Advice for Preparation and Simple Use Guide

Packing
Whenever you transport the machine, use the packing materials that came with your machine and
pack the machine correctly.
Choosing a Location
Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration
and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone socket and a standard, earthed Mains socket.
Avoid placing your machine in a busy area. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water,
chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or
dust. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic
timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit's memory. Do not connect your
machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might
disrupt the power supply. Avoid connecting the fax machine near to interference sources such as
speakers or the base units of cordless phones.

a power failure, all settings in the menus are stored permanently except for the settings that are valid
for the next fax only (e.g. contrast, overseas mode).
