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 m3/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.
iv
WHERE TO PUT YOUR COPIER
