This equipment complies with requirements of 21 CFR Subchapter J for class 1 laser products. This
equipment contains two GaAlAs laser diodes, 5-milliwatt, 760-800 nanometer wavelength for each
emitter. This equipment does not emit hazardous light, since the beam is totally enclosed during all cus-
tomer modes of operation and maintenance.
Caution:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual
might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Notes:

x
Preventing an Unauthorized Copy
You can embed a pattern in the printed document to prevent it from being copied.
• Using the printer driver, you can embed a pattern in the printed document. If
the document is copied on a machine with the Copy Data Security Unit (op-
tional), protected pages are grayed out in the copy, preventing confidential
information from being copied. In addition, the machine beeps to notify that
unauthorized copying is being attempted.
If the document is copied on a machine without the Copy Data Security Unit,
the hidden text becomes conspicuous in the copy, showing that the copy is
unauthorized.
See the printer driver Help and Printer Reference.
•Usingtheprinterdriver,you can embed text in the printed document for un-
authorized copy prevention. If the document is copied, scanned, or stored in
a Document Server by a copier or multifunction printer, the embedded text
appears conspicuous in the copy, discouraging such unauthorized copying.
See the printer driver Help.
See Printer Reference.
• If a document protected by unauthorized copy guard is copied on a machine
that is equipped with the Copy Data Security Unit (optional), the machine
beeps to notify users that unauthorized copying is being attempted.
See Security Reference.

Notes To Wireless LAN Interface (optional) Users
Notes to users
It is strictly forbidden to use antenna(s) except designated.
The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 2.5 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or oper-
ating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Notes to users in the United States of America
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment.
Notice:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential in-
stallation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency ener-
gy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
rect the interference by one 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.

2
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must ac-
cept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Warning
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Note to users in Canada
Note:
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device.
IEEE 802.11b Interface Unit Type H:
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
The term “IC:” before the certification/registration number only signifies that
the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to
be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding.
Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP)
is not more than that required for successful communication.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum
gain of [0.00]dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regula-
tions of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is [50]ohms.

Remarque concernant les utilisateurs au Canada
Avertissement:
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
L'utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions suivantes: (1)
il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et (2) l'utilisateur du dispositif doit être prêt
à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillage est suscep-
tible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.
IEEE 802.11b Interface Unit Type H:
Ce dispositif est conforme à la norme CNR-210 d'Industrie Canada.
L'expression <<IC:>> avant le numéro d'homologation/enregistrement signifie
seulement que les spécifications techniques d'Industrie Canada ont été respectées.
Pour empêcher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l'objet
d'une licence, il doit être utilisé à l'intérieur et devrait être placé loin des fenêtres
afin de fournir un écran de blindage maximal.
Si le matériel (ou son antenne d'émission) est installe à l'extérieur, il doit faire
l'objet d'une licence.
Afin de réduire le risque d'interférence aux autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne
et son gain doivent être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance isotrope rayonnée
équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne soit pas supérieure au niveau requis pour obtenir une
communication satisfaisante.
Ce dispositif a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une antenne ayant un gain max-
imal de [0.00]dBi. Une antenne ayant un gain plus élevé est strictement interdite
par les réglements d'Industrie Canada. L'impédance d'antenne requise est [50]
ohms.
