UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Intentional emitter per FCC Part 15
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band, may be 
present (embedded) in your printer system. This section is only applicable if these devices are present. Refer to the system label to verify the 
presence of wireless devices.
Wireless devices that may be in your system are only qualified for use in the United States of America if an FCC ID number is on the system 
label.
The FCC has set a general guideline of 20 cm (8 inches) separation between the device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the 
body (this does not include extremities). This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on. 
The power output of the wireless device (or devices), which may be embedded in your printer, is well below the RF exposure limits as set by 
the FCC.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and(2) this device must 
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use 
it. Contact manufacturer for service.
FCC Statement for Wireless LAN use:
While installing and operating this transmitter and antenna combination the radio frequency exposure limit of 1mW/cm2 may be exceeded at 
distances close to the antenna installed. Therefore, the user must maintain a minimum distance of 20cm from the antenna at all times. This 
device cannot be colocated with another transmitter and transmitting antenna.
FAX BRANDING
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any 
message via a telephone facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or 
on the first page of the transmission the following information:
(1) the date and time of transmission
(2) identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the message; and
(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or individual.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment operations or procedures where such action is 
reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can 
be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or 
require modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given 
adequate notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service
Change or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer responsible for compliance could void the users authority to oper-
ate the equipment.

RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER
The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine may be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of 
the machine. In some instances you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on the telephone line, and is useful for determining whether 
you have “overloaded” the line. Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in problems making and receiving 
telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your telephone 
line should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on 
your line. If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may 
cause harm to the telephone network.
You should also know that:
• Your machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.
• If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as your machine, you may experience transmission and 
reception problems with all the equipment. It is recommended that no other equipment, except for a regular telephone, share the line with 
your machine.
• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for both the power 
and the telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or telephone and electronic specialty stores.
• When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the 
emergency service dispatcher of your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions on how to actually test the emergency 
number.
• This machine may not be used on coin service or party lines.
• This machine provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.
You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of a standard modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.
FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the 
user’s authority to operate this equipment. In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone 
company should notify the customer that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may 
temporarily cease service, providing that they:
a) promptly notify the customer.
b) give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.
c) inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in 
FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

REPLACING THE FITTED PLUG (FOR UK ONLY)
Important
The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the 
fuse, you must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until 
you have another fuse cover. 
Contact the people from you purchased the machine.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have 
normal 13 amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug.
Important warning: 
You must earth this machine.
The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:
• Green and Yellow: Earth
• Blue: Neutral
•Brown: Live
If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, do the following:
You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter “E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and yellow or 
green.
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N” or colored black.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “L” or colored red.
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.
