Where to Put the Printer

The printer's location should be carefully chosen because environmental conditions greatly affect its performance.

The supplied power cord is for use with this equipment only. Do not use with other appliances. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.

Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols. A fire or an electric shock might occur.

The wall outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily accessible.

Connect the machine only to the power source described in this manual. Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and do not use an extension cord. Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on it. Do not pull it hard nor bend it more than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.

Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

Do not place vases, plant pots, cups, toiletries, medicines, small metal objects, or containers holding water or any other liquids, on or close to this machine. Fire or electric shock could result from spillage or if such objects or substances fall inside this machine.

Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might occur.

Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might occur.

Do not place heavy objects on the machine. Doing so can cause the machine to topple over, possibly resulting in injury.

Keep the machine in an area that is within optimum environmental conditions. Operating the machine in an environment that is outside the recommended ranges of humidity and temperature can cause an electrical fire hazard. Keep the area around the socket free of dust. Accumulated dust can become an electrical fire hazard.

Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.

Do not obstruct the machine's vents. Doing so risks fire caused by overheated internal components.

Machine sound levels exceeding [Sound Power Level (Black and White)] > 63dB (A) are not suitable for desk work environments, so place the machine in another room.

Keep the machine away from salt-bearing air and corrosive gases. Also, do not install the machine in places where chemical reactions are likely (laboratories, etc.), as doing so will cause the machine to malfunction.

Optimum environmental conditions illustration

Environments to Avoid

Areas exposed to direct sunlight or strong light
Dusty areas
Areas with corrosive gases
Areas that are excessively cold, hot, or humid
Areas directly exposed to currents of hot, cold, or room-temperature air from air conditioners
Areas directly exposed to radiant heat from heaters
Locations near air conditioners or humidifiers
Locations near other electronic equipment
Locations subject to frequent strong vibration

Ventilation

When you use this machine in a confined space without good ventilation for a long time or print large quantities, you might detect an odd smell.

This might cause the output paper to also have an odd smell.

When you detect an odd smell, regularly ventilate in order to keep the workplace comfortable.

New machine smell

When a machine is new, it might have a unique smell. This smell will subside in about one week.

When you detect an odd smell, sufficiently ventilate and circulate the air in the room.

Power Source

Please be sure to connect the power cord to a power source as above.
