Choosing a Location

Place your FAX/MFC on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the FAX/MFC near a telephone jack and a standard, grounded power outlet. Make sure nothing blocks the flow of air from the fan on the right side of the FAX/MFC.

Avoid placing your FAX/MFC in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators. Do not expose the FAX/ MFC to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust. Make sure nothing blocks the flow of air from the fan on the right side of the FAX/MFC. Do not connect your FAX/MFC to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not connect your FAX/MFC to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.
