WHERE TO PUT YOUR COPIER
WHERE TO PUT YOUR COPIER
The installation location should be carefully chosen because environmental conditions greatly affect the performance of a copier.
Copier Environment
Optimum Environmental Conditions
❐ Temperature: 10 - 30°C, 50 - 86°F
❐ Humidity: 15 - 90%
❐ Place upon a strong, stable, level base with a flat, even surface. Do not
place on a surface that has holes, ruts, cavities or is uneven in any way.
❐ The copier must be level within 3 mm, 0.11" both front to rear and left to
right.
❐ To avoid a possible build-up of ozone, make sure to locate this copier in a
large well ventilated room that has air turnover of more than 30 m
3
/hr/person.
Environments To Avoid
❐ Locations exposed to direct sunlight or strong light (more than 1,500 lux.)
❐ Locations directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner or heated air
from a heater. (Sudden temperature changes might cause condensation
within the copier.)
❐ Places where the copier might be subjected to frequent strong vibration.
❐ Dusty areas.
❐ Areas with corrosive gases.
❐ Places higher than 2,000 m, 6,500 ft above sea level.

Power Connection
WHERE TO PUT YOUR COPIER
R WARNING:
Only connect the copier to the power source described on the inside front cover of this manual.
Avoid multi-wiring as it could cause an electric
shock or a fire.

outlet is near the copier and freely accessible so
that in event of an emergency it can be unplugged
easily.
❐ Make sure the plug is firmly inserted in the outlet.
❐ Voltage must not fluctuate more than 10%.
❐ Always turn the copier off when you have finished copying for the day.
Access To Copier
Place the copier near the power source, providing clearance as shown.
