The optional 500-Sheet Paper Cassette

Unit adds 5.1 in. (130 mm) to the
bottom of the CX11N.

Follow these precautions when placing the CX11N:

■ Place the CX11N where you can easily unplug the power cord.

■ Keep the entire computer and CX11N system away from potential sources of

interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

■ Avoid using an electrical outlet that is controlled by wall switches or automatic

timers. Accidental disruption of power can erase valuable information in your
computer’s and CX11N’s memory.

Caution:

Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.

Avoid using outlets that other appliances are plugged into.
