7. Your fax machine should never be placed on, near, or over a radiator, heater, air conditioner, or ventilation duct.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the AC power, telephone, or PC interface cords. Do not locate your fax machine where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.
9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish performance, and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
10. Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, telephone, or PC interface cords.
11. Never push objects of any kind into the fax machine through case or cabinet openings.
They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk fire or shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the fax machine.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the fax machine. Take it to a
qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly could cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.
13. Unplug the machine from the telephone jack, PC, and AC wall outlet, and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled into the product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the product does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.
• If the product has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.
• If the product exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.
14. Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage, and may require extensive work by a qualified service technician to restore the product to normal operation.
15. Avoid using this fax machine during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power, telephone, and PC interface cords for the duration of the lightning storm.
16. Never dispose of batteries or battery packs in a fire. There is a serious risk of explosion
and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals.
17. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
18. This equipment is not disigned for marking telephone calls when the power fails.
Alternative equipment should be made available for access to emergency service.

Guidelines for the paper
When selecting or loading paper, or other special media, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause
paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multiparty paper.
• Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed
lettering, perforations, or textures that are too smooth or too rough.
• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy
paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 392 oF (200 oC) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.
• Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heat-resistant
inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subject to the printer ’s approximately 392 oF (200 oC) fusing temperature for 0.1 second.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on
pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep paper away from moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
1.14
Setting up your machine
• During storage, moisture-proof wraping (any plastic container or bag)
should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.
• Always use paper and other media that conform with those listed under
‘Specifications’ on page 4.9.
