TURNING THE POWER ON AND OFF
This machine has two power switches. The main power switch is at the bot\

•	In the event of a power failure or other reason that causes the machine to suddenly turn off, turn back on the power of the machine and then 
proceed to turn off the machine following the correct procedures. 
Switching off the main power switch or removing the power cord from the outlet while any of the indicators are lit or blinking may damage 
the hard drive and cause data to be lost.
•	Switch off both the [POWER] key () and the main power switch and unplug the power cord if you suspect a machine failure, if there is a 
bad thunderstorm nearby, or when you are moving the machine.
When using the fax or Internet fax function, always keep the main power switch in the “on” po\
