Environmental considerations
Allow enough space at the back of the scanner for the power cord and SCSI connectors.
mMake sure you allow space for adequate ventilation so the scanner does not overheat.
mIf relative humidity is low, use a humidifier or an antistatic mat to avoid electrostatic buildup. Avoid dusty areas, places where the scanner will be exposed to salty air or corrosive gases, and locations where temperature and humidity levels vary significantly.
mAvoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or exposing it to open flames.
mPlace the scanner on a surface that is free from vibrations.
