Where to Put Your Machine

Machine Environment

Your machine's location should be carefully chosen because environmental conditions greatly affect its performance.

Optimum environmental conditions

RCAUTION:

•Keep the machine away from hu- midity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might occur.

•Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it top- ples over, an injury might occur.

RCAUTION:

•If you use the machine in a con- fined space, make sure there is a continuous air turnover.

•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 ma- chine 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 sun- light or strong light (more than 1,500 lux).

•Locations directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner or heat- ed air from a heater. (Sudden tem- perature changes might cause condensation within the machine.)

•Locations close to machines gener- ating ammonia such as a diazo copy machine.

•Places where the machine might be subjected to frequent strong vibra- tion.

• Dusty areas.

•Areas with corrosive gases.

Moving

RCAUTION:

•Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the ma- chine, you should take care that the power cord will not be dam- aged under the machine.

Important

❒When moving the machine, the fol- lowing precautions should always be followed:

•Turn off the main power. See p.26 “Turning Off the Main Power”.

•Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. When you do, grip the plug to avoid damag- ing the cord and causing fire or electric shock.
