Other Precautions
The service environmental conditions are as follows:
•Temperature: 10 to 32.5 °C (50 to 90.5 °F), but humidity should be 70 % or less when temperature is 32.5 °C (90.5 °F)
•Humidity: 15 to 80 %, but temperature should be 30 °C or less (86 °F or less) when humidity is 80%
However, adverse environmental conditions may affect the image quality. It is recommended to use the machine at a temperature: around 16 to 27 °C (60.8 to 80.6 °F), humidity: around 36 to 65 %. In addition, avoid the following locations when selecting a site for the machine.
•Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to direct sunlight.
•Avoid locations with vibrations.
•Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.
•Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.
•Avoid poorly ventilated locations.
During printing, small amounts of ozone and other chemicals are released, but the amount does not cause any ill effect to one's health. If, however, the printer is used over a long period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when printing an extremely large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To maintain the appropriate environment for print work, it is suggested that the room be properly ventilated.
Power Supply/Grounding the Machine
WARNING:
Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same outlet. These types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock.
Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic objects come in contact with the prongs on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock.
Always connect the machine to an outlet with a ground connection to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock in case of an electric short. If an earth connection is not possible, contact your service representative.
Other Precautions
Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the machine. The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket/outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Handling of Plastic Bags
WARNING:
Keep the plastic bags that are used with the machine away from children. The plastic may cling to their nose and mouth causing suffocation.
