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 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 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 vibration.

•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

❒Be careful when moving the ma- chine. Take the following precau- tions:

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

•Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. When you pull out the plug from the socket, grip the plug to avoid damag- ing the cord, thereby reducing the risk of fire or electric shock.
