Points to keep in mind when setting up
♦The fax must be installed on a level surface.
♦Keep the fax away from air conditioners, heaters, direct sunlight, and dust.
♦Provide easy access to the front, back, and sides of the fax. In particular,
keep the area in front of the fax clear, or the original document may jam as
it comes out after scanning.
♦If the fax is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that condensa-
tion may form on the reading glass, preventing proper scanning of docu-
ments for transmission. To remove the condensation, turn on the power and
wait approximately two hours before using the fax.
♦If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we
recommend that you install surge protectors for the power and telephone
lines. Surge protectors can be purchased at most telephone specialty stores.

Loading the Imaging Film
The printer unit in your fax creates printed text and images by applying heat to
the imaging film, which causes ink to be transferred from the film to the page.
Follow the steps below to install or replace the imaging film.
1
Press the release marked OPEN and
open the print compartment cover.
•Caution! The printing head (the strip
of metal on the underside of the cover)
applies heat to the imaging film. It
may be hot if a document has just been
printed.
2
If you are replacing the imaging film,
take the old film out of the printing com-
partment and remove the three (3) green
gears and the green flange from the ends
of the spools.
DO NOT DISCARD THE GREEN
GEARS AND THE GREEN
FLANGE!

Take the new film out of its package,
and insert two of the gears provided with
the fax into the ends of the spool with
film. Make sure that the two tabs on the
gears fit properly into the slots in the
ends of the spool.
•Do not yet remove the band which
holds the spools together.
4
Hold the empty spool so that the end
with only one slot is on the left, and
lower the spools into the front of the
printing compartment. The gears in the
ends of the spool with film should fit into
the slots on each side of the printing com-
partment.
5
Cut the band which holds the spools
together with scissors, and remove it.
Insert the remaining gear into the
right end of the empty spool and the
flange into the left end of the empty
spool. Make sure the tabs on the gear
and the flange fit into the slots in the
ends of the spool (the gear has two
tabs and the flange has one tab).

Connections
Connect the power cord, telephone line cord, and handset as shown below. If de-
sired, you can also connect an answering machine or an extension telephone to
your fax.
♦Connecting an answering machine to the fax will allow you to receive both
voice and fax messages on the same line while you are out. For details on
using this feature, see Chapter 7. (Note: Do not connect an answering ma-
chine to your fax if you will be using the distinctive ring feature described
in Chapter 2.)
♦You can connect an extension phone to the fax to make and receive calls
like any other extension phone on your line. For details on receiving faxes
from an extension phone, see Chapter 4, "Receiving Documents".
1
Plug the power cord into a 120 V,
60 Hz, grounded (3-prong) outlet.
Caution: Do not plug the power
cord into any other kind of outlet.
This will damage the machine and
is not covered under the warranty.

To connect an answering machine
or extension phone to the fax, first
remove the seal covering the TEL.
SET jack on the fax, and then insert
the line for the answering machine
or the extension phone into the
TEL. SET jack. For an answering
machine, the other end of the line
should be connected to the answer-
ing machine’s telephone line jack,
not its extension phone jack.
