If scanned documents are ejected to the back of the scanner, provide adequate space behind the scanner for documents ejected after being scanned. (See “Document Eject Tray,” on p. 23.)

Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the scanner.

Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates.

Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the vicinity of a water faucet, water heater, or humidifier, and avoid locations where the fumes from ammonia, paint thinner, or other volatile chemicals may be present.

Avoid locations where ammonia gas is emitted.

Avoid locations near volatile or flammable materials, such as alcohol or paint thinner.

Avoid locations that are subject to vibration.

Avoid exposing the scanner to rapid changes in temperature. If the room in which the scanner is installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the scanner. This may result in a noticeable degradation in scanning quality.
