NOTE
• If you do not plan to use the fax feature on this 
machine, go to step 3 on page 4.
• To prolong the life of the print head, provide the 
best ink cartridge economy and maintain print 
quality, we do not recommend unplugging the 
machine frequently and/or leaving the machine 
unplugged for extended periods of time. Each 
time you plug the machine in, it automatically 
cleans the print heads, which uses some of 
your ink. 
We recommend using   to power down the 
machine. Using   allows minimal power to 
the machine, resulting in periodic, but less 
frequent, cleaning of the print heads.

The telephone line cord MUST be connected to
