Notice
R CAUTION:
Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Shielded interconnect cables must be employed with this equipment to ensure
compliance with the pertinent RF emission limits governing this device.
Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect or DTMF signalling,
only the performance of the DTMF signalling is subject to regulatory require-
ments for correct operation. It is therefore strongly recommended that the equip-
ment is set to use DTMF signalling for access to public or private emergency
services. DTMF signalling also provides faster call set up.

-Notice about the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (Valid in USA
only).
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 among other things makes it
unlawful for any person to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless
such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmit-
ted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and
an identification of the business, other entity, or other individual sending the
message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business,
other entity or individual. This information is transmitted with your document
by the TTI (Transmit Terminal Identification) feature. In order for you to meet
the requirement, your machine must be programmed by following the instruc-
tions in the accompanying Operation Manual. In particular, please refer to the
chapter of Installation. Also refer to the TTI (Transmit Terminal Identification)
programming procedure to enter the business identification and telephone
number of the terminal or business. Do not forget to set the date and time.
Thank you.
Direct (or indirect reflected eye contact with the laser beam may cause serious eye dam-
age. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have been designed to prevent any
possible laser beam exposure to the operator.

ENERGY STAR Program
As an ENERGY STAR Partner, we have deter-
mined that this machine model meets the ENER-
GY STAR Guidelines for energy efficiency.
The ENERGY STAR Guidelines intend to establish an international energy-saving sys-
tem for developing and introducing energy-efficient office equipment to deal with en-
vironmental issues, such as global warming.
When a product meets the ENERGY STAR Guidelines for energy efficiency, the Part-
ner shall place the ENERGY STAR logo onto the machine model.
This product was designed to reduce the environmental impact associated with office
equipment by means of energy-saving features, such as Low-power mode.

iii
Energy Saving Modes
Energy Saving mode enables you to avoid using unnecessary power and econo-
mize on electricity. Although we recommend you use this mode from the view-
point of environmental consciousness, you can also turn it off.
When you install this machines for the first time, Energy Saving mode is turned
on by default.
Two types of Energy Saving mode are available:
• Fax Standby: Use when you receive faxes regularly.
• Energy Saving Standby: Use when you wish to economize on power con-
sumption.
Choose the one that best suits your circumstances.
Even though the operation panel display goes out in Energy Saving mode, Indi-
cators that flash or light during communication or reception still work. When the
Receive File indicator lights, exit Energy Saving mode and take the appropriate
action.
You can turn Energy Saving mode on or off with User Parameter Function 63.
When the machine is shipped, Energy Saving Standby is selected on.
The machine enters Energy Saving mode when:
• Nobody uses the machine for about 5 minutes (the machine automatically en-
ters Energy Saving mode)
• The user holds down the Energy Saver key for about 2 seconds.

❒After loading paper, press the Energy Saver key and check that "READY”is
shown on the display.
The manual Receiver indicator goes out in Energy Saving mode even if Manual
Receive is turned on.
Reception in Energy Saving mode
In Energy Saving mode, documents that have been stored in memory are still
sent and the machine can still receive messages.
When a message is received in Energy Saving mode, the machine prints it and
returns to Energy Saving mode.
Limitation
It is not possible to enter Energy Saving mode when an original is set.
Laser Safety:
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of
laser-based optical unit in the field. The optical housing unit can only be re-
paired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser sub-
system is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser
chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed
to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when
replacement or the optical subsystem is required.
Operator Safety :
This machine is considered a CDRH class I laser device, safe for office / EDP use.
The machine contains two 5-milliwat, 765 - 805 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs
laser diodes. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser beam might
cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have
been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
In accordance with IEC 60417, this machine uses the following symbols for the
main power switch:
•ameans POWER ON.
•bmeans POWER OFF.
