Fax Branding Statement
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to
use a computer or other electronic device, including fax machines, to send any mes-
sage unless such message clearly contains the following information:
•Date and time the message is sent
•Identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the
message
•Telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or
individual
This information is to appear in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted
page or on the first page of the transmission. (Adding this information in the margin
is referred to as fax branding.)
Since any number of fax software packages can be used with this product, the user
must refer to the fax software manual for setup details. Typically the fax branding
information must be entered via the configuration menu of the software.
Canadian Limitations Notice
Notice: The ringer equivalence number (REN) assigned to each terminal device pro-
vides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to
a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination
of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the ringer equivalence
numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
Notice: The Industry Canada label identifies certificated equipment. This certifica-
tion means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protec-
tive, operational and safety requirements. The Industry Canada label does not
guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be con-
nected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment
must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer
should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degra-
dation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be made
by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any re-
pairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment or equipment malfunctions
may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect
the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections
of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if
present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in
rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
