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. If this equipment is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful 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, 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: q Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. q Increase separation between equipment and receiver. q Connect equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is located. q Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician. Any changes or modifications to the printer that are not expressly approved by HP could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. Use of a shielded interface cable is required to comply with the Class B limits of Part 15 of FCC rules. Attaching a network interface cable to the printer's LAN connector(s) changes the Class B rating to Class A.

Regulatory information

FCC regulations

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. If this equipment is not installed and used in accordance with

the instructions, it may cause harmful 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, 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 separation between equipment and receiver.

●

Connect equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver

is located.

●

Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.

Note

Any changes or modifications to the printer that are not expressly approved by HP could void the

user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Use of a shielded interface cable is required to comply with the Class B limits of Part 15 of FCC

rules.

Attaching a network interface cable to the printer’s LAN connector(s) changes the Class B rating

to Class A. For more information see the supplementary ibformation in the

“Declaration of

Conformity” on page 26
