Legal and Safety
Information

FCC statement (for users in the United States)

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interference.

• This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfere nce
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
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 or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved b y the manufacturer fo r
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Shielded circular cable should be used for interfacing with the computer.

Precautions for Use

Any modification without prior permission may cause harmful interference.
If any modification/change is introduced to this equipment without prior

permission, the manufacturer cannot guarantee compliance with FCC
rules. To use equipment which does not comply with FCC rules is
prohibited.

Legal and Safety Information

Interface connectors

Safety information

IMPORTANT: Ensure the printer is powered off before connecting or

disconnecting an interface cable to the printer.

IMPORTANT: For protection against static discharge which may be
applied to the printer's internal electronics through the interface
connector(s), keep any interface connector which is not in use capped
using the protective cap supplied.

NOTE: Use shielded interface cable.

Laser safety

This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation
Performance Standard according to 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 protective housings and external covers, the
laser beam cannot escape from the printer during any phase of user
operation.

Laser notice

This printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS
21 CFR, Chapter I, Subchapter for Class I (1) laser products, and
elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the
requirements of IEC 825.

DANGER: CLASS 3B INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN

OPEN. AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO BEAM.

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures

other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.

and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on
August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured
after August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in
the United States. A label indicating compliance with the CDRH regulations
must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.

Legal and Safety Information

Ozone Concentration

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The printers generate ozone gas (O3) which may concentrate in the place
of installation and cause an unpleasant smell. To minimize concentration
of ozone gas to less than 0.1 ppm, we recommend the printer is not located
in a confined area where ventilation may be blocked.

1 Read all of these instructions and save these instructions for later

use.

2 Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning.
3 Do not use this product near water.
4 Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The

product may fall, causing serious damage to the product.

5 Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back are provided for

ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.
The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should
not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is
provided.

6 This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug

having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding­type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type
plug.

7 Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this

product where persons will walk on the cord.

8 If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the tot al

of the ampere ratings on the products plugged into the extension
cord do not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.

9 Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots

as they may touch dangerous voltage point s or short out parts that
could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the product.

10 Except as explained elsewhere in the Operation Guide, do not

attempt to service this product yourself. Removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage points or other risks. Refer all
servicing in those compartments to a service technician.

11 Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to

qualified a service technician under the following conditions:

- When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

- If liquid has been spilled into the product.

- If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

vi OPERATION GUIDE

Legal and Safety Information

- If the product does not operate normally when the operating
instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment
of other controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to
normal operation.

- If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
