E-5
Reflected Light from the Sheet Surface
The sheet surface of the main unit has a white glaze and
when a projector or other optical equipment is projected, the
reflected light could result in eye fatigue or other symptoms,
so please be careful.
For model M-115, an image can be projected on the copyboard when you switch to the screen panel.
Also note that the light emitted from laser pointers can be
linked to unexpected accidents, so please refrain from using
them.
Do not use the included CD-ROM in a player
designed for audio CDs.
• Never use the included CD-ROM in a player designed for
audio CDs. Doing so could produce loud noises that could
impair your hearing. These noises can also damage your
speakers.
Installation
• When mounting on a wall, be sure to check first that the
wall surface is strong enough to support the total weight of
the main unit, mount fittings and printer for a long period
of time (including during earthquakes). If the wall is not
strong enough, reinforce it before mounting the unit.
• Getting water on or inside the unit etc., could lead to fire
or electric shock. Be particularly careful when using the
unit near a window when it is raining or snowing and when
using it near the shore of the ocean and lakes.
• Do not set the unit in hot places exposed to direct sunlight
or in places exposed to an air conditioner or heating duct.
Do not set the unit in places exposed to soot or humidity
(near humidifiers, etc.).
• When the power plug will be unplugged from the power
outlet, please place the Copyboard near the power outlet
so that it may be reached easily.
Preventing Tipping (for stand type units)
To prevent tipping, heed the instructions below. Tipping
could lead to personal injury or damage the unit.
• Use the unit on a flat floor.
• Be sure to attach the supplied stabilizers to the stand, and
lock the stoppers of the casters. Failing to do so could
result in the unit tipping and could lead to personal injury.
• Do not lean against the unit or apply excess force to the
top of the unit.
Cautions on Usage
• Take care that the unit does not get wet and that water
does not get inside. Do not place objects containing chemicals, water or other liquids (vases, potted plants, glasses,
cosmetics, etc.) on top of the unit. The liquid could spill
and get inside the unit, leading to fire or electric shock.
• When lifting the unit to adjust the height, etc., the unit
should be lifted by at least two persons to prevent it from
tipping and causing personal injury.
• Do not move the sheet with paper or other objects
attached to it. Doing so could cause damage.
• Do not wipe the unit or sheet with thinner, benzene, alcohol or other such products. Doing so could cause discoloration or damage the sheet.
• Only use markers designed exclusively for this product.
Using other markers could damage the sheet. Also note
that it may not be possible to erase the ink of other
markers.
• When moving the (stand type) unit, remove the stabilizers
and release the caster locks. Hold the sides of the main
unit and move it gently. Avoid shocks.
• When not using for long periods of time, for safety be sure
to unplug the AC power adapter from the power outlet.

operating instructions.
Handling the CD-ROM
• Do not touch the surface which has no printing (the surface on which the data is recorded). If this surface is dirty
the data will not be read properly.
Also, do not stick paper, stickers, etc., on the CD-ROM.
• Do not leave for long periods of time in places exposed to
direct sunlight or near heating appliances, and do not drop
or bend the CD-ROM. The disc may get warped, making it
impossible to read the data.

Main Functions
Text or images drawn on the copyboard’s sheet surface can be printed in color or black
and white on regular paper.
A press of the “Print” button on the operation panel quickly prints what has been hand written on the sheet surface
to regular LETTER or A4 size paper.
By mitigating the need to take notes, the participants of the meeting can concentrate on the agenda.
The paper printout can be written on and a stamp can also be affixed which is convenient if it is to be kept as a
record of the meeting, or circulated. The printer can continuously print a maximum of 20 sheets.
Text or images drawn on the copyboard’s sheet surface can be stored in a USB memory
device as image files.
When a USB memory device is inserted into the bottom of the control panel and the “Save” button is pressed, the
material drawn by hand on the sheet surface is stored as an image file in the USB memory device.
Text or images drawn on the copyboard’s sheet surface can be loaded directly onto a computer as image files.
The copyboard can be connected to a computer via USB cable and one page worth of material can be loaded onto
the computer as image data.
4 copyboard pages + 1 screen (model M-115)
In addition to the 4-page copyboard function, this model includes a screen designed for projecting images with a
regular or overhead projector. This screen can be selected at the touch of a button. A single machine serves as both
the copyboard and projector screen, saving space and preparation time.
* You cannot draw on the screen with markers. Also note that you cannot print images projected on the screen sur-
face or save them on a USB memory device or computer.
Maintenance-free, Low Power Consumption
RGB, 3-primary-color LEDs are used as the reading light source which means that there is no need to replace a fluorescent tube as with previous copyboard models. In addition, unlike fluorescent tubes, LEDs need only be lit when
reading the sheet surface which is reflected in low power consumption.

Operation Steps
The copyboard uses a CCD image sensor to read the diagrams and text that have been written down with special (4-color) markers, and accumulates the image data in internal memory.
Pressing the Print
button prints out the sheet surface image data from the printer, and pressing the Save
button stores the image data to USB memory.
Preparation
• Set up the newly purchased copyboard and connect a printer.
See a separate manual titled “Assembly and Setup Manual.”
• Connect a printer. See page E-15.
• Connect the supplied AC power adapter. See Page E-16.
• Set the time of the newly purchased copyboard. See Page E-17.
Draw on the Sheet Surface
Please draw with the special markers that have been supplied. To erase, use the supplied special
eraser. Please be sure to draw with the special markers. Failure to do so may result in a drawing
that cannot be erased or soiling of the sheet. To move the sheet manually (models M-11S and M11W only), see “Moving the Sheet Surface Manually” on page E-23.
When Not Using the Copyboard
(1) By all means, cleanly erase the drawing from the sheet surface with the special eraser. (Leaving the drawing for a
long period will make it harder to erase.)
(2) Press the ON/Standby
button of the copyboard and switch off the power (standby mode).
The power cannot be switched off while the USB memory remains installed. (This is a prevention function against
forgetting to unplug the USB memory.)
(3) Switch off the printer power.
Saving to USB Memory
(1) Press the ON/Standby button
of the copyboard to switch on the
power.
(2) Insert USB memory into the
Memory port (USB port) of the copyboard.
