This facsimile machine has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy 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 causes interference in 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. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and REN for this equipment. If so requested, you must provide this information to the telephone company. An FCC-compliant telephone cord and modular plug are provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack which is Part-68-compliant. If problems arise If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remote it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily stop service. When practical, they will notify you before this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. In the event repairs are ever needed on your fax machine, they should be done by Muratec America, Inc., or an authorized representative of Muratec America, Inc. For information, contact the Muratec Customer Support Center at 972-364-3350 (from the U. S. only). Canada Industry Canada (IC) regulations Ringer Equivalence Number (REN): 0.3. This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled "Digital Apparatus," ICES-003 of the Department of Communications. Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe A prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur: "Appareils Numériques," NMB-003 édictée par le Ministre des Communications. Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification means the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction. Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. Sometimes, the company's inside wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be extended with a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with these conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any equipment malfunction, or repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority or electrician. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices does not exceed 5. The IC REN for your equipment is 0.3. IC Telephone company procedures The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it may occasionally have to make changes in its equipment, operations or procedures. If these changes might affect your service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice, in writing, to allow you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service. If you have any questions about your telephone line, such as how many pieces of equipment you can connect to it, the telephone company will provide this information upon request. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the telephone company to request information from you about the equipment which you have connected to your telephone line. Upon request of the telephone company, provide the FCC registration number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the equipment which is connected to your line. Both of these numbers are listed on the equipment label attached to your fax machine. The sum of all RENS on your telephone line should be fewer than five (5) in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. Sometimes, a sum of five (5) may not be usable on a given telephone line. Note: This equipment is hearing-aid-compatible (HAC). Notice: 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 fax machine unless such message clearly contains, either in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it was sent and an identification of the business or other identity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, entity or individual. For instructions on programming this information (the "TTI") into your fax machine, see pages 1.16­1.17. Type of service Your fax is designed for use on standard-device telephone lines. The fax connects to the telephone line with a standard line called the USOC RJ-11. Connection to telephone-company-provided coin service (central-office-implemented systems). Connection to party line service is subject to State tariffs. i Safety information Laser Safety This is a digital machine which operates by means of a laser. There is no possibility of danger from the laser, provided the machine is operated according to the instructions in this manual. Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protective housing, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation. This machine is certified as a Class 1 laser product. This means the machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation. For the United States CDRH regulation This machine is certified as a Class 1 Laser product under the Radiation Performance Standard according to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1990. Compliance is mandatory for Laser products marketed in the United States and is reported to the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). This means that the device does not produce hazardous laser radiation. The label shown below indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States. CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure. This is a semiconductor laser. The maximum power of the laser diode is 5mW and the wavelength is 770-810nm. Internal Laser Radiation Maximum Average Radiant Power: 36.7 (µW) at the laser aperture of the print head unit. Wavelength: 770-810 nm This product employs a Class IIIb Laser Diode that emits an invisible laser beam. The Laser Diode and Scanning Polygon Mirror are incorporated in the print head unit. The print head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICE ITEM. Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circumstances.
