electronic parts. To avoid malfunctioning and
to ensure years of trouble free operation, we
want tot state you the precautions below. Pay
attention to the following:
Use of the DFM1000
For long periods, do not use
or leave the scanner in area’s
that are exposed to extreme
heat that is higher than 50 oC
- like direct sunlight, or near a
heater.Also do not expose
the scanner to freezing area’s.
Do not subject the scanner to
very strong impact, do not
throw or drop the scanner
from large heights.
Do not plug the DB25 male
connector of the scanner
directly into the RS232 or
parallel port from computer
