Place to Install

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

WARNING

  • Do not use any frequencies other than those that match the specifications shown. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

  • Do not use any power sources other than those that match the specifications shown in “Safety Information”. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

  • Do not use multi-socket adaptors. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

  • Do not use extension cords. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

  • Do not use power cords that are damaged, broken, or modified. Also, do not use power cords that have been trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or bent severely. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

  • Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic constitutes a fire and electric shock hazard.

  • The supplied power cord is for use with this machine only. Do not use it with other appliances. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

  • It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric shock.

  • If the power cord is damaged and its inner wires are exposed or broken, contact your service representative for a replacement. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.

  • Be sure to locate the machine as close as possible to a wall outlet. This will allow easy disconnection of the power cord in the event of an emergency.

  • Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Also, avoid placing these items in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

  • 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.

  • After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Otherwise the machine might move or come down to cause an injury.

  • 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.

  • Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.

  • When new, electrical devices containing volatile materials will normally release emissions into the air of their vicinity. For this reason, for the first few days after installation of a new device, strong ventilation inside the room where it is placed is necessary.

Important

  • Do not place the machine directly on the floor.

Space Required for Installation

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

Illustration of space required for installation

Optimum Environmental Conditions

Permissible and recommended temperature and humidity ranges are as follows:

Illustration of optimum environmental conditions

  • White area: Permissible Range

  • Blue area: Recommended Range

Note

  • The machine must be level within 5 mm, 0.2" from both front to rear and left to right.

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.

Environments to Avoid

Do not use the machine in the following environments:

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, heaters, or humidifiers

  • Locations near other electronic equipment

  • Locations subject to frequent strong vibration

Power Source

Connect the power cord to a power source of the following specification:

Region A icon(mainly Europe and Asia)

220–240 V, 50/ 60 Hz, 5 A

Region B icon(mainly North America)

120–127 V, 60 Hz, 9 A
