Control Panel

This section describes the names and usage of the parts of the control panel.

Important

  • The actual control panel may look different from the illustration below, depending on the country of use.

  • If the machine remains turned off for a certain period of time (for example, when the power switch is turned off or when there is a power failure), all documents stored in memory will be lost. If the Fax Received indicator is lit or flashing, make sure to print out the stored documents before turning off the power (for example, prior to relocating the machine).
