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 peripheral and re-
ceiver are on different branch circuits
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the fol-
lowing booklet, prepared by the Federal Communications Commission,
helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”.
This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office,
Washington DC 20402 Stock No. 004.000.00345.4.
WARNING: To comply with FCC regulations on electromagnetic interference for a class B computing device, the printer cable 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 properly shielded may result in violating FCC regulations.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the class B limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian department of communications.
This unit complies with DOC standard C108.8-M 1983

Installation Quick Start-up
➤ Placing your printer Place the printer on a solid, flat and non-slip surface in such a way that it cannot fall down. Make
sure to facilitate access to the control panel and the paper input trays and to leave sufficient space
for the paper ejected.
If you expect that frequent forward and reverse feeds will occur,
you should place the printer as shown in the figure, if possible.
When selecting the printer location, observe the following additional instructions:
STOP
Never place the printer in the vicinity of easily 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 the computer with the printer, make sure not to exceed the permitted cable
length (see
User Guide on the online CD-ROM, Technical specifications).
Ensure sufficient distance between the printer and any heating radiators.
Avoid exposing the printer to extreme temperature or air humidity fluctuations. Protect the
printer from 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.

Make sure that the device has been set to the correct voltage (e.g. 230 V in Europe, 120 V in the
USA). To do this, check the type plate above the power inlet at the back of the printer.
Never switch on the printer if the voltage setting is incorrect, since this may result in severe
damage.
You can set the printer to the correct mains voltage yourself. To
do this, cautiously place the printer on its back side.
