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 interference 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 the receiver.
Connect the equipment to 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.

Introduction
This Network Interface Card (NIC) is a multi protocol device that is designed to support an Ethernet connection exclusively with Minolta Page Works/Pro (18/18N/25) printers. This Network Interface Card (NIC) has the following features:
Auto recognition of 10Base2 and 10BaseT Ethernet types by the 10BaseT/2 Type card, and auto recognition of 10BaseT and 100BaseT Ethernet types by the 10/100BaseT Type card.
Fully transparent AppleTalk printing support for the Macintosh, including support for binary PostScript printing.
Peer-to-Peer (serverless) discov ery and printing from Windows 95 or Windo ws NT (4.0 or higher) workstations, without a No vell f ile server present and without using IP is made possible through using IPX.
Novell NetWare PSERVER on both bindery based and Novell Directory Services (NDS).
lpr/lpd over TCP/IP for UNIX platforms and Microsoft’s Win­dows.
Raw sockets support over selectable TCP/IP port with filters for selected UNIX environments.
