when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC WARNING
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
For compliance with the Federal Noise Interference Standard, this equipment requires a shielded cable.
For RF interference suppression, if a ferrite core is provided with this device, ax it to the interface cable.
is statement will be applied only for the printers marketed in U.S.A.
Statement of
