• A strong and level base.
• The machine must be level within 5mm, 0.2" both front to rear and left to
right.
• To avoid possible build-up of ozone, be sure to locate this machine in a large
well ventilated room that has an air turnover of more than 30 m
3
/hr/person.
Environments to avoid
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight or strong light (more than 1,500 lux).
• Locations directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner or heated air
from a heater. (Sudden temperature changes might cause condensation with-
in the machine.)
•
Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. A fire or an elec-
tric shock might occur.
•
Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it top-
ples over, it could cause injury.
•
Before moving the machine, be sure to pull all four handles fully
out. Not doing this may result in an injury, such as getting your
fingers pinched. After moving the machine, return the four han-
dles to their original positions.
•
When the optional paper tray unit is installed, do not push the up-
per part of the main unit horizontally. If the paper tray unit be-
comes detached from the main unit, this could cause an injury.
•
If you use the machine in a confined space, make sure there is a
continuous air turnover.
