Installation Location and Handling
Avoid poorly ventilated locations.
This machine generates a slight amount of ozone
etc. during normal use. Although sensitivity to ozone
etc. may vary, this amount is not harmful. Ozone etc.
may be more noticeable during extended use or long
production runs, especially in poorly ventilated rooms.
It is recommended that the room be appropriately
ventilated, sufficient to maintain a comfortable working
environment, in areas of machine operation. In addition,
do not install this machine where it exhausts directly
onto a person.
Avoid locations that are subject to vibration./
Avoid exposing the machine to rapid changes in
temperature.
If the room in which the machine is installed is cold
but rapidly heated, water

a noticeable degradation
in the quality of the copied
image, the inability to
properly scan an original,
or the copies having no
printed image at all.
Avoid installing the machine near computers or
other precision electronic equipment.
Electrical interference and vibrations generated by
