INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The performance of the machine is affected by the ambient conditions of the installation location. Do not install in the following locations:
CAUTION:
Do not install the machine in a location with poor air circulation.
A small amount of ozone is created inside the machine during printing. The amount of ozone created is not sufficient to be harmful; however, an unpleasant odor may be noticed during large copy runs, and thus the machine should be installed in a room with a ventilation fan or windows that provide sufficient air circulation. (The odor may occasionally cause headaches.)
*Install the machine so that people are not directly exposed to exhaust from the machine. If installed near a window, ensure that the machine is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Dusty locations
If dust enters the machine, dirty output and machine failure may result.
Locations exposed to direct sunlight
Locations that are excessively hot, cold, humid, or dry (near heaters, humidifiers, air conditioners, etc.)
The paper will become damp and condensation may form inside the machine, causing misfeeds and dirty output.
☞Ambient environment (page 10)
If the location has an ultrasonic humidifier, use pure water for humidifiers in the humidifier. If tap water is used, minerals and other impurities will be emitted, causing impurities to collect on the inside of the machine and create dirty output.
Near a wall
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation. (The machine should be no closer than the distances indicated below from walls. The indicated distances are for the case when a saddle finisher and large capacity paper tray are not installed.)
30cm
30cm | 45cm |
Plastic parts may become deformed and dirty output may result.
Locations with ammonia gas
Installing the machine next to a diazo copy machine may cause dirty output.
Locations subject to vibration.
Vibration may cause failure.
The machine includes a
•The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.
•Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.
