• If you cannot make copies as you want because of paper type, paper size, or paper capacity
problems, use the recommended paper. See "Recommended Paper Sizes and Types", About This

• Using curled paper often causes misfeeds, soiled paper edges, or slipped positions while
performing staple or stack printing. When using curled paper, take the stiffness out of the paper
with your hands to straighten out the curl, or load the paper up side down. Also, lay paper on a flat
surface to prevent paper from curling, and do not lean it against the wall.

Turning Off the Main Power / In the Event of
Power Failure
The following notes concern power failure and turning off the machine.
• When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord.
Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire
or electric shock.
• Do not turn off the main power switch while the power indicator is lit or blinking. If you do, the hard
disk and memory may be damaged and failure could result.
• Turn off the main power switch before pulling out the plug. If you pull out the plug with the switch
on, the hard disk and memory may be damaged and failure could result.
• Make sure 100% is shown on the display before you unplug the machine. If a lower value is
shown, some data is currently present in memory.
• Right after a power failure, the internal battery needs to be sufficiently recharged to guard against
future data loss. Keep the machine plugged in and the main power switch on for about 24 hours
after the power loss.
Even if the main power switch is turned off, the contents of the machine memory (for example,
programmed numbers) will not be lost. However, if power is lost for about one hour because the main
power switch is turned off, there is a power cut, or the power cable is removed, contents of the Fax
memory are lost. Lost items will include any fax documents stored in memory using Memory
Transmission/Reception, or Memory Lock.
If a file was deleted from memory, a Power Failure Report is automatically printed as soon as the power
is restored.
This report can be used to identify lost files. If a memory stored for Memory Transmission was lost,
resend it. If a document received by Memory Reception or Substitute Reception was lost, ask the sender
to resend it.

When an Error Occurs Using Internet Fax
This section describes reports that the machine sends if an Internet Fax error occurs.
Error Mail Notification
The machine sends the Error Mail Notification to the sender when it is unable to successfully receive a
particular e-mail message. A "cc" of this notification is also sent to the administrator's e-mail address
when one is specified.
• If an incoming Internet Fax from another party bypasses the SMTP server, even if reception is not
successful, an Error Mail Notification is not sent to the sender.
• You can select to send Error Mail Notification by configuring the appropriate User Parameter. For
details about how to do this, see "Parameter Settings", Facsimile Reference.
• If Error Mail Notification cannot be sent, the Error Report (E-mail) is printed by the machine.
• If an error occurs when an e-mail is received via SMTP, the SMTP server sends an error e-mail to

6. Clearing Misfeeds
This chapter describes what to do when paper or originals misfeed (become jammed inside the
machine).
Removing Jammed Paper
This section describes how to locate and remove jammed paper.
• The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label indicating the
"hot surface." Otherwise, an injury might occur.
• Some of this machine's internal components get very hot. For this reason, take care when
removing misfed paper. Not doing so could result in burns.
• When clearing misfeeds, do not turn off the operation switch. If you do, your copy settings will be
lost.
• To prevent misfeeds, do not leave any torn scraps of paper inside the machine.
• Contact your service representative if misfeeds occur frequently.
• When removing jammed sheets, take care to touch only those areas explicitly indicated in the
manual.
• Do not remove the fusing unit. Doing so will result in loss of print quality.
• If the error message remains displayed even after you remove misfed paper, open and close the
front cover.
• If a detailed removal instruction appears on the right of the screen, follow it.
• You can also use the procedure indicated in [System Status] to remove jammed paper.
