The equipment has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single
terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However, due to differences between
the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional
assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point.
In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.
Dieses Geraet wurde gemaess der Entscheidung 98/482/EG des Rates europaweit zur Anschaltung als einzelne
Endeinrichtung an das oeffentliche Fernsprechnetz zugelassen. Aufgrund der zwischen den oeffentlichen
Fernsprechnetzen verschiedener Staaten bestehenden Unterschiede stellt diese Zulassung an sich jedoch keine
unbedingte Gewaehr fuer einen erfolgreichen Betrieb des Geraets an jedem Netzabschlusspunkt dar.
Falls beim Betrieb Probleme auftreten, sollten Sie sich zunaechst an ihren Fachhaendler wenden.
Este equipo ha sido homologado de conformidad con la Decisión 98/482/CE del Consejo para la conexión
paneuropea de un terminal simple a la red telefónica pública conmutada (RTPC). No obstante, a la vista de las
diferencias que existen entre las RTPC que se ofrecen en diferentes países, la homologación no constituye por
sí sola una garantía incondicional de funcionamiento satisfactorio en todos los puntos de terminación de la red
de una RTPC.
En caso de surgir algún problema, procede ponerse en contacto en primer lugar con el proveedor del equipo.
Cet équipement a reçu l’agrément, conformément à la décision 98/482/CE du Conseil, concernant la connexion
paneuropéenne de terminal unique aux réseaux téléphoniques publics commutés (RTPC). Toutefois, comme il
existe des différences d’un pays à l’autre entre les RTPC, l’agrément en soi ne constitue pas une garantie
absolue de fonctionnement optimal à chaque point de terminaison du réseau RTPC.
En cas de problème, vous devez contacter en premier lieu votre fournisseur.
La presente apparecchiatura terminale è stata approvata in conformità della decisione 98/482/CE del Consiglio
per la connessione paneuropea come terminale singolo ad una rete analogica PSTN. A causa delle differenze
tra le reti dei differenti paesi, l’approvazione non garantisce però di per sé il funzionamento corretto in tutti i
punti di terminazione di rete PSTN.
In caso di problemi contattare in primo luogo il fornitore del prodotto.
Dit apparaat is goedgekeurd volgens Beschikking 98/482/EG van de Raad voor de pan-Europese aansluiting
van enkelvoudige eindapparatuur op het openbare geschakelde telefoonnetwerk (PSTN). Gezien de verschillen
tussen de individuele PSTN’s in de verschillende landen, biedt deze goedkeuring op zichzelf geen
onvoorwaardelijke garantie voor een succesvolle werking op elk PSTN-netwerkaansluitpunt.
Neem bij problemen in eerste instantie contact op met de leverancier van het apparaat.
Este equipamento foi aprovado para ligação pan-europeia de um único terminal à rede telefónica pública
comutada (RTPC) nos termos da Decisão 98/482/CE. No entanto, devido às diferenças existentes entre as
RTPC dos diversos países, a aprovação não garante incondicionalmente, por si só, um funcionamento correcto
em todos os pontos terminais da rede da RTPC.
Em caso de problemas, deve entrar-se em contacto, em primeiro lugar, com o fornecedor do equipamento.
Tämä laite on hyväksytty neuvoston päätöksen 98/482/EY mukaisesti liitettäväksi yksittäisenä laitteena yleiseen
kytkentäiseen puhelinverkkoon (PSTN) EU:n jäsenvaltioissa. Eri maiden yleisten kytkentäisten
puhelinverkkojen välillä on kuitenkin eroja, joten hyväksyntä ei sellaisenaan takaa häiriötöntä toimintaa kaikkien
yleisten kytkentäisten puhelinverkkojen liityntäpisteissä.
Ongelmien ilmetessä ottakaa viipymättä yhteyttä laitteen toimittajaan.
Utrustningen har godkänts i enlighet med rådets beslut 98/482/EG för alleuropeisk anslutning som enskild

INTRODUCTION
Important safety information
• If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your
telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.
• The AC power outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone sockets in wet locations unless the socket is specifically designed for wet locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the
network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
• Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet.Take care not to spill any liquids on the
machine.

ii
INSTALLATION
Your machine is affected by the environment in which it is installed. Do not install your machine in the following areas.
●Excessively hot, cold, humid, or dry areas (for
example, near stoves, humidifiers, or air
conditioners)
●This may result in damp paper, condensation within the
internal mechanisms, misfeeds, and dirty output.
(Operating Environment: 15˚C to 30˚C, 20 to 85% relative
humidity)
Also, in ultrasonic humidifiers, use purified water. If you
use tap water, mineral residue can form on internal
components of the machine, causing poor-quality output.
●Poorly ventilated areas
●When copying/printing, this machine emits ozone. The
amount of ozone emitted is not harmful, however, if
performing large copying/printing jobs and the smell of
ozone becomes objectionable, open a window or use a fan
to ventilate the area.
*If you place the machine near a window, make sure it is
not exposed to direct sunlight.
●Areas in direct sunlight
●Direct sunlight can distort the
plastic parts of the copier and
result in poor-quality output.
●Dusty areas
●If dust enters the internal parts of the copier, damage or
poor-quality output can result.
●Areas with high concentrations of ammonia
gas
●If you place the machine near another copier that emits
ammonia gas (such as one
used for copying drafting
paper),
poor-quality output can result.

iii
10 cm
●Close to walls
●
Place the rear of the copier at least 10 cm from the wall,
and leave enough space around the copier for comfortable
operation.
●Areas with excessive vibration
●
Excessive vibration can harm the machine.
INSTALLATION
Note
●Sometimes if the machine is plugged into an outlet that is
shared with lighting such as a lamp, the lights will dim or
flicker slightly. Plug the machine into an outlet that is not
shared with lighting.
●When moving the machine, always use two people lifting
with the recessed handholds on the sides of the cabinet.

iv
BEFORE USINGTHE FAX
There are several precautions you must take when using the fax function of this machine.
Please observe the following precautions.
About Entering Information ●●
●●
●Making Settings
Please see page 1-7 of this manual, the section "BEFORE STARTING ENTER YOUR INFORMATION AND MAKE
SETTINGS." Read this section, make the appropriate settings and enter the relevent information for your environment.
About the Internal Lithium Battery
The internal lithium battery is used to protect automatic dialling memories and various other settings.
●The lithium battery is slowly consumed during times when the power is switched off. (The battery is used even if you have
not made settings. When the power is switched on, there is little appreciable drain on the battery.)
●If the battery level becomes low, you can lose settings you have made, so keep a record of the settings by printing them out.
(See page 5-1)
●The life of the lithium battery is about 5 years if the power were always switched off.
●If the lithium battery needs to be replaced, contact your dealer. If the lithium battery is totally depleted, you cannot use the
fax function.
Additional Information
●During a lightning storm, remove the plug from the AC outlet. Information in memory and originals read in memory for
substitute reception are not lost.
●Always keep the power switch on. If you turn the power off, you cannot receive faxes.
