Caring for your fax machine

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

Although it requires little day-to-day care, you can take these simple precautions to keep it in top form:

Always make sure your fax machine is installed according to our specifications, including using an electrical surge suppressor. (If necessary, review “Pick an installation spot before going ahead,” page 1.6.)

Always use good, copier-quality paper.

Always clean your fax machine as needed (see “Cleaning tips,” below).

Never install your fax machine where it can overheat, gather dust or get splashed by any liquids (even water).

Cleaning tips

Here are some things to keep in mind about cleaning your fax machine:

Do clean it! Dust and dirt, especially around the fax machine’s air vents (see right column) can shorten your machine’s life.

Always unplug the fax machine before you clean it.

Never spray any cleaner DIRECTLY onto your fax machine. The drifting spray could damage components inside.

Never try to clean SEALED areas inside your fax machine. They’re sealed for a purpose: to protect your safety and the machine!

This tip applies only to cleaning external surfaces, such as the cover and handset

— use a mild cleaning solution sprayed onto a lint-free towel or cloth.

Always use a lint-free cloth (or swabs) moistened with alcohol to gently wipe components inside your machine. (See the next step also.)

In areas you can’t reach with swabs, always use dry, dust-free compressed air to gently blow away dust and other material.

Just in case …

Keep the air vents clean

As you’ll recall from page 1.6, you shouldn’t cover your machine or it may overheat. However, dust can build up and become a sort of “cover.” You already know not to locate your machine in a dusty area, but, any object out in the open obviously will gather dust as time passes.

So, be sure to clean your machine’s air vents periodically. When you do, use a vacuum cleaner or brush. (Do not wipe the air vents with a damp cloth!)

The air vents are located on the left side of the machine (as viewed from in front; the drawing below is a view from the machine’s left rear):
