Getting started
Setting up
Pick an installation spot
Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:
• Clean — Dust buildup can damage your machine. (However, do not use a cover!)
• In the open — Allow at least 12 inches 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.
• Dry — Avoid any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a water foun-
tain) could reach your fax machine.
• Level, and vibration-free.
• Near a phone jack — Your fax machine uses a standard (modular) telephone
jack, also known as an RJ-11.
• Near an
power outlet — The

Power tips
• Use a standard three-pronged 120
• 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 tele-
phone and electrical lines. This device helps to shield your fax machine from
damaging high-voltage electrical surges.

Installing the printing supplies
Your fax machine prints incoming faxes and copies with a laser print engine. The
engine requires two types of printing supplies (sometimes also called consumables):
• The drum cartridge — It yields 20,000 normal letter-sized printouts (see "Specifi-
cations," page

• The toner cartridge — It yields 4,500 "normal", letter-sized printouts (see

yields 3,000 printouts (see "Specifications," page
