Where to Put the Printer

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

WARNING

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

WARNING

  • 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.

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

  • 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.

CAUTION

  • 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.

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

  • 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.

Space Required for Installation

The recommended (or minimum) space requirements are as follows:

Optimum Environmental Conditions

Permissible and recommended temperature and humidity ranges are as follows:

Optimum environmental conditions illustration

  • White area: Permissible Range

  • Blue area: Recommended Range

To avoid possible build-up of ozone, locate this machine in large well ventilated room that has an air turnover of more than 30m3/hr/person.

Environments to Avoid

Important

  • 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.

  • Set up the machine so that it does not directly ventilate towards people.

  • Ventilation should be more than 30 m3/hr/person.

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.
