Precautions
This section describes precautions to follow when installing the scanner.
To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your scanner, do not install the scanner in the places and environments described below.
•Place the scanner away from electrical noise sources, strong magnetic fields, and air flow. If the scanner is used near an air conditioner, copying machine, or TV set, the scanner may operate incorrectly.
•Keep the scanner out of the sun and away from heaters. These environments may shorten the scanner life or cause hardware failures.
•Do not install the scanner in a place where vibrations may occur. This environment may cause hardware failures or may cause the scanner to operate incorrectly.
•Do not install the scanner in humid, dusty, or damp places. These environments may shorten the scanner life or cause hardware failures.
•Do not place the scanner where liquid spills may occur.
•Be aware of static electricity, which can damage the scanner’s sensitive electronic parts. Be sure the flooring and the desk are made of materials that do not generate static electricity.
For information on the minimum required size of the installation space, see Chapter 5,
