To Ensure Safe Use
Improper handling or operation of this machine may result in injury or damage to property. Points
which must be observed to prevent such injury or damage are described as follows.
About WARNING and CAUTION Notices
WARNING Used for instructions intended to alert the user to the risk of death or severe injury should
the unit be used improperly.
CAUTION
Used for instructions intended to alert the user to the risk of injury or material damage
should the unit be used improperly.
* Material damage refers to damage or other adverse eects caused with respect to the
home and all its furnishings, as well to domestic animals or pets.
About the Symbols
The symbol alerts the user to important instructions or warnings.
The specic meaning of the symbol is determined by the design contained within the triangle.
The symbol at left means "danger of electrocution."
The symbol alerts the user to items that must never be carried out (are forbidden). The specic
thing that must not be done is indicated by the design contained within the circle.
The symbol at left means the unit must never be disassembled.
The symbol alerts the user to things that must be carried out.
The specic thing that must be done is indicated by the design contained within the circle.
The symbol at left means the power-cord plug must be unplugged from the outlet.
Incorrect operation may cause injury
WARNING
Do not disassemble, repair, or modify.
Doing so may lead to re or abnormal opera-
tion resulting in injury.
Never allow children near the machine.
The machine includes locations and com-
ponents that pose a danger to children, and
accidental injury may occur.

Incorrect operation may damage the scan object
This machine weighs approximately 60 kg (135 lb.)
External emission of laser light may occur
WARNING
Securely fasten the object to be scanned to
the table so that it does not slip or topple
over.
The table rotates during scanning. Tipover or
contact by the scan object may cause dam-
age. Scan-object damage is not covered by
warranty.
WARNING
Lifting and carrying are operations that
must be carried out by two or more per-
sons, by grasping the bottom of the ma-
chine.
Failure to do so may result in falling of the unit,
leading to injury.
WARNING
Never try to scan an object whose height is
406.4 mm (16 in.) or more, or that protrudes
beyond the table.
The object may strike the interior of the ma-
chine, causing breakdown or damage. The
scan object may also be damaged. Scan-
object damage is not covered by warranty.
WARNING
Install on a stable surface.
Failure to do so may result in the unit tipping
over, leading to injury..
WARNING
Do not use if the housing or window area
is cracked or deformed.
In such cases, there is danger of external
emission of Class 3R laser light. Staring at
externally emitted laser light may cause eye
injury.
Important Cautions Regarding Laser Light
This machine uses a laser beam to scan objects, but dangerous laser radiation is not emitted outside the machine. It is safe
to view the laser light through the window.
However, this may not be the case if the machine is disassembled or if its cover or safety devices are broken or disabled.
Please observe the cautionary notes in this documentation and never attempt to use this machine if the machine is in an
abnormal state.
Direct contact with the laser beam will not cause burns or re due to incorrect use or the like.The natural blink reex protects
the eye in the event that laser light from the machine directly enters the eye, but staring directly into the laser beam may
result in eye injury.
To Ensure Safe Use

Danger of electrical short, shock, electrocution, or re
WARNING
Do not use with any electrical power supply
that does not meet the ratings displayed
on the AC adapter.
Use with any other power supply may lead to
re or electrocution.
Do not use with any power supply other
than the dedicated AC adapter.
Use with any other power supply may lead to
re or electrocution.
Never use any power cord other than the
power cord included with the machine.
Doing so may cause re.
Do not use with a damaged AC adapter,
power cord or plug, or with a loose electri-
cal outlet.
Doing so may lead to re, electrical shock, or
electrocution.
Never damage the power cord or pull it
with force.
Doing so may tear the cord’s insulation, caus-
ing an electrical short and resulting in electrical
shock, electrocution, or re.
Never place any object on the power cord,
bend the power cord using excessive
force, or allow the power cord to become
deformed.
If it becomes deformed, the deformed location
may grow hot and cause re.
WARNING
When unplugging the electrical power cord
from the power outlet, grasp the plug, not
the cord.
Unplugging by pulling the cord may damage
it, leading to re, electrical shock, or electro-
cution.
When not in use for several hours, unplug
the power-cord plug from the electrical
outlet.
Failure to do so may result in danger of
electrical shock, electrocution or re due to
deterioration of electrical insulation.
Never operate the machine or insert or
remove its power plug with wet hands.
Doing so may result in electrical shock or
electrocution.
In the event of an abnormal state (such
as smoke or sparks, odor or burning or
unusual noise), immediately unplug the
power cord.
Failure to do so may result in re, electrical
shock, or electrocution. Immediately discon-
nect the power cord and contact your autho-
rized Roland DG Corp. dealer.
Never insert metal objects, flammable
objects, or any other foreign object into in-
terior areas other than the top of the table.
Also, do not place water or other liquids
on any area, including the table.
Doing so may cause an electrical short, result-
ing in shock or electrocution, or the inserted
object may catch re.

Important Notes on Handling and Use
This machine is a precision device.To ensure the full performance of this machine, be sure to observe the following important
points. Failure to observe these may not only result in loss of performance, but may also cause malfunction or breakdown.
Main Unit
This Machine Is a Precision Device
Handle carefully, and never subject the machine to impact or excessive force.
Never touch any internal component except the table. Doing so may make scanning impossible.
Install in a Suitable Location
 Install in a location having the specied temperature and relative humidity.
Install in a stable location offering good operating conditions.
Never Touch the Machine During Scanning
Never subject the machine to impact during a scanning operation. Doing so may cause scanning
noise.
Except in an emergency, never open the machine's door during a scanning operation. Doing so switches
off the power, and scanning operation cannot be resumed.
Important Notes on Connecting the Cables
Connect the AC adapter, power cord, and USB cable securely so that they do not come loose or ex-
perience faulty connection during use.
Be sure to use the included USB cable.
Never use a USB hub or the like.
