FCC NOTICE: This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy
and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television
reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in
Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause interference to 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 methods.
– Reorient the receiving antenna.
– Relocate the computer or peripheral with respect to the receiver.
– Move the computer or peripheral away from the receiver.
– Plug the computer or peripheral into a different outlet so that they are
on different branch circuits than the receiver.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the
booklet How to Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems,
prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful. This booklet
is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington DC,

Laser Safety
The DEClaser 2100 printer complies with laser product performance
standards set by government agencies as a Class 1 Laser Product. The
DEClaser 2100 printer does not emit hazardous light, since the beam is
totally enclosed during all modes of customer operation and maintenance.
Ozone Safety
The DEClaser 2100 printer uses an ozone filter to remove the ozone
generated by the printer. The ozone filter should be replaced at the 100,000
page count. Refer to the DEClaser 2100 Printer Operator’s Guide for
instructions on replacing the ozone filter.
WARNING: Do not operate the printer without the ozone filter installed. The
filter removes ozone, which could be hazardous to your health.
