Setting up

Pick an installation spot

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

Clean — Dust build-up can damage your fax. (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 6 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.

Getting started

Installing the printing supplies

Your fax prints incoming faxes and copies with a reliable 600 dpi print engine. Your fax requires two types of printing supplies (sometimes also called consumables):

The drum cartridge — It yields 16,000 “normal” letter-sized printouts (see “Specifications,” page AI.2). By “normal,” we’re referring to the amount of text and/or graphics on each page. This is based on an industry-standard test docu- ment.

The toner cartridge — It yields 11,000 “normal”, letter-sized printouts (see “Specifications,” page AI.2).

To install these supplies:

Important: Gently close the top cover to avoid injury to your hands.

1 Open the top cover.

2 Pull up the printer cover release and open the printer cover.
