1. Important Safety Instructions
To ensure the safe operation of this scanner, be sure to read the safety warnings and precautions described below.
Installation Location
The performance of this scanner is affected by the
environment in which it is installed. Make sure that the
location where the scanner is installed meets the following
environmental requirements.
● Provide adequate space around the scanner for
operation, maintenance, and ventilation.
3.9" (100 mm) or more
25.98" (660 mm)
or more
37.8" (960 mm) or more
● Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If
this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the
scanner.
● Avoid locations where a considerable amount of
dust accumulates.
● Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the
vicinity of a water faucet, water heater, or

The following conditions are recommended for
optimal scanning quality:
Room temperature: 10 °C to 32.5 °C (50 °F to
90.5 °F)
Humidity: 20% to 80% RH
● Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that
generates a magnetic field (e.g. speakers,
televisions, or radios).
Power
● Connect only to a power outlet of the rated voltage
and power supply frequency (either 120 V, 60 Hz
or 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, depending on your
region).
● Do not use the scanner with a power supply that is
not rated for the specified voltage. Doing so might
cause fire or electric shock.
● Do not connect other electrical equipment to the
same power outlet to which the scanner is
connected. Also, when using an extension cord,
make sure that the extension cord is rated for the
current requirements of the scanner.
● The power cord may become damaged if it is often
stepped on or if heavy objects are placed on it.
Continued use of a damaged power cord can lead
to an accident, such as a fire or electrical shock.
● Do not use the power cord while it is coiled.
2
● Do not pull directly on the power cord. When
disconnecting the power cord, grasp the plug and
remove it from the outlet.
● Keep the area around the power plug clear of
