CHAPTER

This chapter tells you how to unpack, assemble, and connect your machine, install the toner cartridge, and load paper

— everything you need to know to get your machine ready to use.

Choosing a Location for Your Machine

Before unpacking your machine, follow these guidelines to choose an appropriate location for the machine.

CAUTION

Please review the information provided in “Safety Instructions,” on p. 1-6, to make sure you are installing your machine for safe use.

Put the machine in a cool, dry, clean, well ventilated place:

-Make sure the area is free from dust.

-Make sure the location is not affected by extreme temperature fluctuations, and remains between 10° and 32.5°C.

-Make sure the area’s relative humidity is always between 20% and 80%.

Keep the machine away from direct sunlight.

If possible, place the machine near an existing telephone outlet, to allow for an easy connection of the telephone line to the machine.

Place the machine near an electrical wall outlet that provides 200 to 240-volt AC (50 to 60 Hz) power.

Place the machine near the PC you will be connecting it to. Make sure you can reach it easily, as you will be using the machine as a printer, fax machine, copier, and telephone.

Do not plug the machine into the same circuit as an appliance such as an air conditioner, electric typewriter, television, or copier. Such devices generate electrical noise that can interfere with your machine’s ability to send or receive faxes.

Set the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support its weight (about 11 kg (12.1 kg for the FAX-L390 model)).
