General precautions | Muratec MFX-1500 instruction

Getting started

General precautions

•To avoid serious injury, never disassemble the machine. Exposed power points inside the machine can cause electrical shock if you touch them.

•Never turn off the power switch (or disconnect the plug) or remove the paper cassette during printing. Either can cause the fax machine to jam.

•During thunderstorms, disconnect the machine’s plug from the AC power outlet (remember the instruction above: if the machine is printing, wait until the printing ends). Your fax can hold documents in the standard memory configuration for up to 100* hours.

*The machine’s backup battery must have been charged for at least 24 hours.

•Before you attach or remove the AC power cord from the power outlet, make sure that your hands are dry.

•To avoid paper jams, do not load wrinkled or curled paper in the machine. (This refers to both original documents and paper for printing.)

•Keep liquids and other cleaners away from your machine unless you’re

actually cleaning it as described in “Just in case” (see page 3.1 ff.).

•When you lift the machine, always hold and lift by the slot at right and left sides as shown in the illustration.

Important: Never grip and lift the machine by the panel or other parts; damage could result.

Note: As shown, it’s best if two people carry the fax machine.
