Welcome to your Muratec fax machine!
We’ve divided these operating instructions into three sections.
Find your serial number and write it down
• “Getting started” (see page 1.1) covers only what you absolutely
have to know to use your machine immediately.
• “Beyond the basics” (see page 2.1) provides more details. When
you have time, look through it to learn more about your machine’s
many features, as well as fax in general.
• Finally, “Just in case … ” (see page 3.1) will help you decide what
to do if you ever have a problem with your machine. It also tells
you how to give it the kind of easy, sensible care that should help
keep troubles to a minimum.
The next two pages show the entire contents of these instructions.
Skim through them now if you’d like (they’ll prove more helpful as
time passes), or just go on past them to “Getting started” and, well,
get started!
And thanks for choosing Muratec.
Before you go any further, please note that
your machine’s serial number is located on the
bar code label as shown on the drawing at
right. Please write this number in the box at
the bottom of the page before you set up your
machine.
IC and ID Labels
Bar cord label
Close up, the bar code label looks something
like this:
D 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 * 8 C A
Important: This is not the exact number which appears on your machine’s label.
This only shows you how your label will look.
Please copy down your machine’s serial number below for future reference, and note
the machine’s model number.
My machine’s model number: F-65
