ENERGY STAR Program
As an ENERGY STAR Partner, we have determined that this machine model
meets the ENERGY STAR Guidelines for energy efficiency
The ENERGY STAR Guidelines intend to establish an international energy-sav-
ing system for developing and introducing energy-efficient office equipment to
deal with environmental issues, such as global warming. This product was de-
signed to reduce the environmental impact associated with fax equipment by
means of energy-saving features, such as Energy Saving Standby mode.
This fax automatically lowers its power consumption 5 minute after the last op-
eration has been completed by default. To exit low power mode, press the {

not use aluminum foil, carbon-
containing paper or other conduc-
tive paper. Otherwise, a fire might
occur.
IAfter you move the machine, fix it
with the caster fixture. Otherwise
the machine might move or come
down to cause a personal injury.

Power And Grounding
Power Supply
APower requirements: 220-240V,
50/60 Hz
BInsert the power plug securely into
the wall socket.
CMake sure that the wall outlet is
near the machine and readily ac-
cessible.
DDo not connect other equipment to
the same socket.
EDo not step on or set anything on
the power cord.
FDo not connect other equipment to
the same extension cord.
GBe sure that the power cord is not
in a position where it would trip
someone.
HThe wall outlet must be easily ac-
cessible.
IDo not damage, break or make any
modifications to the power cord.
Do not place heavy objects on it,
pull it hard or bend it more than
necessary. These actions could
cause and electric shock or fire.
JDo not plug or unplug the power
cord with wet hands or an electric
shock might occur.
KWhen you move the machine, un-
plug the power cord from the wall
outlet to avoid fire or electric
shock.
LWhen you pull out the plug from
the socket, grip the plug to avoid
damaging the cord and causing
fire or electric shock.
Grounding
Ground the machine and the light-
ning protection circuit in accordance
with regulations. Do not ground to
gas or water pipes, or to a telephone
ground plug. Proper grounding is to
the ground terminal of the power out-
let. Be sure that the ground terminal
of the power outlet is properly
grounded.
The lightning protection circuit for
the machine requires the machine to
be properly grounded. If proper
grounding is provided, about 90 % of
lightning damage can be prevented.
For safety, be sure to connect the ma-
chine to a three-prong grounded out-
let.

Other Important Informations
General
ASince some parts of the machine
are supplied with high voltage,
make sure that you do not attempt
any repairs or attempt to access
any part of the machine except
those described in this manual.
BDo not make modifications or re-
placements other than those men-
tioned in this manual.
CWhen not using the machine for a
long period, disconnect the power
cord.
DKeep the machine away from hu-
midity and dust. A fire or an elec-
tric shock might occur.
EDo not reuse stapled paper. Do not
use aluminum foil, carbon-con-
taining paper or other conductive
paper. Otherwise, a fire might oc-
cur.
FThis machine has been tested for
safety using this supplier's parts
and consumable. We recommend
you only use these specified sup-
plies.
GVentilate the room around every
half an hour during a long copy
run or while printing a long mes-
sage.
Ozone
The machine generates ozone during
operation. Normally, the ozone level
is safe for operators. However, dur-
ing a long copy run or while printing
a long message, ozone odor may ap-
pear; in such a case, ventilate the
room.
Cold Weather Power-up
Avoid raising the room temperature
abruptly when it is below 14°C, or
condensation may form inside the
machine.
ARaise the room temperature to
20°C at less than 10°C per hour.
BWait for 30 to 60 minutes.
CTurn the power on.
DDo not use the machine near a hu-
midifier.
Thunderstorms
With proper grounding, about 90 %
of lightning damage can be prevent-
ed. However, if possible, during se-
vere electric storms turn the power
switch off and disconnect the power
cord and telephone line cord.
Operating Precautions
• While the machine is in operation,
do not turn off the main switch or
unplug the power cord.
• Keep corrosive liquids, such as ac-
id, off the machine.
• Do not allow paper clips, staples,
or other small metallic objects to
fall inside the machine.
• The fusing unit may be very hot.
Be careful when handling it.
Copy Paper
• 60 to 90g/m2. copy paper is recom-
mended.
