• To prevent the copier from tipping over, the optional
caster kit must be installed when the copier is installed
with an optional paper feeder.

• During copying, some ozone is released, but the amount
does not cause any ill effect to one's health. If, however,
the copier is used over a long period of time in a poorly
ventilated room or when making an extremely large
number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To
maintain the appropriate environment for copy work, it is
suggested that the room be properly ventilated.

■ Power supply/Grounding the copier

WARNING

• DO NOT use a power supply with a voltage other
than that specified. Avoid multiple connections in
the same outlet. These types of situations

present a danger of fire or electrical shock. .........

• Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If
metallic objects come in contact with the prongs
on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Always connect the copier to an outlet with a
ground connection to avoid the danger of fire or
electrical shock in case of an electric short. If an
earth connection is not possible, contact your

service representative. .........................................

Other precautions

• Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to
the copier.

• The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect
device. Ensure that the socket/outlet is located/installed
near the equipment and is easily accessible.

CAUTION

• Avoid placing the copier on or in locations which
are unstable or not level. Such locations may
cause the copier to fall down or fall over. This
type of situation presents a danger of personal

injury or damage to the copier..............................

• Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If
dust or dirt become attached to the power plug,
clean the plug to avoid the danger of fire or

electrical shock.....................................................

• Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other
heat sources, or locations near flammable items,

to avoid the danger of fire. ...................................

• To keep the copier cool and facilitate changing of
parts and maintenance, allow access space as
shown below.
Leave adequate space, especially around the
rear cover, to allow air to be properly ventilated

out of the copier....................................................

Other precautions

• Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe
operation and performance of the copier. Install in an air­conditioned room (recommended room temperature:
around 68°F (20°C), humidity: around 65%RH) and
avoid the following locations when selecting a site for
the copier.

.

Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to
direct sunlight.

.

Avoid locations with vibrations.

.

Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.

.

Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.

.

Avoid poorly ventilated locations.

• If the floor is delicate against casters, when this product
is moved after installation, the floor material may be
damaged.
