This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device, pursuant to Subpart B, Part 15, of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference from such equipment when it is operating in a commercial environment.

Users operating this equipment in a residential area are likely to cause interference, in which case they may be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

Canadian Department of Communications Regulations

Le présent appareil n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux de Classe A prescrites dans le règlement sur la brouillage radioélectrique édicté par Le Ministère des Communications du Canada.

This equipment does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian ICES-003.

FDA Regulations

This Printer is certiﬁed as a “Class 1” laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968.

Konica Force 85 Overview

The Force 85 Network Printing System provides high quality printing suitable for any IBMcompatible or Macintosh environment. The printer's main body engine works in conjunction with the new open architecture (NOA) of the print controller to provide a ﬂexible and modular way of customizing the language interpreter, the I/O and communication, and the system control. NOA supports a modular based object oriented system software that enables you to use special software modules developed for enhancing printing capabilities and/or for adjusting the IP system to meet special requirements.

The built-in electronic recirculating document handler (ERDH) provides dual access capability, enabling the printer to receive a job while another job is printing or rasterizing. This timesaving system allows you to work with optimal efﬁciency even when the printer is working at peak capacity.

The advanced ﬁnishing system of the Force 85 provides you with the option of sending print jobs to the output tray face down and in correct order.

The Force 85 printer is perfect for any work environment.

•use it as a non-network printer by connecting it to your PC with standard serial or parallel port cabling.

•install the optional network interface card and use it as a standard network printer supporting NetWare, AppleTalk (EtherTalk) or TCP/IP.

•install the Force 85 as a high-end network printer in an AS 400/IBM Host Environment.

Highlights of the Force 85 include:

•85 ppm

•600 dpi

•duplex mode

•3 standard paper trays plus a Multi-sheet bypass tray
