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 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.

RCAUTION:

If you use the machine in a confined 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.

7

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.
