Before plugging in the power cord, pull the scanner release toward you to release the scanner lock.

♦ Caution: Plugging in the power cord without releasing the scanner lock

may damage the machine.

Installation

1. Installation

If you need to move the machine (AM-300):

♦ After you have unplugged the power cord, push the scanner release back in

to lock the scanner.

♦ After moving, release the scanner lock first and then plug in the power cord.

If you need to move the machine (AM-400):

♦ In the event that you need to move the machine to a new location,

disconnect the telephone line cord before unplugging the power cord. After you have unplugged the power cord, push the scanner release back in to lock the scanner.

♦ After moving, release the scanner lock first and then plug in the power cord.

Connect the telephone line last.

Installation

Connecting the power cord

Plug the power cord into a 220 - 230 V, 50 Hz, earthed AC outlet (U.K., Eire: 230 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3-prong) outlet; Russia: 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, earthed outlet).

♦ Caution: Make sure the scanner has been released as explained on the

previous page before plugging in the power cord.

♦ The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily

accessible.

Note: The shape of the power plug varies by country.

Comments:

♦ The machine does not have a power on/off switch. The power is turned on

and off by simply plugging in or unplugging the power cord.

♦ Whenever you unplug the power cord, wait at least 5 seconds before

plugging it back in.

Other restrictions

♦ The scanner cannot recognise yellow, greenish yellow, or light blue ink.

♦ Ink, glue, and correcting fluid on documents must be dry before they pass

through the document feeder.

♦ All clips, staples, and pins must be removed from documents before loading

in the feeder. If these are not removed, they may damage the machine.

♦ Documents which are patched, taped, torn, smaller than the minimum size,

carbon backed, easily smudged, or have a slippery coated surface should be copied or faxed from the document glass.

Loading the Document

Up to 20 A4 size sheets can be placed in the auto document feeder at once. The sheets will automatically feed into the machine starting from the top sheet.

♦ If you need to send or copy more than the maximum number of sheets,

place the additional sheets gently and carefully in the feeder under the last sheet while the last sheet is being scanned. Do not try to force the sheets

in, as this may cause double-feeding or jamming.

♦ If your document consists of several large or thick sheets which must be

loaded one at a time, insert each sheet into the feeder as the previous sheet is being scanned. Insert gently to prevent double-feeding.

1 Adjust the document guides to the

width of your document.
