EMI COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
FOR CANADIAN USERS
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used
properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause
interference to radio and television reception. This digital apparatus does not exceed the
Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio
Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. This
equipment is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a
residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular 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 or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

General Precautions
1. Prior to operation, read the safety instructions carefully and observe them.
2. Do not drop or put foreign matter such as clips and pins into the printer. This may
cause problems.
3. Be careful when moving or carrying the printer. Dropping the printer may cause injury
or property damage.
4. Make sure if you open the top cover, it is opened all the way. If only partially open, the
cover could slam shut, possibly causing injury.
5. When the cover is open, be careful of the corners of the cover. They could cause
injury.
6. Do not open the printer during printing.
7. When cleaning the surface of the printer case, do not use the cloth that is soaked in
thinner, trichloroethylene, benzine, ketone or similar chemicals.
8. Do not use the printer where there is a lot of oil, iron particles, or dust.
9. Do not spill liquids or spray insecticide on the printer.
10. Do not jolt or impact to the printer by stepping on, dropping or hitting the printer.
11. Operate the control panel properly. A careless, rough handling may cause problems or
malfunction. Do not use such sharp-edged tool as a ballpoint pen for operation.
12. Be careful of the edges of the plates so injury or property damage is possible.
13. If a problem occurs during printing, stop the printer immediately and unplug the power
cord from the outlet.
14. When printer trouble occurs, do not try to dissemble it. Instead, consult our service
personnel.

Precautions When Installing the Printer
1. Prior to operation, read the safety instructions carefully and observe them.
2. Do not use or store the printer near fire, excessive moisture, in direct sunlight, near an
air conditioner or heater or other source of unusually high or low temperature or
humidity or excessive dust.
3. Do not place the printer where chemical reactions occur, such as in a laboratory.
4. Do not place the printer where air is mixed with salt or gas.
5. The printer must sit on a firm, level surface where there is ample ventilation. Never
allow the printer's air vent to be blocked by a wall or other object.
6. Do not put anything on the top of printer.
7. Do not place the printer near a radio or television, and do not use the same wall outlet
for the printer and radio or television. Radio or television reception could be adversely
affected.
8. Do not use a power voltage or frequency other than those specified.
9. Do not put anything on the power cord or step on it.
10. Do not drag or carry the printer with the power cord or interface cable.
11. Avoid plugging the power cord into an outlet with many loads.
12. Do not bundle the power cord when inserting the plug.
13. Always grip the plug housing, not the cord, to plug/unplug the power cord.
14. Make certain the power is turned offbefore connecting/disconnecting the interface cable.
15. Avoid lengthening the signal cable or connecting it to any noise-producing device. If it is
unavoidable, use the shielded cable or twisted pair for each signal.
16. Place the printer near the outlet where the power cord can be unplugged easily to shut
off power.
17. Use the AC outlet that accepts a three-pronged plug. Otherwise, static electricity may
be generated and there will be danger of electric shock.
