Printed in China
These machines are made for use in the USA and CANADA only. We cannot recommend 
using them overseas because it may violate the Telecommunications Regulations of that 
country and the power requirements of your fax machine or multi-function center may not 
be compatible with the power available in foreign countries. Using USA or CANADA 
models overseas is at your own risk and will void your warranty.
