•If ink gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediately and seek medical attention
if required.
•DO NOT remove ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them. If you do so, it may
reduce the ink quantity and the MFC will not know the quantity of ink left in the
cartridge.
•DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If you do so, the ink may spill when you take off the
sealing tape. If ink stains your body or clothing, wash with soap or detergent
immediately.
• If you install an ink cartridge in the wrong colour position, you must clean the print
head several times after correcting the cartridge installation and before you start
printing because the colours were mixed.
•Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the MFC and use it up within six months
of installation. Use unopened ink cartridge by the expiry date printed on the box.
• DO NOT refill the ink cartridges. Attempting to use refilled cartridges may cause
damage to the print head and will void your product warranty.
If the INK EMPTY XXXX error message is on the screen display after you have installed the
ink cartridges, check and make sure that the ink cartridges are installed correctly.

Advice for Preparation and Simple Use
Guide
Packing
Whenever you transport the MFC, use the packing materials that came with your MFC and pack the
MFC correctly.
Choosing a Location
Place your MFC on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and
shocks. Locate the MFC near a telephone socket and a standard, earthed electrical socket. Choose a
location where the temperature remains between 10°C and 32°C (50° – 90°F).
Avoid placing your MFC where it may be knocked. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners,
water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the MFC to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture
or dust. Do not connect your MFC to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic
timers as disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not connect your
MFC to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might
disrupt the power supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless
phones.
Connecting the Power Cord
Keep the MFC out of strong light such as direct sunlight.
•Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• Operating the MFC before you install the ink cartridges will permanently
damage the print head.
• The MFC must be fitted with an earthed plug.
• Since the MFC is earthed via the mains plug, you can protect yourself
frompotentially hazardous electricalconditions on thetelephone network
by keeping the power to your MFC on when you connect it to a telephone
line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move your MFC,
by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord.

Preparation and Simple Use Guide 9
PREPARATION
AND SIMPLE USE
Memory Storage
In the event of a power failure, all settings in the INITIAL SETUP, SETUP RECEIVE, SET
QUICK-DIAL, REMOTE FAX OPT, plus the COVERPG SETUP and COVERPAGE NOTE
(from SETUP SEND) functions are stored permanently.
Setting the Date and Time
Your MFC displays the date and time, and prints it on every fax you send.
In the event of a power failure, the MFC maintains date and time information for several hours. All
other settings remain unaffected.
If you have a bad telephone line connection, the other party might hear your voice echoed during the
call. Hang up and try the call again.
1 Press Menu, 1, 1, 2.
2 Enter the two digits of the year, and press Set. “01” is registered as 2001 in the machine.
3 Enter two digits for the month and press Set.
4 Enter two digits for the day and press Set.
5 Enter the time in 24 hour format and press Set.
6 Press Stop to exit.
If you need to remove the moulded mains plug in order to fit an appropriate
type, you must discard the moulded plug immediately having cut it off, in
order that it is not inadvertently inserted into a live socket, thus presenting
a shock hazard. The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured
in accordance with the following code.
• Green-and-yellow: Earth
• Blue: Neutral
• Brown: Live
As the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth
symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter “N” or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.

10
Setting the Station ID
You can store your name, fax number, and telephone number to be printed on the fax Cover Page,
and on all fax pages that you send. (See Electronic Cover Page in Chapter 6.)
It is important that you enter the fax and telephone numbers in the internationally standardized
format, i.e. in accordance with the following strict sequence:
- The “+” (plus) character (press key)
- Your Country Code (e.g. “44” for the United Kingdom, “41” for Switzerland)
- Your local area code minus any leading “0” (“9” in Spain)
- A space
- Your number on the local exchange, using spaces to aid readability as appropriate.
As an example, if your MFC is installed in the United Kingdom, is to be used for both fax and voice
calls, and your national telephone number is 0161 444 5555, then you must set the fax and telephone
number parts of your station ID as: [phone]
1 Press Menu, 1, 1, 3.
2 Enter your fax number (up to 20 digits) and press Set.
3 Enter your telephone number (up to 20 digits) and press Set.
4 Enter your name (up to 20 characters) using the dial pad and the chart. To enter a space press .
5 Press Set.
6 Press Stop.
Setting the Dialling Mode (Tone/Pulse)
Your MFC is initially set to TONE. If you are using a PULSE dial line, you can change the setting
to PULSE by following the steps below.
1 Press Menu, 1, 1, 1. The screen prompts you to select TONE or PULSE.
2 Use or to select the dialling mode.
3 Press Set when the screen displays the dialling mode you want.
4 Press Stop to exit.
Although this equipment can use either Pulse or Tone signalling, only the performance of the Tone
signalling is subject to regulatory requirements for correct operation. It is therefore strongly
recommended that the equipment is set to use the Tone signalling for access to public or private
emergency services. The Tone signalling also provides faster call set up.
■When you enter your name, (See Entering Text in Chapter 23.)
■
The telephone number you enter is used only for the Call Back Message and
Cover Page features.
■ If you do not enter a fax number, no additional information can be entered.
■ To enter a space, press once between numbers and twice between
characters.
■ If your Station ID has already been programmed, the screen prompts “ 1 ” to
make a change, or “
2 ” to exit without changing.

Preparation and Simple Use Guide 11
PREPARATION
AND SIMPLE USE
Setting the Document
■Documents must be between 14.8 and 21.6 cm wide, and 12.7 and 35.6 cm long. Your MFC
can scan an image 20.8 cm wide, regardless of how wide the paper is.
■Make sure you insert documents face down, top edge first.
■Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your document.
■The automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold up to 20 pages, feeding each one individually
through the MFC. Use standard (75 g/m2) paper when using the ADF; if you are using heavier
paper, feed each sheet individually to prevent paper jams.
■Press Resolution (before you send the fax) to select the resolution for the document you’re
sending.
Multi-Line Connections (PABXs)
Most offices use a central telephone system, or PABX. The MFC will work with most PABX or key
systems that allow a two-wire analogue connection. However, we recommend that you have a
separate telephone line for your MFC. You can then leave the MFC in Fax Mode to receive faxes
any time of day or night.
If you are installing the machine to work with a PABX:
1 It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circumstances with a PABX.
Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that handles your PABX.
2 If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is recommended that the
Receive Mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone
calls.
3 The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialling telephone service.
•DO NOT use curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped paper or paper with staples,
paper clips, paste or tape attached. DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper,
or fabric.
• Make sure documents written with ink are completely dry.
•To set different resolutions for each page of a multi page document, refer
to “Multiple Resolution Transmission”.

Using Extension Telephones
It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension telephones, or you intend to
add extension telephones to your line, in addition to your machine. While the simplest arrangement
is straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to why this arrangement will cause
unsatisfactory service, the most obvious of which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile
transmission by someone picking up an extension telephone in order to make an outgoing call.
Additionally, remote activation may not operate reliably in such a simple configuration.
This machine may also be set to make a delayed transmission (i.e. a transmission at a pre-set time).
This pre-set job may coincide with someone picking up an extension handset.
Such problems can easily be eliminated however, if you arrange modification of your extension
wiring circuit, such that extension devices are connected “downstream” of your machine, in a
master/slave configuration. In such a configuration, this machine can always detect whether a
telephone is in use, thus it will not attempt to seize the line during that time. This is known as
“telephone off-hook detection.”
The inadvisable configuration is shown in figure 1 below, and the recommended master/slave
configuration is shown in figure 2.
This new connection configuration can be arranged by your contacting BT, Kingston upon Hull
Telecommunications, your PABX maintainer or a qualified telephone installation company as
appropriate. Simply explained, the extension telephone circuit should be terminated on a normal
modular plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be inserted into the modular socket of the white
“T”-shaped connector provided as part of the line cord assembly.
