CAUTION:
Temperature: 10 32°C (50 89.6°F)(humidity to be 54% at 32°C, 89.6°F)
Humidity: 15 80% (temperature to be 27°C, 80.6°F at 80%)
A strong and level base.
The machine must be level within 5 mm, 0.2" both front to rear and left to
right.
To avoid possible buildup of ozone, be sure to locate this machine in a large
well ventilated room that has an air turnover of more than 30 m3/hr/person.

Environments to avoid

Locations exposed to direct sunlight or strong light (more than 1,500 lux).
Locations directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner or heated air
from a heater. (Sudden temperature changes might cause condensation with-
in the machine.)
Locations close to machines generating ammonia such as a diazo copy ma-
chine.
Places where the machine might be subjected to frequent strong vibration.
Dusty areas.
Areas with corrosive gases.
Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an elec-
tric shock might occur.
Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over,
an injury might occur.
If you use the machine in a confined space, make sure there is a continuous
air turnover.
