Connect the power cord
and telephone line
WARNING
• The machine must be fitted with an earthed
plug.
• Since the machine is grounded through the
power outlet, you can protect yourself from
potentially hazardous electrical conditions on
the telephone network by keeping the power
cord connected to your machine when you
connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you
can protect yourself when you want to move
your machine by disconnecting the telephone
line first and then the power cord.
aConnect the power cord.
bLift the scanner cover until it locks securely into
the open position.
cConnect the telephone line cord.
Connect one end of the telephone line cord to
the socket marked LINE on the machine.
Carefully guide the telephone line cord into the

Connect the other end to a modular wall
socket.
dGently close the scanner cover using the finger
holds on each side.
CAUTION
Be careful not to pinch your fingers when you
close the scanner cover.
Always use the finger holds provided on each side
of the scanner cover when opening and closing it.
NOTE
DO NOT connect the USB cable yet (if you are
using a USB cable).
NOTE
• If you do not plan to use the fax feature on this
machine, go to step 3on page 3.
• To prolong the life of the print head, provide the
best ink cartridge economy and maintain print
quality, we do not recommend unplugging the
machine frequently and/or leaving the machine
unplugged for extended periods of time. Each
time you plug the machine in, it automatically
cleans the print head, which uses some of your
ink.
We recommend using to power down the
machine. Using allows minimal power to
the machine, resulting in periodic, but less
frequent, cleaning of the print head.
IMPORTANT
The telephone line cord MUST be connected to
the socket marked LINE on the machine.
