Points to keep in mind when setting up
♦ The fax must be installed on a level surface.
♦ Keep the fax away from air conditioners, heaters, direct sunlight, and dust.
♦ Provide easy access to the front, back, and sides of the fax. In particular, keep
the area in front of the fax clear, or the original document may jam as it
comes out after scanning.
♦ If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that con-
densation may form on the scanning glass, preventing proper scanning of
documents for transmission. To remove the condensation, turn on the power
and wait approximately two hours before using the machine.
♦ If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we rec-
ommend that you install surge protectors for the power and telephone lines.
Surge protectors can be purchased at most telephone specialty stores.

Loading the Imaging Film
The printer unit in your fax creates printed text and imag es by applyin g heat to
the imaging film, which causes ink to be transferred from the film to the page.
Follow the steps below to install or replace the imaging film.
Press the release button marked OPEN
1
and open the print compartment cover.
•••• Caution! The printing hea d (the strip
of metal on the underside of the cover)
applies heat to the imaging film. It
may be hot if a docum ent ha s just bee n
printed.
If you are replacing the imaging film,
2
take the old film out of the printing compartment and remove the three (3) green
gears and the green flange from the ends
of the spools.
DO NOT DISCARD THE GREEN
GEARS AND THE GREEN
FLANGE!

Take the new film out of its package,

and insert two of the gears provided with
the fax into the ends of the spool with
film. Make sure that the two tabs on the
gears fit properly into the slots in the
ends of the spool.
•••• Do not yet remove the band which
holds the spools together.
Hold the empty spool so that the end
4
with only one slot is on the left, and
lower the spools into the front of the
printing compartment. The gears in the
ends of the spool with film should fit into
the slots on each side of the printing compartment.

Pull the empty spool toward the back of
6
the compartment, unwinding the film as
you pull.
Insert the empty spool into the back of
7
the compartment so that the gear and the
flange fit into the slots on the sides of the
compartment.
•••• Make sure that the green gear engages
with the white gear below it.
Wind the film slightly (rotate the gear on
8
the right side of the empty spool) so that
there is no slack in the film. Make sure
that both edges of the film wind onto the
spool evenly.
