Just in case …
With proper installation and a little maintenance, your fax machine should give you
dependable service for years to come.
Follow these suggestions to keep it in top form:
• Always make sure your fax machine is installed according to our specifications,
including using an electrical surge suppressor. (If necessary, review “Pick an
installation spot before going ahead,” page 1.6.)
• Always use good, copier-quality paper.
• Always clean your fax machine as needed (see “Cleaning tips,” below).
• Never install your fax machine where it can overheat, gather dust or get
splashed by any liquids (even water).
Cleaning tips
Some things to keep in mind about cleaning your fax machine:
• Do clean it! Dust and dirt, especially around the fax machine’s air vents (see
right column) can shorten your machine’s life.
• Always unplug the fax machine before you clean it.
• Never spray any cleaner
DIRECTLY
onto your fax machine. The drifting
spray could damage components inside.
• Never try to clean
SEALED
areas inside your fax machine. This will protect
your safety and the safety of the machine.
• For cleaning external surfaces, such as the cover and handset, use a mild
cleaning solution sprayed onto a lint-free towel or cloth.
• Always use a lint-free cloth (or swabs) moistened with alcohol to gently wipe
components inside your machine.
• In areas you cannot reach with swabs, always use dry, dust-free compressed air
to gently blow away dust and other material.
Keep the air vents clean
Never cover your machine, or it may overheat.
Clean your machine’s air vents periodically. When you do, use a vacuum
cleaner or brush. (Do not wipe the air vents with a damp cloth!)
The air vents are located on the machine’s upper rear and lower rear sections:
