Caring for Your Fax Machine

With proper installation and a little maintenance, your Muratec fax machine should provide dependable service for years to come.

Although your fax machine requires little day-to-day care, you can take these simple precautions to keep it in top form.

Always...

•Always make sure your fax machine is installed according to Muratec specifications, including using an electrical surge suppresser. Review the requirements on page 1.10 before installing.

•Always use good, copier-quality paper.

•Always clean your fax as needed.

Never...

•Never install your fax where it can overheat, gather dust, or get splashed by water or other liquids.

Cleaning Tips

Always...

•Always unplug your unit first.

•For cleaning external surfaces only, such as the cover and handset, always use a mild cleaning solution sprayed onto a line-free towel or cloth.

•Always use a lint-free cloth or lint-free swabs moistened with alcohol to gently wipe components inside your fax.

•Always use dry, dust-free compressed air to gently blow dust and other material from areas you cannot reach with swabs.

And remember...

•Never spray any cleaner directly on your fax. The drifting spray could damage components inside your fax.

•Never attempt to clean inside sealed areas of your unit.

Corrective Cleaning

Following are some simple cleaning procedures for keeping your fax machine operating smoothly. Use each as the need arises.

Air vents

Excessive dust on the air vents can cause overheating, so remove dust periodically with a vacuum cleaner or brush. Also, remember not to locate your fax machine in a dusty area.

Note: Do not wipe with a damp cloth.
