SAFETY INFORMATION

Laser Safety (110-120V Model only)

This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within the protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

CDRH Regulations (110-120V Model only)

The Center for Device and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the US Food and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured from August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The label shown below indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.

1. INSTALLING THE UPDATE DATA TO THE FACSIMILE EQUIPMENT

If the program version is updated or the main PCB is replaced, install the update program onto the flash ROM of the main PCB.

The program installation requires a PC/AT-compatible computer (which is capable of running MSDOS or its compatible OS).

Connecting the facsimile equipment to your computer

(1) Make sure that the equipment's power cord is unplugged from a wall socket. (2) Make sure that your computer is powered off. (3) Connect the interface cable to the parallel interface port on the back of the equipment and

secure it with the lock wires.

(4) Connect the other end of the interface cable to the printer port of your computer and secure

it with the two screws. (5) Power on your computer. (6) Plug the equipment's power cord into a wall socket.

II - 1

Installing the update data onto the flash ROM of the facsimile equipment

NOTE: The following is an installation procedure example on a PC that is running Windows 95/98. (1) Copy the update data and transfer utility onto the desired directory of the hard disk.

e.g., C:\UPDATE (2) Click the Start button, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt to open an MS-

DOS window. (3) Type the drive letter where the update data and transfer utility are located. In the above

example, type C:\ from the command line and press the ENTER key.

Then type CD UPDATE and press the ENTER key. (4) Check that your computer is connected with the facsimile equipment correctly. (5) To start the transfer utility transmitting the update data to the flash ROM of the facsimile

equipment, type the following:

ICEN filename /b

Then press the ENTER key.

During downloading, the equipment beeps intermittently.

Upon completion of the downloading, the equipment beeps continuously.

NOTE: If the facsimile equipment cannot return to the standby state after completion of

downloading, turn the power off and on.
