Important safety information
Be sure to save these instructions!
When using your facsimile equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including
the following:
• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunication line cord.
• Do not disassemble this machine or attempt any procedures not described in
this manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• This machine must only be connected to a 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded (3-prong)
outlet. Connecting it to any other kind of outlet will damage the machine and
invalidate the warranty.
• Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. For example,
do not use the machine near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool. Take care not to spill any liquids
on the machine.
• Use only the power cord provided with the facsimile machine. Do not use an AC
extension cord.
• Unplug the machine from the telephone jack and then the power outlet and
consult a qualified service representative if any of the following situations occur:
- Liquid has been spilled into the machine or the machine has been
exposed to rain or water.
- The machine produces odors, smoke, or unusual noises.
- The power cord is frayed or damaged.
- The machine has been dropped or the housing damaged.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not install the machine
where people may walk on the power cord.
3
• Never insert objects of any kind into slots or openings on the machine. This
could create a risk of fire or electric shock. If an object falls into the machine that
you cannot safely remove, unplug the machine and consult a qualified service
representative.
• Do not place this machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. The machine
could be seriously damaged if it falls.
• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
• The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily
accessible.
Important:
• This facsimile machine is not designed for use on a line which has call waiting,
call forwarding, or certain other special services offered by your telephone
company. If you attempt to use the fax machine in conjunction with any of these
services, you may experience errors during transmission and reception of
facsimile messages.
• This machine is not compatible with digital telephone systems.

Verification Stamp option
Note: This feature is available as an option. Consult your dealer if you wish to
use this feature.
When transmitting a document, you can have the fax machine stamp each
document page as it is scanned. After scanning, you can check to see if all
documents have been stamped to verify that no double feeds occurred. (A
double feed occurs when two pages are fed through the scanner at once,
which means that one of the pages is not scanned.)
To use this function, have your dealer install the Verification Stamp option, and
then set Option Setting 29 to ON as explained on page 114.

Installing the Print Cartridges
Installing the Print Cartridges
Follow the steps below to install or replace the toner and drum cartridges.
♦ The initial starter toner cartridge included with the fax machine can print
approximately 3000 letter-size pages (4% coverage of each page;
continuous printing).
♦ The replacement toner cartridge (FO-44ND/FO-50ND) can print
approximately 6000 letter-size pages.
♦ The drum cartridge (FO-47DR) can print approximately 20,000 letter-size
pages.
1 Press the cover release to open the
print compartment cover.
• Caution!
The fusing unit inside the print
compartment becomes very hot during
operation. Be careful not to touch the
inside of the compartment.
2 If you are replacing the toner cartridge,
remove the old cartridge and dispose
of it according to local regulations.
1. Installation
Go directly to Step 5 if you are only
replacing the toner cartridge and not
the drum cartridge.
• If you are replacing the drum cartridge
but not the toner cartridge, remove the
toner cartridge and place it on a sheet
of paper.
To make the cartridge more
compact for disposal, press
the buttons on the ends of the
handle and fold the handle
down.
