Installation Precautions

Environment

Caution

Avoid placing the machine on or in locations which are unstable or not level. Such locations may cause the machine to fall down or fall over. This type of situation presents a danger of personal injury or damage to the machine.

Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or dirt become attached to the power plug, clean the plug to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock.

Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat sources, or locations near flammable items, to avoid the danger of fire.

To keep the machine cool and facilitate changing of parts and maintenance, allow access space as shown below. Leave adequate space, especially around the rear cover, to allow air to be properly ventilated out of the printer.

7-7/8" (200mm)

11-13/16" (300mm)

Other Precautions

Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe operation and performance of the machine. Install in an air-conditioned room (recommended room temperature: around 23°C (73.4°F), humidity: around 60% RH), and avoid the following locations when selecting a site for the machine.

• Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to direct sunlight.

• Avoid locations with vibrations.

• Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.

• Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.

• Avoid poorly ventilated locations.

During printing, some ozone is released, but the amount does not cause any ill effect to one's health. If, however, the printer is used over a long period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when printing an extremely large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To maintain the appropriate environment for print work, it is suggested that the room be properly ventilated.
