Avoid the following environments when locating the machine. If the machine is placed somewhere where the conditions are different from those recommended, a failure may occur.

• Low temperature and humidity or high temperature and humidity

  The following is the recommended temperature and humidity range:

  • Temperature: 10–32 °C (50–89.6 °F) (humidity to be 54% at 32 °C, 89.6 °F)

  • Humidity: 15–80% (temperature to be 27 °C, 80.6 °F at 80%)

• Places that are exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of strong light (more than 1,500 lux)

• Places that are directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner or heated air from a heater (Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form inside the machine)

• Places that are where the machine will be subject to frequent strong vibration

• Places that are where the machine is exposed to dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow

• Places that are with poor ventilation

• Dusty areas

• Places that are close to machines generating ammonia, such as a diazo copy machine

• Unstable places

  • Place the machine on a level spot. The machine must be level within 5 mm, 0.2 inches: both front to rear and left to right.

  • Place the machine on a strong base. If placing the machine on a base, use a strong base such as a table that is wider than the machine.
