ABOUT THE TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT OF 1991
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device, including FAX machines, to send any message unless such message 
clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or 
other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity , or individual. 
(The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.)
In order to program this information into your FAX machine, you should complete the following steps: 
See “Own Name and Destination Set” of User's Manual.
•  If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove 
it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.
•  Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•  Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet 
locations.
•  Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been 
disconnected at the network interface. • 
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
•  Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may 
be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
•  Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
•  Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. Take care not to spill any 
liquids on the machine.
•  Save these instructions.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the 
ACTA.
On this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the 
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company .
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone 
line.
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an 
incoming call.
In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the 
total RENs, contact the local telephone company.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product 
identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company may 
disconnect your service temporarily. If possible, They will notify you in advance. If advance 
notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible.  You will also be advised of your 
right to file a compliant with the FCC.

Do not install the machine in a location with poor air circulation.
A small amount of ozone is created inside the machine during printing. The amount 
of ozone created is not sufficient to be harmful; however, an unpleasant odor may be 
noticed during large copy runs, and thus the machine should be installed in a room 
with a ventilation fan or windows that provide sufficient air circulation. (The odor may 
occasionally cause headaches.)
Locations exposed to direct sunlight
Plastic parts may become deformed and dirty output may result.
Locations with ammonia gas
Installing the machine next to a diazo copy machine may cause dirty output. 
Locations subject to vibration.
Vibration may cause failure.
 WARNING
Do not install the machine on an unstable or slanted surface. Install the machine 
on a surface that can withstand the weight of the machine.
Risk of injury due to the machine falling or toppling.
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified 
voltage and current requirements. Also make certain the outlet is properly 
grounded. Do not use an extension cord or adapter to connect other devices 
to the power outlet used by the machine. Using an improper power supply may 
cause fire or electrical shock.
* For the power supply requirements, see the name plate in the lower left corner of the 
left side of the machine.
Near a wall
Be sure to leave the clearances shown right between the unit 
and the nearest wall or other surface.
For easy maintenance, you should also leave the clearances 
shown right around the unit.
Locations that are excessively hot, cold, humid, or dry. (near heaters, humidifiers, 
air conditioners, etc.)
