Safety instructions
Safety
instructions
Please read and follow all warning notices and
instructions.
The MF-jet 500 should be installed on a level and
stable surface. The surface should be smooth
and horizontal. The machine may be damaged
if it falls and may cause serious injury, especially
to small children. Place the MF-jet 500 at least
10 cm away from other electrical devices and
objects.
Do not place the MF-jet 500 in direct sunlight.
Do not place it near to a radiator, heater, radio,
television or air conditioning unit. Do not al-
low it to come into contact with dust, water or
chemicals.
Make sure that air can circulate freely around the
MF-jet 500. Do not operate the MF-jet 500 in en-
closed spaces such as boxes, cupboards, cabinets
etc. Do not cover the MF-jet 500. Do not place
the MF-jet 500 on soft surfaces such as beds, du-
vets, cushions, sofas or carpets as there is a risk
of overheating and fire.
Only use the power supply included with the
product. Using an unauthorised power supply
may damage the MF-jet 500.
Do not touch telephone wires or mains cables
where the insulation is missing or damaged un-
less they are already disconnected.
If the housing of your MF-jet 500 or the power
supply—in particular the power or telephone
cables—, are damaged, please unplug the MF-jet
500. The housing of the MF-jet 500 may only be
opened by authorised service personnel.
Unplug the MF-jet 500 from the mains and tel-
ephone line before cleaning. Do not use liquid
or aerosol cleaning agents such as sprays, or
polishes.
Do not expose the MF-jet 500 to rain or any
other form of moisture. There is a risk of electric
shock or fire. If any liquid is accidentally spilled
into the MF-jet 500, immediately remove the
power plug and have the MF-jet 500 profession-
ally inspected.
Your MF-jet 500 has been tested to EN 60950
or IEC 60950 and may only be operated on
telephone networks and power supplies that con-
form to these standards.
In a thunderstorm, disconnect the MF-jet 500
from both the mains and the telephone line. If
you are unable to disconnect the MF-jet 500,
avoid using the fax machine or the telephone
during the storm. There is a risk of electric
shock from lightning and risk of damage to the
machine.
Your MF-jet 500 is only intended for use in the
country in which it was purchased. It may only
be operated with telephone systems and power
equipment which meet these standards.

instructions of the manufacturer.
Do not load paper while the MF-jet 500 is print-
ing!

from a private branch exchange to the public
network you have to dial a key to obtain the
outside line.
(An additional telephone connected to a normal
telephone line together with your MF-jet 500
must not be confused with a private branch ex-
change.)

line. This is usually 0. Confirm with OK.
If the number of digits for an internal call is
exceeded, the prefix for an outside line will be
automatically added.
Country and language
These settings will determine the language of the
display and the local telephone network settings.

• pages that are smaller than A5.
• pages from newspapers (printer’s ink).
• stapled pages or pages with paper clips.
• creased or torn pages.
• wet pages or pages with corrections made
with correction fluid; dirty pages or pages
with a glossy or laminated surface.
