COPIER INSTALLATION
Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the copier is moved.
If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the copier. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours before use.
Do not install your copier in areas that are:
● damp, humid, or very dusty
● exposed to direct sunlight
● poorly ventilated
●subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or heater.
The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements.
Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.
Connect the copier to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.
4" (10 cm)
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.
A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier during operation.The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.
NOTE:
The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3) calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average concentration.
However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.
8
CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
Be careful in handling the copier as follows to maintain the performance of this copier.
Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.
Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight.
Doing so will damage the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge, causing poor copy quality.
Store spare supplies such as drum cartridges and TD cartridges in a dark place without removing from the package before use.
If they are exposed to direct sunlight, poor copies may result.
Do not touch the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge.
Doing so will damage the surface of the cartridge, causing smudges on copies.
