INSTALLATION

COPIER INSTALLATION

Installation

If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the copier. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours before use.

Do not install your copier in areas that are:

●

damp, humid, or very dusty

●

exposed to direct sunlight

●

poorly ventilated

●

subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or heater.

COPIER INSTALLATION

Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.

(10 cm)

A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier during operation. The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.

NOTE:

The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3) calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average concentration. However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.
