TFX-1032 Fax Machine with Automatic Cutter (430-1204) Installation Faxback Doc. # 17230 READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION We have designed your fax machine to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device that you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device's Ringer Equivalence Number, or REN (the REN is shown on the back of your fax machine). If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five, your phones might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, disconnect one of the devices from the line. Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or moisture. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. This fax machine has been tested and found to comply with all applicable UL and FCC standards. CHOOSING A LOCATION Select a location for your fax machine that: Is not in direct sunlight. Is near an AC power outlet and modular phone line jack. Is at least 4 inches from other objects. Is not near heating or air conditioner units. Does not block the ventilation openings. Keeps cords out of the way of normal activities. Also note these important considerations: Do not place objects on top of or under the fax machine. Do not place the fax machine on a rugged surface or on thick carpet which might cause a jam when you feed a document. CONNECTING TO THE PHONE LINE Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the LINE jack on the back of the fax machine. Plug the cord's other end into a modular telephone line jack. NOTES: Your fax machine connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself or have the telephone company update it for you. Radio Shack stores sell jacks and adapters to convert older wiring methods to modular wiring. The telephone company charges to install the necessary jacks. The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C. CONNECTING TO POWER Plug the power cord into a standard grounded three-pin AC outlet. CAUTION: The polarized 3-pin plug only fits in 3-pin outlets. If the AC outlet does not have holes for all three pins, have an electrician install a properly grounded outlet for you. CONNECTING THE HANDSET Plug the handset's modular plug into the HANDSET jack on the left side of the fax machine. Place the handset in its cradle. CONNECTING AN EXTENSION PHONE OR ANSWERING MACHINE To connect an extension telephone or answering machine to your fax machine, plug one end of a modular cord into the EXT. TEL jack on the left side of the fax machine. Then plug the cord's other end into the telephone you want to use as an extension or into an answering machine. NOTE: Connecting the fax to an answering machine lets you use the answering machine feature. SETTING UP THE FAX MACHINE INSTALLING THE PAPER Follow these steps to install the paper roll.

Follow these tips while handling it: Store unused thermal paper away from high temperatures (158 degrees F or over) and high humidity. These can darken the paper. Store copies away from direct sunlight and at a temperature below 94 degrees F. Direct sunlight and high heat can fade the image. Avoid storing thermal copies next to blueprint (diazo) copies and plastic film or binders. The chemicals in these materials could fade the image. Avoid applying tape to image areas on copies. The chemicals in some transparent tape adhesives could fade the image. Avoid storing two copies with the images together. The printed images together. The printed image can transfer from one copy to the other. Do not touch the thermal paper with sweaty or dirty hands. SETTING THE DIALING MODE The TFX-1032 is factory-set to the tone dialing mode.
