Getting started

Setting up

Pick an installation spot

Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:

•Clean — Dust build-up can damage your machine. (However, do not use a cover!)

•In the open — Allow at least 30 cm 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 LJU.

•Near an AC power outlet — The AC power cord is about 1.5 metres long when stretched to its limit, and the power cord should never be stretched to its limit.

Power tips

• Use a standard three-pronged230 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 suppresser, preferably one which guards both tele- phone and electrical lines. This device helps to shield your fax machine from damaging high-voltage electrical surges.

Installing 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 A4-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”, A4-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 authorised Muratec dealer.

To install these supplies:

1 Press the printer cover release and swing open the printer cover.

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 “Installing a new drum cartridge” (page 1.7).
