Safety Instructions
In order to avoid possible dangers, damage or malfunctions, please heed the following safety instructions for the
setup and operation of your fax machine.
Make sure that the fax machine is stable and secure,
on a smooth, level surface (do not place the machine
¿
on carpets or similar surfaces). If the fax machine should
fall, it can be damaged or can cause injury to people,
especially small children. e distance between the fax
machine and other appliances or objects, must be at least
15 centimetres. Position all cables in such a way that no
one will stumble on them, thus avoiding possible injuries
to persons and/or damage to the cables or to the fax ma-
chine itself.
low a space of at
least 30 centimetres
in front of
the fax machine,
since documents
and print-outs
are dispensed on
the front side of
the machine.
Always avoid direct sunlight as well as immediate proximity to heaters, air-conditioning units, radios, and television sets. If you use an additional cordless telephone,
you should maintain a distance of at least 15 centimetres
between the laser fax machine and the base station of the
cordless device. Otherwise, acoustic disturbances may occur in the cordless telephone device.
Do not allow children to handle the fax machine without
supervision. e packing materials should be kept out of
the hands of children.
e area in
which you oper-
¿
ate the fax machine
must be adequately
ventilated, especially
if the machine is
used frequently. Set
up your Laserfax machine in such a way
that the fl ow of the
exhaust air stream
points away from the
work station.
e fax machine may not be covered. Do not put
your fax machine in closed cabinets or boxes. Do
¿
not place the machine on soft surfaces such as carpets
or cushions and do not cover the ventilation slits. Otherwise, the fax machine can overheat and catch on fi re.
In the event that your fax machine becomes too hot, or
Al-
if you see smoke coming from the device, you must immediately pull the mains cable out of the power socket.
Have your fax machine examined by trained professionals at a technical service location.
Do not connect the telephone cord or mains cable
in areas where there is moisture of any kind. Never
¿
touch the mains cable, the mains connection or the telephone socket with wet hands.
Do not allow liquids or foreign parts to enter into the
fax machine! Otherwise, people using the device are
at risk to electric shocks. In addition, the fax machine
itself could suff er serious damage. Should liquids
foreign parts nevertheless enter into
the machine,
must immediately
pull out the mains
cable and have
your fax machine
examined by the
trained personnel
at a technical service site. Never leave
your fax machine
outside when it is
raining. During a
thunderstorm, you
should disconnect your fax machine from the electrical
power source and from the telephone network. If that is
not possible, then do not use your fax machine or make
any telephone calls. Otherwise, there is a risk of lightning
strikes to the user or damage to the fax machine. Before
cleaning the surface of the fax machine, disconnect the
device from the electrical power source and from the telephone network. Do not use any liquid or gaseous cleaning agents on your fax machine (sprays, abrasives, etc.)
and do not employ cleaning agents that contain alcohol.
If the casing
or the mains
¿
cable become damaged in any way,
please pull the
mains cable out of
the power socket.
Never touch telephone cords or
mains cables that
are not insulated
or whose insulation
has been damaged without fi rst disconnecting the telephone and mains cable from the network. Only trained
personnel from a technical service location may open the
housing of your fax machine.

Safety Instructions
Chapter Safety Instructions
Neither telephone nor fax will operate during power
failure.
¿
Never open the toner cartridge. If toner dust escapes, you should avoid allowing it to contact your
¿
skin and eyes. Store both new and used cartridges in a
place where they will not come into the hands of children. In case of a paper jam, do not forcefully remove the
paper, but rather carefully pull it out of the fax machine
and throw it away carefully: It is possible that the toner
may not be completely set on the print-out, and toner
dust could be released into the air. Do not inhale the
released toner dust. Remove the toner dust from clothing
or objects with cold water; hot water would only cause
the toner to set.
If the LCD should break, a mildly caustic liquid can
escape. Absolutely avoid all contact with your skin and
eyes.
Your fax machine has been tested in conformity
with standards EN 60950-1 and IEC 60950-1 and
¿
should only be operated with telephone systems and
power equipment that meet these standards. is fax machine was built exclusively for use in the indicated sales
region. It conforms to the regulations of the telephone
company of the country. Do not perform any other
adjustments and do not carry out any other procedures
apart from those described in this user manual.

Toner Cartridge
New Toner Cartridge
Before you can receive documents, make copies, or print,
a toner cartridge must be inserted into the fax machine.
Fore this reason, a starter cartridge is supplied with the
machine (this cartridge has a capacity of approximately
1,000 pages). e toner level memory for this starter
cartridge was set at the factory. e starter cartridge
need not be updated with a Plug’n’Print card. For each
additional toner cartridge that you insert into your fax
machine, you must update the toner level memory with
the Plug’n’Print card provided.

Paper
Before your fax machine will be ready to make copies
or receive faxes, you must load paper into the machine.
Use the following paper sizes: A4, 210 × 297 millimetres,
letter, 216 × 279 millimetres (8.5 × 11 inches), or legal,
216 × 356 millimetres (8.5 × 14 inches). Your fax machine
works with normal copier paper and with typewriter paper (60 to 90 g/m2). Please use only 90 g/m2 stock for
legal-sized paper. You can use paper of all three sizes as
input documents and as output paper.
Loading Paper Size A4

3 Remove the cover from the paper tray. Put in only as
much paper as will fi t under the raised limit markers on the upper edge of the paper tray (see also the
drawings on the cover of the paper tray). You can
load up to 250 sheets into the paper tray.
5 Press the paper down until the lever (A) snaps into
place at the rear of the paper tray.

Loading Letter-sized or Legal-sized
Paper
In order for you to be able to load paper into the paper
tray in the letter or legal format, you must adjust the paper tray to accommodate these formats. You can set the
width of the paper with the two movable borders located
in the rear portion of the paper tray. e length of the
paper tray can be set with the arrow key located at the
bottom of the paper tray.
For example, if you are going to receive a fax transmission in legal format that you would like to print out on
paper size A4, then set the device to 83 percent.

1 Adjusting the paper width: Pull out both of
the side borders. Turn the borders around so that
the imprint LT R faces inward toward the paper.
Insert the side borders back into position; they
must snap securely into place within the mountings. Always turn around both side borders!
Now you can use letter-sized paper, as well as legal-sized
paper since both formats have the same width. If you
would like once again to use A4 paper, simply turn the
side borders back around so that the imprint A4 can be
seen.
In order to do this, you need either an analogue adapter
or a connection for analogue terminals. For additional information, please consult the user manual of your ISDN
system or ask your telephone service provider.
