1Remove the screws 
from the plugs and 
insert the plugs into 
the holes on the 
handset cradle.
3Use your finger to push 
the screws into the 
plugs.
• If you have difficulty, 
use a cross-point 
screwdriver to 
push 
the screws all the way 
into the plugs. (Do not 
screw them in as the 
screws may break.)
• Make sure you 
support the machine 
when inserting the 
screws.
2Insert the plugs (with 
the handset cradle) 
into the holes on the 
machine.
• If you have difficulty 
inserting the plugs,
turn the machine so 
that the left side is 
facing you and the 
right side is against 
a wall. You can now 
insert the plugs 
without the machine 
moving.4Place the handset in

•If you have connected an external device to your machine, be sure to set the correct
receive mode (1
Chapter 8).
•To connect an extension telephone as well as an answering machine, connect the extension
telephone to the answering machine, and then the answering machine to your machine.

Connecting the Power Cord
Before connecting the power cord, see Power Supply, p. 1-9.
Follow this procedure to connect the power cord:

•The machine is equipped with a three-prong, grounding-type plug provided with a third
(grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into your outlet, contact an electrician to replace the
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug by breaking off the
third prong or using a 3-to-2 adapter.
•Do not plug the machine into the same circuit as an appliance such as an air conditioner,
electric typewriter, television, or copier. Such devices generate electrical noise that can
interfere with your machine’s ability to send and receive faxes.
The machine has no power switch, so its power is on as long as it is plugged in. When
you connect the machine, the LCD displays these messages:
Machine is warming up.
Machine is in standby mode (date and receive mode
displayed) and ready for use.
If the cartridge has not been installed, this message
alternates with the standby mode display.

connect the other end into 
a properly grounded 120 V 
AC three-prong outlet.

Follow this procedure to connect the appropriate cable:
n
Make sure your PC is running Microsoft Windows®98/Me or Windows®2000/XP,
preinstalled by a computer manufacturer on purchase. (The USB port operation also needs
to be assured by the manufacturer.)
Remove the USB label.To ensure proper operation of 
the printer driver, connect the 
USB cable to the machine and 
PC during software installation

Installing the cartridge
This section describes how to install the cartridge in the machine for the very first time.
If you are replacing a used cartridge, see p. 12-6.
Before installing the cartridge, be sure to read the following:
•Use only FX3 cartridges in your machine.
•Keep the cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. The
magnet inside the cartridge may harm these items.
•Do not store the cartridge in direct sunlight.
•Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in
temperature. Store the cartridge between 32° and 95°F (0° and 35°C).
•Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for longer than five
minutes.
•Store the cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to
install the cartridge in the machine.
•Save the cartridge’s protective bag in case you need to repack and transport the
cartridge at a later date.
•Do not store the cartridge in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive gases
such as from aerosol sprays.
•Do not remove the cartridge from the machine unnecessarily.
•Do not open the drum protective shutter on the cartridge.
Print quality may deteriorate if the drum surface is exposed to
light or is damaged.
•Hold the cartridge by its handle so that your hand is 
not touching the drum protective shutter.
•Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it
upside down. If toner becomes caked in the cartridge, 
it may prove impossible to free it even by shaking the
cartridge.
c
Do not place the cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable. 
						

							2-14Setting Up Chapter 2 Follow this procedure to install the cartridge in the machine:
1Make sure the machine is plugged in.
2Lift the latch and open the front cover.
c
Do not try to open the front cover 
without lifting the latch since this
may damage your machine.
3Remove the new FX3 cartridge from
its protective bag.
•Save the protective bag in case you
need to repack the cartridge at a later
date.
4Gently rock the cartridge from 
side to side a few times to distribute
the toner evenly inside it.
•Poor print quality may result if the toner
is unequally distributed.

5Place and support the cartridge 
on a flat, clean surface, then gently
pull on the plastic tab to remove the
plastic seal.
•Use a firm, even pull to avoid breaking
the seal.
6Hold the cartridge by its handle 
and insert it into the machine as far as
it will go, making sure that its tabs are
aligned with the rails inside the
machine.
•Always hold the cartridge by its handle.
7Use both hands to close the front 
cover.

Loading Paper
This section explains how to load plain paper in the multi-purpose tray.
For complete details on paper and other print media for use with your machine, see
Chapter 5.
Before loading paper, be sure to read the following:
c
The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the paper. Use
paper that will not melt, vaporize, discolor, or emit dangerous fumes at temperatures
near 338°F (170°C). For example, do not use vellum paper in a laser printer. Make
sure any letterhead or colored paper you use can withstand high temperatures.
•Your machine supports regular copier paper, cotton bond paper, and typical letterhead
paper. It does not require special media. Use cut-sheet paper only, not paper that
comes on a roll.
•Be sure to load paper of the correct size, weight, and quantity recommended for your
machine (1
Chapter 5).
•The multi-purpose tray is factory-set for loading letter-size paper, but you can change
this setting to other paper sizes (1
p.5-9).
•You can choose whether paper is delivered through the face-up or face-down delivery
slot (1
p.5-7). Choose according to the print media and task you are performing.
•The face-down delivery slot can hold up to approximately 50 sheets of paper. To
prevent paper jams, remove paper from this slot before the count reaches 50.
•Do not load paper while the machine is printing.
•Do not leave paper stacked in the multi-purpose tray for long periods of time since it
may bend or curl and cause problems.
•Certain environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or humidity, can
cause some paper to misfeed in the multi-purpose tray. If you have trouble, feed one
sheet at a time.
•Take care not to drop any foreign objects into the multi-purpose tray.
•Avoid mixing new stock with paper 
already loaded in the multi-purpose tray.
Adding new stock without removing the
paper already loaded will cause paper
jams. If you must add new stock, remove
the loaded paper and reload it together
with the new stock.
