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 (3­prong) 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.

5

• 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.

• 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.

Points to keep in mind when setting up

Do not place the machine in direct sunlight.

♦

Do not place the machine near heaters or air conditioners.

♦

Keep dust away from the machine.

♦

Install the machine on a level surface.

♦

Connecting the power cord

Connect the female end of the power cord to the fax machine as
shown. Insert the male end into a 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded (3-prong)
AC outlet.

Press the power
switch to turn on
the power.

Note: If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power
surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for the power and
telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased at most telephone spe­cialty stores.

16

Connections

Connecting the telephone line cord

Insert one end of the line cord into the jack on the back of the machine
marked TEL. LINE. Insert the other end into a standard (RJ11C)
single-line wall telephone jack.

Note: The fax machine is set for touch-tone dialing. If you are on a pulse
dial (rotary) line, you must set the fax machine for pulse dialing by
changing Option Setting 22. This procedure is described in Chapter 6,
Optional Settings.

Connecting a telephone (optional)

1. Installation

If desired, you can connect a telephone to the TEL. SET jack on the
back of the machine.

Attaching the document OUT tray

Insert the protrusion on the right side of the machine into the hole in

to the top of the machine.

Attaching the received document tray

Slide the received document tray into the machine as shown. When it
stops, lift the end slightly and push in so that the tray locks into place.

Make sure the left edge of
the tray fits into the slot.

Important!

The received document tray must be attached for the fax machine to
operate properly.

18

Verification Stamp (option)

Note: This function is available as an option. Consult your dealer if you
wish to use it.

When transmitting a document, you can have your fax 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 is 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 in Chapter
6, Optional Settings.
