Doing so could result in a fault or adversely affect
people or other equipment.
• Outdoors or in locations exposed to direct sunlight
• Locations subject to temperature and humidity
extremes, whether low or high

directly impacts people
Provide adequate ventilation during use
This machine generates small amounts of ozone and
other emissions during normal use. These amounts are
too low to be harmful to humans. However, poorly
ventilated rooms should be adequately ventilated
during extended use or long print runs.
IMPORTANT
When using a wireless LAN (only for products with a
wireless LAN function)
• Install the machine no more than 50 meters from the
wireless LAN router.

communication is not blocked by intervening
objects. The signal may be degraded when passing
through walls or floors.
• Install the machine as far as possible from digital
cordless phones, microwave ovens or other
equipment that emits radio waves.
Connecting the telephone line (only for machines
that support faxes)
In certain circumstances, this machine may not be able
to communicate via some telephone lines or in some
regions. One such example is when the total resistance
of the telephone line and the machine exceeds 1700Ω.
In this event, contact your dealer or service
representative.

standard and can only be connected to ordinary
subscriber telephone lines. Connecting the machine
to a business line or other dedicated line may result
in faults. Always check the line before connecting.
