Important Information
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference in radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for class B computing devices in accordance with the specification in subpart J of part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partial installation. If this equipment does cause 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 the receiving antenna,
Relocate the peripheral away from the receiver,
Move the peripheral away from the receiver
Plug the peripheral into a different outlet, so that the peripheral and receiver are on different branch circuits
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet, prepared by the Federal Communications Commission, helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”.
This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington DC 20402 Stock No. 004.000.00345.4. WARNING: To comply with FCC regulations on electromagnetic interference for a class B computing device, the printer cable must be shielded. To assure compliance with FCC regulations for a computing device, use a shielded interface cable with a metal shell connector. The use of cables not properly shielded may result in violating FCC regulations.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian department of communications.

Quick start-up |
Placing your printer Place the printer on a solid, flat, surface, ensuring that the printer is positioned in such a way that it can not topple, and that there is easy access to the control panel and paper input devices. Also ensure that there is sufficient space for the printed output.
If you expect that frequent forward and reverse feeds will occur, you should place the printer as shown in the figure, if possible.
STOP
When selecting the printer location, observe the following additional instructions:
Never place the printer in the vicinity of inflammable gas or explosive substances.
Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight. If you cannot avoid placing the printer near a window, protect it from the sunlight with a curtain.
When connecting a computer to the printer, make sure not to exceed the maximum cable length (see Reference Manual on the Online CD-ROM, Technical Specifications).
Ensure sufficient distance between the printer and any heating devices/radiators.
Avoid exposing the printer to extreme temperature or air humidity fluctuations. Protect the printer from dust.
It is recommended to install the printer in a place which is acoustically isolated from the workplace because of the noise it may produce.
