Install Location

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

WARNING

  • 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.

Important

  • 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.

  • Do not place the printer directly on the floor.

  • White area: Permissible Range

  • Blue area: Recommended Range

Note

  • The printer must be level within 3 mm, 0.1" from both front to rear and left to right.

Ventilation

When you use this printer 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 printer so that it does not directly ventilate towards people.

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

New machine smell

When a printer 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 printer 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
