Getting started
Pick an installation spot
Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:
•
Clean — Dust build-up can damage your machine. (However, do not use a
cover!)
• In the open — Allow at least 30 cm of clearance around your machine. Be sure
that you never cover the machine. Its vents must be able to “breathe.”
• Away from direct sunlight — This helps avoid overheating.
• Dry — Avoid any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a water foun-
tain) could reach your fax machine.
• Level, and vibration-free.
• Near a phone jack — Your fax machine uses a standard (modular) telephone
jack, also known as an LJU.
• Near an AC power outlet — The AC power cord is about 1.5 metres long when
stretched to its limit, and the power cord should never be stretched to its limit.
Power tips
• Use a standard three-pronged 230 VAC outlet.
• Make sure the outlet isn’t controlled by a wall switch.
If it is, you’ll risk occasional shutoffs to the machine, causing you
to lose fax messages.
• Don’t use an outlet which also is supplying power to a
large appliance, such as a refrigerator or air conditioner.
Such high-consumption appliances can cause “draw-downs”
(temporary drops in the power available for other equipment on
the circuit) which could damage your fax machine.
• Use an electrical surge suppresser, preferably one which guards both tele-
phone and electrical lines. This device helps to shield your fax machine from
damaging high-voltage electrical surges.
Voltage requirements: 230 VAC ± 10%, 50– 60% Hz.

Installing the printing supplies
Your fax machine prints incoming faxes and copies with a laser print engine. The
engine requires two types of printing supplies (sometimes also called consumables):
•
The drum cartridge — It yields 20,000 normal A 4-sized printouts (see “Specifi-
cations,” page AI .1). By “normal,” we’re referring to the amount of text and/or
graphics on each page. This is based on an industry-standard test document.
• The toner cartridge — It yields 5,500 “normal”, A 4-sized printouts (see
“Specifications,” page AI .1).
Note: The toner cartridge included with your machine is a starter cartridge which
yields 3,600 printouts (see “Specifications,” page AI .1). Please purchase
regular, full-yield toner cartridges from your authorised Muratec dealer.
To install these supplies:
1 Press the printer cover
release and swing open
the printer cover.
2 Unpack the drum cartridge from its box.
Important: Shield the drum cartridge from light, especially strong
light. Later, if you have to remove the cartridge from the fax,
immediately wrap it in a thick cloth to protect it from light.
3 Put the drum cartridge into the printer
by aligning the cartridge’s protrusions
with the slits inside the printer frame.
Important: You must also reset the
drum counter. See
“Installing a new drum
cartridge” (page 1.7).
