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.

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

Handling the included AC adapter box

• An AC adapter box is provided with the copyboard for storing the AC power adapters of the copyboard and printer.

The AC power adapters and the power cords generate

heat. Place them sufficiently apart and do not bundle the cables together, or the adapters and cables could heat up, leading to fire.

• Do not place vases, potted plants, glasses, cosmetics or containers of chemicals or water on the printer table. The liquid could spill and get into the AC adapter box, leading to fire or electric shock.

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-125, 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

• Only a specially trained technician should install the set. Improper installation could lead to injury.

• 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.

Important Safety Information

E-6

Cleaning

• When the sheet has become soiled, wiping it with a moist cloth that has been wrung well, then before the sheet surface has dried wipe it dry with a soft, clean, dry cloth. After cleaning, allow the sheet to dry completely before use.

Do not use heavily soiled erasers, wet tissue, office clean-

ers, neutral detergent, or other cleaners.

• Do not wipe the copyboard or sheet with thinner, benzene, alcohol, etc. Doing so could cause discoloration or damage the sheet.

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

For cleaning of the printer, please refer to the printer’s

operating instructions.

• When the erasing surface of an eraser has become soiled, exchange the sponge with a spare one, and then use.

Using a soiled eraser will soil the sheet surface, and it will

be difficult to remove the soiled matter from the sheet.

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.

USB Memory

• The USB memory formats supported by the copyboard are FAT, and FAT 32. There are also types of USB memory that cannot be used by this unit. Check the PLUS Vision web site for types of USB memory that have been verified to work with the copyboard.

• As a provision against the unlikely event of a problem with or disappearance of the data saved in the USB memory, we recommend that the data be regularly saved to other media.

• PLUS Vision will not be responsible for the loss of content stored in the internal memory of this unit (i.e., images that have been read), or in USB memory.

USB Cables

When using a USB cable other than the one supplied with the Copyboard, use a USB shielded cable bearing the USBIF logo certification. Do not use the Copyboard connected to a USB hub. Improper operation may result.

Important Safety Information

Do not draw on the screen (model M-125)

The screen is designed exclusively for use with optical devices. If you draw on the screen, the ink cannot be erased with the included eraser. If you accidentally draw on the screen, wipe off the ink with a diluted solution of neutral detergent, then carefully wipe off any remaining detergent.

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.

When a USB memory device is inserted into the bottom of the control panel and the "Save" button on the control panel is pressed, the data drawn by hand on the sheet surface is stored on the USB memory device as an image file (in either PNG, JPEG or PDF format, selectable).

4 copyboard pages + 1 screen (model M-125)

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

surface 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.

Erase Reminder function

When turning off the power, if there is a page (sheet surface) you have forgotten to erase, the sheet automatically moves to the surface that is not yet erased and the power turns off.

Header/footer function

The included software can be used to insert text (titles, the company name, the date, etc.) or images in the margins at the top and bottom of the page and print or store the same data each time.

after turning off the power.

• The color of the images when printed in color or when saved in USB memory will differ somewhat from the marker colors.

• Blurred characters, thin lines, overlapping of markers and other factors can cause colors to differ in places and can also

result in portions that cannot be scanned successfully. When “Density” is set to “Dark”, the overall print may be dark and the ruled line may appear on the copy.

In the case of the combination of Dark and Color Mode, the black ink may be mixed into other color.

• The built-in memory accumulates the read data that was previously printed or stored in USB memory. This data is erased

when the power is switched off with the ON/Standby button.

• Press the Print button to perform the read operation. Pressing the Save button during printing will store the information in the USB memory after printing is completed. Press the Save button to perform the read operation. Pressing the Print button while storing the information in the USB memory will start the printing operation after storage is completed. This allows both printing and USB memory storage to be performed in a single reading operation.

Printing in the same ratio as the sheet surface (Model M-12W)

The M-12W has a wide screen, so when printing, the image is reduced in the horizontal direction and printed over the entire surface of the A4 sheet (so for example circles become ovals). If you wish to print with the same vertical-to-horizontal aspect ratio as the sheet surface (with the same image as on the sheet), change the printing ratio. Upon shipment from the factory (by default), the copyboard is set to compress the image in the horizontal direction.

Moving the sheet surface manually (Model M-12S/M-12W)

The sheet can be moved even when the power of the copyboard is switched off.

The sheet can be moved with your hand either in left or right. Please place your hand at the vertical center and move the sheet slowly. Quick movement can cause damage to the drive mechanism of the copyboard.

• When the Erase Reminder function is set to "Enable", the function may not operate properly if the sheet surface is moved by hand.

• For model M-125, do not move the sheet surface by hand. Doing so could damage the copyboard.

Saving Image Files on a Computer/Deleting Image Files

Examples of operations follow for saving the image files in the USB memory device to the hard disk of the personal computer, and for deleting the folder when the USB memory capacity is full. (There are various methods that can be used for saving and deleting including the use of Explorer.) See the instruction manual of your personal computer or the software that you are using for information about using a personal computer.

The copyboard's folder on the USB memory device is named "CB_image". The images are stored in this folder. By factory default set when the copyboard is purchased, the image files are named "PV-xxxxxxxx.png" (in PNG format), where "xxxxxxxx" is the date and number (for example (PV-08110801.png). The date is the date of shipment from the factory (in Japan Standard Time). If this differs from the current time in your location, change the copyboard's time. (See "Setting the Time" on page E-16.)

Plug the USB memory device into a USB port of the personal computer

When connecting to the personal computer for the first time, the installation of a USB driver is required. Follow the instructions manual of the USB memory device that you are using.

• Usually, with Windows 2000/XP/Vista the standard driver is installed automatically and is identified as “Removable disk” in “My Computer.”

Saving the image files of a USB memory device to a personal computer

1. Open “My Computer” and from within,

open the drive of the connected USB memory device.

The folder named “CB_image” is the saved data of the copyboard.

2. Store the “CB_image” folder in “My

Documents” or another location.

All of the data contained in “CB_image” will be stored.

Depending on the computer’s usage environment, these operations may not work properly. This could be the case for example:

• when several USB devices are connected simultaneously to the computer.

• when the USB device is connected to a USB hub or when it is connected using an extension cable.

Using USB Memory

Note

Notice

The format in which the image files are stored can be set to "PNG", "JPEG" or "PDF". The factory default is "PNG". This format can be changed either in the copyboard's function settings (see page E-29) or in TOOLBOX at "Function Settings" -> "Image File Format". (For instructions on operating TOOLBOX, see the separate "Software Operation Manual".)
