Specification No. C150-E045-03EN

This equiepment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device,pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communica­tions. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at
his own expense.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limit for radio noise emissions
from digital apparatus set out in the Radio interference Regulations of the
Canadian Department of Communications.

Le pésent appareil numérique n’ément pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant
les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescridtes dans
le Réglesment sur le brouillage radioélectrique dicté par le ministere des Commu­nications du Canada.

Units and Assemblies

This section shows the exterior view and assemblies of the scanner. This section also provides
names of each part and describes their functions.

Types

Both M3099EH and M3099GH have two types, 1000 sheets hopper type and 500 sheets hopper type. The
1000 sheets type has an extrusion endorser cover on the top of the unit and the 500 sheets type does not.
Therefore it is easy to tell one from another. Be aware that there may be a little difference in handling
between them.

WARNING

Place the machine with no portion of the scanner hangs over the desktop.
Never attempt to move or relocate the machine without help. And hold the

horizontal plane of the scanner bottom. (Not inclined plane)

ACHTUNG

Precautions

This section describes precautions when installing the scanner.

Do not install the scanner in the following places and environments.

• Place the scanner away from electrical noise sources, strong magnetic fields and air flow. If the scanner
is used near an air conditioner, copying machine, or TV set, the scanner may operate incorrectly.

• Keep the scanner out of the sun and away from heaters. These environments may shorten the scanner
life or cause hardware failures.

• Do not install the scanner in a place where vibrations may occur. This environment may cause hardware
failures or may cause the scanner to operate incorrectly.

• Do not install the scanner in a humid, dusty, or damp places. These environments may shorten the
scanner life or cause hardware failures. Do not place the scanner where liquid spills may occur.

Stellen Sie den Scanner sicher auf eine waagerechte, ebene Flache.
Bewegen Sie den Scanner nicht ohne Hilfe.

• Be aware of the static electricity. Be sure that the flooring and the desk are made of materials that do
not generate the static electricity.

See Chapter 5 SPECIFICATIONS for the informantion such as the size of the installation space.
