Setting up

Pick an installation spot before going ahead

To keep your fax machine in perfect working order, the location should be:
Clean — Dust build-up can damage your machine. (However, do not use a
cover, which can promote overheating! See next item.)
Open around the fax — Allow at least 16 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. If you have to
place the fax near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds to protect the fax
from direct sunlight.
Dry — Avoid any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a water
fountain) could reach your fax machine.
Level, and vibration-free.

with the operation of your fax machine.

Make sure the outlet isn't controlled by a wall switch. If it is, you'll risk
inadvertent shutoffs of your 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.
If at all possible, 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.
