Safety Regulations
The printer P 405 fulfils the safety regulations according to UL 1950 and VDE
(IEC 950) and CSA 22.2/No. 950 for computer systems.
The mains cable must be connected to a ground protected wall-socket. The
selected voltage of the printer needs to agree with the local voltage.
The power plug must be easily accessible at any time so that it can be
disconnected immediately in case of danger or for maintenance purposes..
Comme le câble de secteur sert de dipositif d'arrêt-urgence, sa connexion à
l'imprimante doit être tout le temps accessible.
Before installing the printer, check the surrounding conditions in which the
printer will be placed (see next page, Operating Environment and chapter 1).
During a thunderstorm you should never attempt to connect or disconnect any
data transfer cables.
The power supply should only be opened and checked by authorized
personnel. Repairs and maintenance beyond the descriptions of chapter 9
may only be attempted by authorized personnel as well. Repairs done
inappropriately may cause damage and severe danger for the user.
We certify that the equipment at issue,
Type: Printer P 405
corresponds to the law regulations ruling electromagnetic compatibility of
appliances (89/336/EWG) and, therefore, fulfils the requirements for conformity
marking with the CE-sign.
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 installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the in-
struction manual, may cause 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, it 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 to an outlet on a circuit different from
the circuit to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Shielded interface cables should be used with this unit to ensure compliance
with Class B limits.
Changes and modifications not explicitly allowed by the equipment's
manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Changes et modifications pas expressément approuvés par le producteur
peuvent dévaluer l'autorité d'opérer l'équipement.
III IV
Operating Environment
Avoid installing the printer where it is exposed to moisture or heat (eg. direct
sun light).
-Temperature: + 10EC to + 35EC (+50EF to +95EF)
-Humidity: 20% to 80%
-Humidity with Automatic
Sheet Feeder (ASF): 30% to 70%
Slots and openings in the printer's housing are provided for ventilation. Always
ensure that these openings are not obstructed.
Also ensure that the cables at the rear of the printer do not interfere with the
output paper path.
When processing fanfold paper always place the printer with its front edge
slightly off the edge of the table.
