually
When your network administrator does not manage the
network with a DHCP server, you need to assign an IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway manually.

3.2 Loading recording paper
Note for recording paper:
R We recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and types of paper) on the unit before purchasing
large quantities.
R Do not use the following types of paper:
– Paper with cotton and/or fibre content that is over 20 %, such as letterhead paper or paper used for resumes
– Extremely smooth or shiny paper, or paper that is highly textured
– Coated, damaged or wrinkled paper
– Paper with foreign objects attached, such as tabs or staples
– Paper that has dust, lint or oil stains
– Paper that will melt, vaporize, discolour, scorch or emit dangerous fumes near 200 °C, such as vellum paper.
These materials may transfer onto the fusing roller and cause damage.
– Moist paper
– Inkjet paper
– Chemically treated paper such as carbon or carbonless duplicating paper
– Electrostatically charged paper
– Badly curled, creased or torn paper
– Paper with a coated surface
R Some paper is designed to be printed on only one side. Try printing on the other side of the paper if you are not
happy with the print quality, or if misfeeding occurs.
R For proper paper feeding and best print quality, we recommend using long-grained paper.
R Do not use paper of different types or thicknesses at the same time. This may cause paper jams.
R Do not re-use paper printed from this unit for another printing job (including other copiers or printers). This may
cause paper jams.
R To avoid curling, do not open paper packs until you are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper in the original
packaging, in a cool and dry location.
R For customers who live in high humidity areas: Please be sure to store paper in an air-conditioned room at all
times. If you print using moist paper, it may cause paper jam.
