1. Important Safety Instructions

To ensure the safe operation of this scanner, be sure to read the safety warnings and precautions described below.

Installation Location

The performance of this scanner is affected by the environment in which it is installed. Make sure that the location where the scanner is installed meets the following environmental requirements.

Provide adequate space around the scanner for operation, maintenance, and ventilation.

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.

The following conditions are recommended for

optimal scanning quality:

Room temperature: 15 °C to 30 °C (59 °F to

86 °F)

(150 mm) or more

or more

36.2" (920 mm) or more

Humidity: 25% to 80% RH

Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that

generates a magnetic field (e.g. speakers,

televisions, or radios).

Removing the Transportation Screw

Three transportation screws are preinstalled at the factory to secure the scanner’s optical unit and protect it from damage caused by vibration and shock during shipment. Make sure to remove these screws before using the scanner.

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

Avoid locations with excessive dust or cigarette smoke. Dust and smoke can have negative effects on the inner parts of the scanner.

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 that are subject to vibration.
