Where to Put Your Machine

Machine Environment

Choose your machine's location care- fully. 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 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.6

Dusty areas.

Areas with corrosive gases.
