Periodically clean your fax machine as described in the operating instruct o s Do not use a dust cover,which can cause in. damaging overheating. Away from direct sunlight To avoid overheating, set up your fax machine away from direct sunlight or a heater. Near a phone jack Level, and vibration-free To avoid damage to the machine or injuries, set the fax machine up in a level, vibration-free location. Your fax machine uses a standard (modular) telephone jack, also known as an RJ- . 11 Space around the fax machine Avoid extreme high / low temperature 50 - 89.6 F (10 - 32 C) Use your fax machine within the temperature range of 50" F to 89.6" F (10" C to 32" C). To ensure proper ventilation and easy operation, set up the machine in an area that meets the minimum requirements for clearance as illustrated below. 60 cm (23.6 inches) Away from a television or radio Many appliances and office equipment, including televisions, radios, copy machines, air conditioners and computers, can generate electronic noise that can interfere with the operation of your fax machine. 25 cm (9.8 inches) 15 cm (5.9 inches) 40 cm (15.7 inches) 40 cm (15.7 inches) Power requirements Plug in the power cord Plug the power cord carefully and completely into a wall outlet. Do not leave any portion of the electrical cord s metal plugs exposed. Doing so could cause a fire and poses a risk of electrical shock. General Precautions Never disassemble your fax machine! Disassembling your fax machine can cause serious injury to you and damage to your fax. If service is required, call your authorized Muratec dealer. Do not share an extension cord connector with other plugs It can cause electrical shock. Keep away from liquids Keep liquids and metal pins or other objects away from your fax machine. If something falls into the fax machine, remove the plug from the outlet, and call your authorized Muratec dealer. Do not share an outlet with a large appliance High-consumption appliances such as a refrigerator or air conditioner can cause draw-downs which could damage your fax machine. Never handle your fax machine or power cord with wet hands Never touch your fax machine or power cord if your hands are wet. 120 AC 120V VA C outlet During electrical storms, disconnect the plug from the outlet Electrical storms can cause electrical shock or damage to the fax machine. Use a standard three-pronged 120 V electrical outlet to power your fax machine. Using any other electrical outlet will cause damage to your fax. For domestic use only Never use your fax machine outside the country in which you purchased it. Doing so may violate telecommunication and safety regulations of that country, and variations in electrical and telephone standards can cause poor performance and damage to your fax. Do not put furniture or equipment on the power cord Do not put anything on or over the electrical power cord, and do not route the power cord under rugs or carpets. Doing so can damage the power cord or fax, and can cause fire or electrical shock. Storing and handling toner and drum cartridges To avoid damage to your fax machine and to assure the best performance possible, follow these guidelines when storing and handling toner and drum cartridges: Store the cartridge Store the cartridge at a constant temperature within a range of 32" F to 95" F (0" C to 35" C). To avoid dew do not store cartridges in locations subject to extreme fluctuation of temperature and humidity. Avoid temperature fluctuations Sudden changes in temperature can cause damaging condensation to form inside your fax machine. Do not stand the cartridge on its end and do not store it upside down. Do not open the protective bag of the cartridge until you are ready to install the cartridge. Allow clearance around the outlet Don t stack boxes or furniture around the outlet. Do not store cartridges in areas of: Direct sunlight Dusty conditions Near floppy disks or other computer media, computer screens, or any other materials sensitive to magnetic fields. DO NOT BURN TONER CARTRIDGES! Use caution when carrying the fax Lft and carry the fax machine as described in your i operating instructions. Some fax machines require two people to safely and properly carry. The toner powder is extremely flammable. Exposure to flame can cause toner cartridges to burn or explode, causing serious injury. Be careful not to get the toner powder in your eyes. If the toner powder gets in your eyes, wash your eyes well and see a doctor. Use supplies manufactured specifically for Muratec fax machines Using toner cartridges and other supplies that are not manufactured specifically for Muratec machines may a ffect the operation of your unit. Keep cartridges away from water or oil. Do not expose cartridges to direct sunlight. Do not expose the cartridges to static or other electrical shock. This page intentionally blank.

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 telephone and electrical lines. This device helps to shield your fax machine from damaging high-voltage electrical surges. 2 After unlocking the mirror carriage, secure the mirror carriage locking plate mounting screw. IMPORTA N T: BEFORE YOU USE THE MACHINE, YOU MUST TURN OFF THE TRANSPORT MODE (see page 1.8).
