Getting started
Pick an installation spot before going ahead
Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:
• Clean — Dust buildup can damage your machine. (Still, do not use a cover! See
next item.)
• In the open — Allow at least 12″ of clearance around your machine. Be sure
that you never cover the machine. Its vents must be able to “breathe.”
• Away from direct sunlight — This helps avoid overheating.
• Dry — Avoid any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a water foun-
tain) could reach your fax machine.
• Level, and vibration-free.
• Near a phone jack — Your fax machine uses a standard (“modular”) telephone
jack, also known as an
RJ
-11.
• Near an
AC
power outlet — The
AC
power cord is about 5′ long when stretched
to its limit (and that’s not the way to handle a power cord).
Speaking of which …
Powerful tips
• Use a standard three-pronged 120
VAC
outlet.
• Make sure the outlet isn’t controlled by a wall switch.
If it is, you’ll risk inadvertent shutoffs of your machine, causing
you to lose fax messages.
• Don’t use an outlet which also is supplying power to a
large appliance, such a refrigerator or air conditioner.
Such high-consumption appliances can cause “draw-downs”
(temporary drops in the power available for other equipment on
the circuit) which could damage your fax machine.
• Use an electrical surge suppressor, preferably one which guards both tele-
phone and electrical lines. This device helps to shield your fax machine from
damaging high-voltage electrical surges.

Install the printing supplies
Your fax machine prints incoming faxes and copies with a laser print engine. The
engine requires two types of printing supplies (sometimes also called consumables):
• The drum cartridge — It yields 20,000 normal letter-sized printouts (see “Specifi-
cations,” page
AI
.1). By “normal,” we’re referring to the amount of text and/or
graphics on each page. This is based on an industry-standard test document.
• The toner cartridge — It yields 5,500 “normal”, letter-sized printouts (see
“Specifications,” page
AI
.1).
Note: The toner cartridge included with your machine is a starter cartridge which
yields 3,600 printouts (see “Specifications,” page
AI
.1). Please purchase
regular, full-yield toner cartridges from your authorized Muratec dealer.
Here’s how to install these supplies.
1
Swing open the printer
cover by pressing the
printer cover release.
2
Unpack the drum cartridge from its box.
Important: Shield the drum cartridge from light, especially strong
light. Later, if you have to remove the cartridge from the fax,
immediately wrap it in a thick cloth to protect it from light.
3
Put the drum cartridge into the printer
by aligning the cartridge’s protrusions
with the slits inside the printer frame.
Important: You must also reset the
drum counter. See “When
you install a new drum
cartridge …” (page 1.7).
