INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

The performance of the machine is affected by the ambient conditions of the
installation location. Do not install in the following locations:

CAUTION:
Do not install the machine in

a location with poor air
circulation.

A small amount of ozone is created
inside the machine during printing. The
amount of ozone created is not sufficient
to be harmful; however, an unpleasant
odor may be noticed during large printing
runs, and thus the machine should be
installed in a room with a ventilation fan
or windows that provide sufficient air
circulation. (The odor may occasionally
cause headaches.)

* Install the machine so that people are

not directly exposed to exhaust from
the machine. If installed near a
window, ensure that the machine is not
exposed to direct sunlight.

Do not install the machine in
locations that are excessively
hot, cold, humid, or dry (near
heaters, humidifiers, air
conditioners, etc.)

The paper will become damp and
condensation may form inside the
machine, causing misfeeds and dirty
output.

☞ Ambient environment (page 16)

If the location has an ultrasonic humidifier,
use pure water in the humidifier. If tap
water is used, minerals and other
impurities will be emitted, causing
impurities to collect on the inside of the
machine and create dirty output.
Exercise care not to expose the paper exit
part of the machine to wind or exhaust air.
The output paper may be blown to the
floor.

Near a wall

Be sure to allow the required space
around the machine for servicing and
proper ventilation. (The machine should
be no closer than the distances indicated
below from walls.)

standing up. If the toner cartridge is stored standing up, the toner may solidify
inside the cartridge.
Store the toner in a location that is cooler than 104°F (40°C). Storage in a hot
location may cause the toner in the cartridge to solidify.

Staple cartridge

The finisher requires the following staple cartridge:

MX-SCX1 (for finisher)
Approx. 5000 per cartridge x 3 cartridges
