Optimum Environmental Conditions
- Be sure to install the machine as close as possible to a wall outlet so that you can disconnect the power cord plug easily in an emergency.
- Do not place the machine in a humid or dusty environment. Doing so can result in fire or electric shock.
- Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. Doing so can cause the machine to fall or topple over, possibly resulting in injury.
- When using this machine in a poorly ventilated or narrow room continuously for a long period of time or printing a high volume of materials, make sure to ventilate the room sufficiently.
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.
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%)
Blue part: Recommended range
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.
