Points to keep in mind when setting up
¨The fax must be installed on a level surface.
¨Keep the fax away from air conditioners, heaters, direct sunlight, and dust.
¨Provide easy access to the front, back, and sides of the fax. In particular,
keep the area in front of the fax clear, or the original document may jam as
it comes out after scanning.
¨If the fax is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that condensa-
tion may form on the reading glass, preventing proper scanning of docu-
ments for transmission. To remove the condensation, turn on the power and
wait approximately two hours before using the fax.
¨If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we
recommend that you install surge protectors for the power and telephone
lines. Surge protectors can be purchased at most telephone specialty stores.

							Loading the Imaging Film
The printer unit in your fax creates printed text and images by applying heat to
the imaging film, which causes ink to be transferred from the film to the page.
Follow the steps below to install or replace the imaging film.
1Press the release marked OPEN and
open the print compartment cover.
· ·Caution! The printing head (the strip
of metal on the underside of the cover)
applies heat to the printing film. It may
be hot if a document has just been
printed.     
2If you are replacing the imaging film,
take the old film out of the printing com-
partment and remove the three (3) green
gears and the green flange from the ends
of the spools. 
DO NOT DISCARD THE GREEN
GEARS AND THE GREEN
FLANGE!

							3Take the new film out of its package,
and insert two of the gears provided with
the fax into the ends of the spool with
film.  Make sure that the two tabs on the
gears fit properly into the slots in the
ends of the spool.
· ·Do not yet remove the band which
holds the spools together.   
4Hold the empty spool so that the end
with only one slot is on the left, and
lower the spools into the front of the
printing compartment. The gears in the
ends of the spool with film should fit into
the slots on each side of the printing com-
partment. 
5Cut the band which holds the spools to-
gether with scissors, and remove it. Insert
the remaining gear into the right end of
the empty spool and the flange into the
left end of the empty spool. Make sure
the tabs on the gear and the flange fit into
the slots in the ends of the spool (the gear
has two tabs and the flange has one tab).

							6Pull the empty spool toward the back of
the compartment, unwinding the film as
you pull.
7Insert the empty spool into the back of
the compartment so that the gear and the
flange fit into the slots on the sides of the
compartment.   
· ·Make sure that the gear engages with
the gear below it.     
8Wind the film slightly (rotate the gear on
the right side of the empty spool) so that
there is no slack in the film. Make sure
that both edges of the film wind onto the
spool evenly.
