Getting started
Pick an installation spot
Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:
• Clean — Dust buildup can damage your machine. (However, do not use a cover!)
• In the open — Allow at least 12 inches 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 feet long when
stretched to its limit, and the power cord should never be stretched to its limit.
Power 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 occasional shutoffs to the machine, causing you
to lose fax messages.
• Don’t use an outlet which also is supplying power to a
large appliance, such as 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.

Removing the transport screws
Your fax machine is shipped with transport screws for protecting your fax machine’s
mirror carriage during shipping.
Important: Be sure that you do not turn the power on until after you have
removed the transport screws. Otherwise, damage could result.
1
Remove the four transport screws, as shown.
2
Get the protection seals from your manual kit, and attach one protection seal
on each transport screw’s now-open hole. This shields the hole while you are
using the machine.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU USE THE MACHINE, YOU MUST
TURN OFF THE TRANSPORT MODE (see page 1.12).
Note: Be sure to save the screws for reshipment. If you must ship your machine
for some reason, turn on the transport mode, turn the power off and then
undo the above procedure as follows:
— Remove the seals (reversing step 2);
— Reinstall the screws (reversing step 1).
