Important Safety Information
Handling the AC power adapter’s cord and plug
• Damaging the power cord could lead to fire or electric
shock.
• When installing, do not squeeze the power cord
between the product and a wall, rack, etc.
• Do not modify or damage the power cord.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord or pull
strongly on it.
• Do not place the power cord near heating appliances
or otherwise heat it.
• When unplugging the power cord, always do so by
pulling on the plug, not the cord.
If the power cord should be damaged, ask your store of
purchase to replace it.
• If there is dust or metal objects on or near the power
plug’s blades, unplug the power cord then wipe the
blade area clean using a dry cloth. Continued use without
cleaning the plug could lead to fire or electric shock.
• Do not plug in or unplug the power cord with wet hands.
Doing so could lead to electric shock.
• When moving the unit, turn off the power and be sure to
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet first. Moving
the unit with the power cord plugged in could damage the
cord, leading to fire or electric shock.
• Connect the power plug securely to the AC outlet, press-
ing the blades in to the hilt. Incomplete plugging could
cause heating or attract dust, leading to fire. In addition,
touching the plug’s blades could cause electric shock.
Handling the included AC adapter box
• An AC adapter box is provided with the copyboard for
storing the AC power adapters of the copyboard and
printer.
The AC power adapters and the power cords generate
heat. Place them sufficiently apart and do not bundle the
cables together, or the adapters and cables could heat
up, leading to fire.
• Do not place vases, potted plants, glasses, cosmetics or
containers of chemicals or water on the printer table. The
liquid could spill and get into the AC adapter box, leading
to fire or electric shock.
Reflected Light from the Sheet Surface
The sheet surface of the main unit has a white glaze and
when a projector or other optical equipment is projected,
the reflected light could result in eye fatigue or other symp-
toms, so please be careful.
For model M-125, an image can be projected on the copy-
board when you switch to the screen panel.
Also note that the light emitted from laser pointers can be
linked to unexpected accidents, so please refrain from using
them.
Do not use the included CD-ROM in a player
designed for audio CDs.
• Never use the included CD-ROM in a player designed
for audio CDs. Doing so could produce loud noises that
could impair your hearing. These noises can also damage
your speakers.
Installation
• Only a specially trained technician should install the set.
Improper installation could lead to injury.
• When mounting on a wall, be sure to check first that the
wall surface is strong enough to support the total weight
of the main unit, mount fittings and printer for a long
period of time (including during earthquakes). If the wall is
not strong enough, reinforce it before mounting the unit.
• Getting water on or inside the unit etc., could lead to
fire or electric shock. Be particularly careful when using
the unit near a window when it is raining or snowing and
when using it near the shore of the ocean and lakes.
• Do not set the unit in hot places exposed to direct sun-
light or in places exposed to an air conditioner or heating
duct.
Do not set the unit in places exposed to soot or humidity
(near humidifiers, etc.).
• When the power plug will be unplugged from the power
outlet, please place the Copyboard near the power outlet
so that it may be reached easily.
Preventing Tipping (for stand type units)
To prevent tipping, heed the instructions below. Tipping
could lead to personal injury or damage the unit.
• Use the unit on a flat floor.
• Be sure to attach the supplied stabilizers to the stand,
and lock the stoppers of the casters. Failing to do so
could result in the unit tipping and could lead to personal
injury.
• Do not lean against the unit or apply excess force to the
top of the unit.
Cautions on Usage
• Take care that the unit does not get wet and that water
does not get inside. Do not place objects containing
chemicals, water or other liquids (vases, potted plants,
glasses, cosmetics, etc.) on top of the unit. The liquid
could spill and get inside the unit, leading to fire or elec-
tric shock.
• When lifting the unit to adjust the height, etc., the unit
should be lifted by at least two persons to prevent it from
tipping and causing personal injury.
• Do not move the sheet with paper or other objects
attached to it. Doing so could cause damage.
• Do not wipe the unit or sheet with thinner, benzene, alco-
hol or other such products. Doing so could cause discol-
oration or damage the sheet.
• Only use markers designed exclusively for this product.
Using other markers could damage the sheet. Also note
that it may not be possible to erase the ink of other
markers.
• When moving the (stand type) unit, remove the stabilizers
and release the caster locks. Hold the sides of the main
unit and move it gently. Avoid shocks.
• When not using for long periods of time, for safety be sure
to unplug the AC power adapter from the power outlet.
• Make entries within the effective reading size. (See page
E-9) Portions that are drawn outside of this range might
not be printed or copied when saving to USB memory or
personal computer.
