Where to Put Your Machine

Machine Environment

Choose your machine's location carefully . 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:

•Make sure the room where you

are using the machine is well

7 ventilated and spacious. Good ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavi- ly.

•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 inches: 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 other sources of 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 can cause condensation to form inside the machine.)

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

•Places where the machine will be subject 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.

RCAUTION:

•Before moving the machine, be sure to pull all four handles fully out. If not, an injury might occur. After moving the machine, return the four handles to their original positions.
