Moving and Transporting the Machine

This section provides cautions that you must follow when moving the machine both short and long distances.

Repack the machine in its original packing materials when moving it over a long distance.

After moving the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Otherwise, the machine might move or topple over to cause injury.

When moving the machine, do not hold the front frame of the machine. Doing so may damage the machine and can result in injury or malfunction. Use the inset grips on both sides.

Be sure to disconnect all cables from the machine before transporting it.
The machine is a precision piece of machinery. Be sure to handle it carefully when moving it.
Make sure to move the machine horizontally. Take extra caution when carrying the machine up or down stairs.
If Tray 2 or Tray 3 is installed, remove it from the machine, and move them separately.
Be sure to hold the machine level while carrying it. To prevent toner from spilling, move the machine carefully.
The optional anti-humidity heater warms the machine's interior to maintain the proper humidity. The heater keeps the machine warm even if the main power switch is turned off.

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.

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.

Be sure to check the following points:

The power switch is turned off.
The power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet.
All other cables are unplugged from the machine.

If Tray 2 or Tray 3 is installed, remove it.

Lift the machine using the inset grips on both sides. Lifting the machine requires two people.

If you have removed Tray 2 or Tray 3, reinstall it.

To move the machine over a long distance, pack it well and empty all the paper trays. Take care not to tip or tilt the machine during transit.
Toner might spill inside the machine if the machine is not kept level during transit.
