Safety Notes Chapter 1
1. Installation Precautions

Installation Site

Placement of the unit in the environment described below will ensure optimal performance
throughout the long life of service for which it was designed.
A well-ventilated place.
An area which is free from ammonia or other organic gases.
A place which has easy access to a power outlet so that the unit may be easily plugged in
and unplugged.
Any area free from direct sunlight.
A place which is out of the direct air stream of an air conditioner, heater or ventilator and
is not subject to extremely high or low temperatures or humidity.
A stable location with a flat surface that is not subject to undue vibration.
A place that is free from any object that would block the heat exhaust duct of the printer.
A place away from curtains or anything else that is easily flammable.
An area that is safe from spilled water or other liquids.
A dust-free location.
NOTE
If the Scanner is to be located near a window, do not face the Screen towards the window.

Power Source

The power source voltage requirements are as follows:
Use a power source with minimal voltage fluctuation.
Power Source: 50Hz-60Hz
Voltage fluctuation: within ±10%
Frequently fluctuation: within ±3%
Be careful not to exceed the capacity of the outlet, especially when sourcing other
appliances from the same outlet.
The outlet should be located near the unit and be easily accessible so that the power cord
can be unplugged immediately if necessary.
NEVER connect any other appliances or machines by means of a multiple socket to the
outlet being used for the unit.
If an extension cord is needed, use one with a capacity greater than the power
consumption of the unit.
Make sure that the power cord and extension cord do not become caught in any
mechanism of the system. Do not allow either the power or extension cord to become
caught underneath the weight of the unit.

Grounding

To prevent electrical shocks caused by electrical leakage, always ground the printer.
Connect the grounding wire to:
• The ground terminal of the outlet.
• A grounding contact that complies with the local electrical standards.
NEVER connect the grounding wire to a gas pipe, the grounding wire f or a telephone, or
a water pipe.
