Installation Precautions

Powe r Sourc e

The following are the power source requirements for this printer.

Power supply:

220 – 240 V at 50 – 60 Hz

Voltage fluctuation:

220 – 240 V ±10%

Frequency fluctuation:

Within ±3 Hz

Note

Use a power source with minimal voltage and frequency fluctuation.

◆

Only use an outlet that is rated for the voltage capacity specified for this

◆

printer.
Be sure to plug the power cord all the way into the outlet. The outlet

◆

should be located near the printer and be easily accessible so you can
unplug the powe r cord immediately should any problem occ ur.
Make sure the outlet you use is visible, and not hidden behind the printer

◆

or any other object.
If any other electrical equipment is plugged into the same outlet, make

◆

sure that the capacity of the outlet is not exceeded.
If you use an extension cord, make sure its capacity is greater than the

◆

power consumption of the printer. Using an extension cord with a lower
capacity creates the danger of fire.
Never use a multiple socket to connect other appliances or machines to

◆

the same outlet being used to power the printer.

Chapter 2Setting-Up

Note the following important precautions whenever using the printer.

Operating Environment

The following describes the operating environment required when
using the pr inter.

Temperature:

10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) with fluctuation of 10°C (18°F) per
hour

Humidity:

15% to 85% with fluctuation of 20% per hour

Printer

The following describes precautions for using the printer.

• Never turn the printer off or open any of its covers during a print
operation.

• Never place flammable gasses , li qui ds or objects that generate mag­netic force s near the prin ter.

• When unplugging the power cord, always grasp the plug and never
pull on the cord. A damaged cord creates the danger of fire or elec­trical shock.

• Never touch the power cor d when your han ds are wet . Doing so cre­ates the danger of electrical shock.

• Always unplug the power cord befo re mo ving t he p rinte r. Failure to
do so can damage the power cord, creating the danger of fire or
electrica l shock.

• Always unplug the power cord if you do not plan to use the printer
for a long time.

• Never try to remove any secured panel or cover. The interior of the
printer contains high-voltage circuitry which creates the danger of
electrical shock when exposed.

Chapter 2Setting-Up

2-5

Operational Precautions

• Never try to modify the printer. Doing so creates the danger of fire
or electrical shock.

• Never place any heavy objects on the power cord, pull on it or bend
it. Doing so creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.

• Always make sure the printer is not placed on the electrical cord or
the communications cables of any other electrical equipment. Also
make sure that cords and cables do not get into the printer’s mecha-

Chapter 2Setting-Up

nism. Any of these conditions create the danger of malfunction and
fire.

• Always take care so that paper clips, staples, or other small pieces
of metal do not get into the printer th rough its vents or other open­ings. Such objects create the danger of fire or electrical shock.

• Do not allow water or other liquids to spill on or near the printer.
Fire or electrical shock can occur should water or liquid come into
contact with the printer.

• Should liquid or any piec e of metal acci dentl y get insi de the print er,
immediately turn it off, unplug the power cord, and contact your
dealer. Failure to take this immediate action creates the danger of
fire or electrical shock.

• Whenever the printer emits unus ually high amount s of hea t, smok e,
an unusual odor, or noise, immediately turn it off, unplug it, and
contact your dealer. F ailure to take this immediate actio n creates the
danger of fire or electrical shock.

Caution

◆ Be sure to locate the printer in a well-ventilated location. A minimal

amount of ozon e is generated during normal operation of this
printer. Because of this, an unpleasant odor may result when the
printer is used for extensive printing in a poorly ventilated area. F or
comfortable, healthy , a nd safe operation, be sure to locate the printer
in a well-ventilated area.

2-6

Operational Precautions

Attention

◆ Placer l’imprimante dans une pièce largement ventilée

Une quantité d’ozone négligable est déga gée pendant le fonctionne­ment de l’imprimante quand celle-ci est utilisée normalement.
Cependant, une odeur désagréable pent être ressentie dans les pièces
dont l’aération est insuffisante et lorsqu’une utilisation prolongée de
l’imprimante est effectuée. Pour avoir la certitude de travailler dans
des conditions de confort, santé et sécurité, il est préférable de bien
aérer la pièce où se trouve l’imprimante.

Printer Supplies
