Turning the FAX-900 and FAX-950 ON and OFF
1. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Your fax machine is designed to operate with the standard
power source for the country of destination when ordered.
Note Due to the different power specifications of various countries, operation of the fax machine
outside of the original country of destination may cause problems.
2. Turn ON (I) the fax machine by pressing the ON/OFF switch, located on the left rear corner of the fax machine.
The message display on the fax machine control panel will be lit when the fax machine is powered ON.
Whenever the fax machine is turned ON (I), the front panel display will first indicate the fax machine identification and
memory option. Then the display will instruct you to wait while it performs the built-in self-test routine. At comple-
tion of the self-test, the display will show a date and time. Instructions for entering or changing the date and time are
provided in chapter 3. The first time you turn the fax machine ON, the fax machine display will prompt you to load
paper and ink. A “beeping” noise will also be heard. Refer to the paper and ink cartridge loading procedures in chapter
2.
3. To turn OFF (O) the fax machine press the ON/OFF switch again.
