Important Information
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy
and if not installed and used properly, that is, in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference in
radio and television reception. It has been type tested and
found to comply with the limits for class B computing devices in
accordance with the specification in subpart J of part 15 of FCC
rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference in a residential installation. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partial
installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
■Reorient the receiving antenna,
■Relocate the peripheral away from the receiver,
■Move the peripheral away from the receiver
■Plug the peripheral into a different outlet, so that the peri-
pheral and receiver are on different branch circuits
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experi-
enced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
The user may find the following booklet, prepared by the Fe-
deral Communications Commission, helpful: “How to Identify
and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”.
This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Of-
fice, Washington DC 20402 Stock No. 004.000.00345.4.
WARNING: To comply with FCC regulations on electromagne-
tic interference for a class B computing device, the printer ca-
ble must be shielded. To assure compliance with FCC
regulations for a computing device, use a shielded interface
cable with a metal shell connector. The use of cables not pro-
perly shielded may result in violating FCC regulations.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the class B limits for ra-
dio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the ra-
dio interference regulations of the Canadian department of
communications.
This unit complies with DOC standard C108.8-M 1983
ATTENTION: Le présent appareil numérique n'ement pas de
bruits radioélectriques déspassant les limites applicables aux
appareils numériques de la classe B prescrites dans le règle-
ment sur le brouillage radio-électrique édicté par le minstère
des communications du Canada.
WARNING For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with same type and rating of fuse.
Only trained and qualified personnel may open covers or remove parts that are not explicitly shown and described in the User Guide
as being accessible to the operator.
ATTENTION Pour ne pas compromettre la protection contre les risques d'incendie, remplacer par un fusible de même type et de mêmes carac-
tèristiques nominales.
Seul un personnel qualifié et formé est habilité à démonter les sous-ensembles de la machine qui ne sont pas formellement indi-
qués dans le Manuel d'utilisation meme s'ils sont accessibles par l'opérateur.

`Placing the printer Place the printer on a solid, flat, surface, ensuring that the printer is positioned in
such a way that it can not topple, and that there is easy access to the control panel
and paper input devices. Also ensure that there is enough space for sufficient ven-
tilation and for the printed output:

Never place the printer in the vicinity of inflammable gas or explosive substances.
■Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight. If you cannot avoid placing the
printer near a window, protect it from the sunlight with a curtain.
■When connecting a computer to the printer, make sure not to exceed the maxi-
mum cable length (see User guide on the Online CD-ROM, Technical Specifi-
cations).
■Ensure sufficient distance between the printer and any heating devices/radia-
tors.
■Avoid exposing the printer to extreme temperature or air humidity fluctuations.
Above all take care to avoid the influence of dust.
■It is recommended to install the printer in a place which is acoustically isolated
from the workplace because of the noise it may produce.
Location Minimum space
