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 instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio and 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.

WARNING

The connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this equipment will

invalidate the FCC Certification of this device and may cause interference levels which

exceed the limits established by the FCC for this equipment. It is the responsibility of the

user to obtain and use a shielded equipment interface cable with this device. If this

equipment has more than one interface connector, do not leave cables connected to

unused interfaces.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the

users authority to operate the equipment.

TIPS FOR PRINTING ON SINGLE SHEETS

There are a few things you should know about printing on

single sheets as opposed to continuous paper. When you print

on single sheets, you may notice that your printer prints the

first page of your file correctly but then prints too low on the

next page, or that it prints the last few lines from one page onto

the next.

These differences in print position are easy to adjust; you can

simply change some of the settings in your software as

described below to get the right results.

1. When you install software, it normally asks you what printer

you are using. Make sure you choose the correct printer.

See Chapter 1 for the right printer to choose.

2 Many programs include an option to set the maximum lines

per page. If your program has a lines-per-page setting and

you are using standard 8½ x 11-inch paper, set the lines

per page to 61.

Note:

To find the right lines-per-page setting for paper that is not 8½ x

11, create a test document using your software. Set your top and

bottom margins to 0 and then create a file of numbered lines from

1 to 66. When you print your file, notice the last number printed

on the first page. This is your maximum lines-per-page setting.

If your program doesn’t have a lines-per-page setting, try

decreasing the top margin or increasing the bottom

margin, or both, until you get the results you want.

4. You can also try adjusting the form length setting. For a

standard 8½ x 11l-inch page, try setting the form length at

10 inches.

Some programs also let you indicate whether you are using

single sheets or continuous paper. Make sure you choose

single sheets.
