Installation Site
Installation Environment
To use this printer safely and comfortably, install the printer in a location that meets the following requirements.
IMPORTANT
Before installing the printer, be sure to read "Important Safety Instructions"
in the CD-ROM User's Guide.
●Use power supplies rated for voltages in the following ranges.
220 to 240 V (±10%) 50/60 Hz (±2 Hz)
●The maximum power consumption for the printer is 726W or below. Electrical noise or a dramatic drop in power voltage may result in a faulty operation or loss of data in the printer and computer.
●Use the printer where the temperature and humidity are in the following ranges.
Ambient temperature: 10 to 32.5°C (50 to 90.5°F)
Humidity: 20 to 80% RH (no condensation)
IMPORTANT
Water droplets (condensation) may form inside the printer in the following situations: To allow the printer to adjust to the surrounding temperature and humidity, leave the printer in the installation area for at least one hour before use. If water droplets form inside the printer, problems may arise in the paper transport path, resulting in paper jams, printer malfunctions, and other operating problems.
-When the room where the printer is installed is heated suddenly
-When the printer is moved from a cool and dry area to a hot and humid area
NOTE
To customers using an ultrasonic humidifier
If you use tap water or well water when you are using an ultrasonic humidifier, impurities in the water may be dispersed through the air and become trapped inside the printer, causing poor image quality. When you are using these humidifiers, it is therefore recommended that you use purified water or other water that is free of impurities.
●Install the printer in the following environment
•A place where sufficient space can be secured
•A well-ventilated room
•A flat surface
•A sturdy platform that can easily tolerate the weight of the printer and optional equipment
WARNING
Do not install the printer in a location near alcohol, thinners, or other flammable substances. If an inflammable substance comes into contact with the electrical unit inside the printer it may ignite or cause an electrical shock.
3
CAUTION
•Do not install the printer in any of the following locations. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock.
-A damp or dusty location
-A location exposed to smoke and steam, such as next to a stove or humidifier.
-A location exposed to rain or snow
-A location near water faucets or water
-A location exposed to direct sunlight
-A location subject to high temperatures
-A location near open flames
•Do not install the printer on an unsteady platform, an uneven surface, or any other unstable location, or any location subject to vibrations. If the printer falls down or the platform tips over, someone may be injured.
IMPORTANT
Do not install the printer in any of the following locations. Doing so may damage the printer.
-An environment where the temperature and/or humidity changes rapidly, or where condensation occurs
-A poorly ventilated room
-Near devices that generate magnetic or electromagnetic waves
-In rooms such as laboratories where chemical reactions occur
-In a room where corrosive or poisonous chemicals such as salt or ammonia are present in the air
