Important Information

FCC Note: (U.S. only)

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

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.

FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance,

follow the attached installation
instructions and use only shielded
interface cables with ferrite core when
connecting to computer or peripheral
devices.
Any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.

The Preheat function works so that high picture quality is
maintained when the surrounding temperature is low.
Therefore, even if pressing the [PRINT] button, the
operation may not start for a while. (Printing starts within
about 1 minute automatically.)

If the temperature of the main unit increases when
performing multiple copying, printing pauses automatically
to lower the temperature and the printing time becomes
longer. However, this is not a malfunction with the product.
≥In the case of printing when using a personal computer,

the message [Please wait until the temperature of
printer decreases.] is displayed on the monitor of the
personal computer.

≥In the case of printing with using a memory card, the

message [Please wait until the temperature decreases.]
is displayed on the monitor of a TV.

When using the Photo Printer with a PC Card (Especially
Hard Disk Type card), temperature on the surface of the
card may rise and it may become hot. Turn off the power
and remove the card after a while.
