FEATURES

Functional and Stylish

The M-10 appears in a new, stylish design.
The operation controls such as control panel, memory card slot, printer, and other parts have all been
positioned at the right side to make ease of use consistent with the clear-cut design.
The height of the copyboard can be adjusted 3 levels above and below the standard position.
In comparison with our series of products up until now (i.e., the BF-040 Series), the weight of the
copyboard is about 10 kg lighter which makes a wall mounted installation easy.

4-Color or Black & White Print with One Button

A press of the “COPY” button on the control panel of the copyboard permits a printout of whatever has
been drawn on the copyboard surface. A printer can be combined with the copyboard to suit the appli­cation or needs of the meeting room and provide either 4 colors for easy viewing or economic and
speedy monochrome.

Plain paper for easy to be Written on and Stored

The printer for the M-10 supports the use of regular paper. The printed paper can be written on directly
and stamps can also be applied so that the paper may be kept as a record of the meeting and may also
be circulated conveniently. The printer can print up to 20 sheets of the same item in one session.

One Button Stores the Board Contents in Memory

A press of the “MEMORY” button on the control panel of the copyboard permits the written board
surface to be stored in memory as is. This feature is cableless and there is no need for troublesome
connection work.

Personal Computers Can also Be Incorporated Simply

The memory card data can be incorporated simply, either using the card by itself, or via an optional
adapter. Simple connection can be made through a reader that supports USB for desktop computers,
or with a PC card adapter in the case of notebook computers. Portability is afforded even at your
outside destination since the data can be carried with you.

Simple Playback with an Internet Browser, and Easy Pasting to E-mail

Memory card data is in the PNG format, the international image format. Browser support is for Internet
Explorer 4.0 or later or Netscape Communication 4.04 or later. A double click permits display without
being aware of the software and the allows for easy pasting to the e-mail to the meeting participants as
well as placement on the home page for the intranet. Sharing and storage are possible without fuss
even at remote locations.

Density Adjustment

A density selection function offers distinct copies even for pale writing.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

The unit’s rear panel should never be opened by anyone other than a qualified serviceperson. There
are many high voltage parts inside the unit, and touching them is dangerous. For replacement of the
light source’s fluorescent bulb, internal inspections, adjustments, repairs or internal cleaning, please
contact your store of purchase.

CAUTION

Continued use of the unit under abnormal conditions (when the unit is emitting smoke, unusual
odors or sounds) could lead to fire or electric shocks.
If an abnormal condition should arise, turn off the unit’s power, then immediately unplug the power
cord from the AC outlet.
Check that no more smoke, etc., is being emitted, then contact a sales outlet for repairs.
Repairing the unit yourself is dangerous. Never attempt to do so.

WARNING

This is a FCC class A product. In a home environment this product may cause radio interference in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

This symbol warns the user that uninsulated voltage within the unit may have sufficient magnitude to cause electric
shock. Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind of contact with any part inside of this unit.

This symbol alerts the user that important literature concerning the operation and maintenance of this unit has been
included. Therefore, it should be read carefully in order to avoid any problems.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Heeding the safety precautions below will lengthen the product’s service life and prevent fires, electric shocks and injury. Read
these safety precautions carefully and be sure to heed them.

Power Supply

• Using at other than rated voltage could result in fire or electric shock.

Handling the Power Cord

• Damaging the power cord could lead to fire or electric shock.
* When installing, do not squeeze the power cord between the product and a wall, rack, etc.
* Do not modify or damage the power cord.
* Do not place heavy objects on the power cord or pull strongly on it.
* Do not place the power cord near heating appliances or otherwise heat it.
* When unplugging the power cord, always do so by pulling on the plug, not the cord.
If the power cord should be damaged, ask your store of purchase to replace it.

• If there is dust or metal objects on or near the power plug’s blades, unplug the power cord then wipe the blade area clean
using a dry cloth. Continued use without cleaning the plug could lead to fire or electric shock.

• Do not plug in or unplug the power cord with wet hands. Doing so could lead to electric shock.

• When moving the unit, turn off the power and be sure to unplug the power cord from the AC outlet first. Moving the unit with
the power cord plugged in could damage the cord, leading to fire or electric shock.

• Connect the power plug securely to the AC outlet, pressing the blades in to the hilt. Uncomplete plugging could cause heating
or attract dust, leading to fire. In addition, touching the plug’s blades could cause electric shock.

CARE AND CLEANING

Installation

•For stand type units, be sure to lock the casters.

• 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 over 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 wind coming directly from an air condi­tioner.
Do not set the unit in places exposed to soot or humidity (on kitchen counters, near humidifiers, etc.).

Preventing Tipping (for stand type units)

To prevent tipping, heed the instructions below. Tipping could lead to personal injury or damage the unit.

• Place the unit on a flat floor.

• Lock the casters when using the unit. When moving it, be sure to unlock the casters to prevent tipping.

• 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 a stand type unit, be sure to unlock the casters, then support the unit from both sides and move it gently and
carefully to avoid shocks.

• When not using the unit for long periods of time, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet for safety.

Cleaning

• If the sheet is dirty, wipe it clean using a damp, thoroughly wrung out cloth. For tough dirt, apply some diluted neutral
detergent to a cloth, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again to remove any detergent.
Wait until the sheet is completely dry before using it.

• Wipe of any marks from markers on the dust tray or the plastic frame using a damp, thoroughly wrung out cloth.
