Welcome …
Thank you!
Thanks for selecting a Muratec fax machine for your
business.
Before you begin, please note that before your fax can be
used and before you can turn on power to the unit for the
first time, there are important precautions to take. Please
see page 1.7 for more information.

Before using your Muratec fax machine
Where to set up your fax machine
Follow these guidelines when setting up your fax machine:
Away from direct sunlight
To avoid overheating, set up your fax machine away
from direct sunlight or a heater.
Level, and vibration-free
To avoid damage to the machine or injuries, set the
fax machine up in a level, vibration-free location.
50 - 89.6 F
Avoid extreme high / low temperature
Use your fax machine within the temperature range
of 50º F to 89.6º F (10º C to 32º C).
Away from a television or radio
Many appliances and office equipment, including
televisions, radios, copy machines, air conditioners
and computers, can generate electronic noise that
can interfere with the operation of your fax
machine.
Clean
Dust buildup can damage your fax. Periodically
clean your fax machine as described in the operating
instructions. Do not use a dust cover, which can
cause damaging overheating.
Near a phone jack
Your fax machine uses a standard (modular) tele-
phone jack, also known as an RJ-11.
Space around the fax machine
To ensure proper ventilation and easy operation, set
up the machine in an area that meets the minimum
requirements for clearance as illustrated below.

Power requirements
General Precautions
Plug in the power cord
Plug the power cord carefully and completely into a
wall outlet. Do not leave any portion of the electrical
cord’s metal plugs exposed. Doing so could cause a
fire and poses a risk of electrical shock.
Do not share an extension cord
connector with other plugs
It can cause electrical shock.
Do not share an outlet with a large
appliance
High-consumption appliances such as a refrigerator
or air conditioner can cause “draw-downs” which
could damage your fax machine.
120 VAC outlet
Use a standard three-pronged 120 V electrical outlet
to power your fax machine. Using any other electri-
cal outlet will cause damage to your fax.
For domestic use only
Never use your fax machine outside the country in
which you purchased it. Doing so may violate
telecommunication and safety regulations of that
country, and variations in electrical and telephone
standards can cause poor performance and damage
to your fax.
AC 120V
Never disassemble your fax machine!
Disassembling your fax machine can cause serious
injury to you and damage to your fax. If service is
required, call your authorized Muratec dealer.
Keep away from liquids
Keep liquids and metal pins or other objects away
from your fax machine. If something falls into the
fax machine, remove the plug from the outlet, and
call your authorized Muratec dealer.
Never handle your fax machine or
power cord with wet hands
Never touch your fax machine or power cord if your
hands are wet.
During electrical storms, disconnect
the plug from the outlet
Electrical storms can cause electrical shock or
damage to the fax machine.
Do not put furniture or equipment on
the power cord
Do not put anything on or over the electrical power
cord, and do not route the power cord under rugs or
carpets. Doing so can damage the power cord or fax,
and can cause fire or electrical shock.
Avoid temperature fluctuations
Sudden changes in temperature can cause damag-
ing condensation to form inside your fax machine.
Allow clearance around the outlet
Don’t stack boxes or furniture around the outlet.
Use caution when carrying the fax
Lift and carry the fax machine as described in your
operating instructions. Some fax machines require
two people to safely and properly carry.
Use supplies manufactured
specifically for Muratec fax machines
Using toner cartridges and other supplies that are
not manufactured specifically for Muratec machines
may affect the operation of your unit.
Storing and handling toner cartridges
To avoid damage to your fax machine and to assure the best performance possible,
follow these guidelines when storing and handling toner cartridges:
Store the cartridge
Store toner cartridge at a constant temperature within a range of 50º F to 89.6º F
(10º C to 32º C). Do not store cartridges in locations subject to extreme fluctuation of
temperature and humidity.
Do not stand the cartridge on its end and do not store it
upside down.
Do not open the protective bag of the cartridge until you are
ready to install the cartridge.
Do not store cartridges in areas of:
• Direct sunlight
• Dusty conditions
• Near floppy disks or other computer media, computer screens, or any other mate-
rials sensitive to magnetic fields.
Do not burn toner cartridges!
The toner powder is extremely flammable. Exposure to
flame can cause toner cartridges to burn or explode, causing
serious injury.
Be careful not to get the toner powder in
your eyes.
If the toner powder gets in your eyes, wash your eyes well
and see a doctor.
Keep cartridges away from water or oil.
Do not expose cartridges to direct sunlight.
Do not expose toner cartridges to static or
other electrical shock.
