INSTALLATION AND RELOCATION PROCEDURE > 11
PREPARING A LOCATION FOR THE PRINTER
Place the machine on a level and sturdy surface that can withstand the
machine weight – 20.4 kg (45lb) (B6200) or 22.6 kg (50lb) (B6300). If
tilted, the machine may fall over and cause injuries.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The printer has ventilation holes on the side and rear panels. Ensure that
the printer is installed with a minimum clearance of 255mm (10in) from
the rear vent to any wall, 200mm (8in) from the left vent to any wall, and
300mm (12in) from the right vent to any wall. A poorly ventilated
machine can cause excessive internal heat and fire. The following
diagram shows the minimum clearances required for normal operation,
consumables replacement, and maintenance to ensure your machine
operates at peak performance.

ENVIRONMENT
Ensure that the installation location meets the following conditions:
•Do not place the printer in a hot, humid, dusty or poorly ventilated
environment. Prolonged exposure to such adverse conditions can
result in fire or electric shock.
12 > INSTALLATION AND RELOCATION PROCEDURE
•Temperature range 10 – 32 °C (50 – 89 °F), humidity range 15 –
85% (no condensation). Humidity should be 70% or below at 32
°C (89 °F), and temperature should be 28°C (82 °F) or below at
85% humidity.
NOTE
Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect pr int quality. Rapi d heating o f
a cold room or moving the printer from a location with low humidity/
temperature to high humidity/temperature can cause condensation inside
the printer, directly interfering with image transfer. When condensation
occurs, leave the printer for at least 1 hour to acclimatize to the
environment before using it.
•Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight.
•Do not expose the printer to the direct draft of air-conditioning or
heating.
