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 copy 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.

Dusty locations

If dust enters the machine, dirty output and machine failure
may result.

Locations exposed to direct sunlight

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 9)

If the location has an ultrasonic humidifier, use pure water for
humidifiers 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.

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. The
indicated distances are for the case when a saddle finisher
and large capacity paper tray are not installed.)

11-13/16"
(30cm)

Plastic parts may become deformed and dirty output may
result.

Locations with ammonia gas

Installing the machine next to a diazo copy machine may
cause dirty output.

Locations subject to vibration.

Vibration may cause failure.

11-13/16"
(30cm)

The machine includes a built-in hard drive. Do not subject the machine to shock or vibration. In particular, never
move the machine while the power is on.

• The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.

• Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the
same outlet, the light may flicker.
