Installation Location and Handling
This section describes precautions for installation location and handling. We recommend that you read this
section prior to using this machine.
Installation Precautions
Avoid Installing the Machine in the Following
Locations
• Avoid locations subject to temperature and humidity
extremes, whether low or high.
For example, avoid installing the machine near
water faucets, hot water heaters, humidifiers, air
conditioners, heaters, or stoves.
• Avoid installing the
machine in direct sunlight.
If this is unavoidable, use
curtains to shade the
machine. Be sure that the
curtains do not block the
machine's ventilation slots
or louvers, or interfere
with the electrical cord or
power supply.
• 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.
• Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust
accumulates.

Installation Location and Handling
• Avoid locations where
ammonia gas is emitted.
• Avoid locations near volatile or flammable materials,
such as alcohol or paint thinner.
• Avoid locations that are
subject to vibration.
For example, avoid
installing the machine on
unstable floors or stands.
• Avoid exposing the
machine to rapid changes in
temperature.
If the room in which the
machine is installed is cold
but rapidly heated, water
droplets (condensation) may
form inside the machine. This
may result in 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
the machine during printing can adversely affect the
operation of such equipment.
