Optimum environmental conditions
• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might
occur.
• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might
occur.
• After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Otherwise the machine might
move or come down to cause an injury.
• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good
ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.
• 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.
• Temperature: 10 32 °C (50 89.6 °F) (humidity to be 54% at 32 °C, 89.6 °F)
• Humidity: 15 80% (temperature to be 27 °C, 80.6 °F at 80%)
• A strong and level base.
• The machine must be level within 5 mm, 0.2 inches: both front to rear and left to right.
Environments to avoid
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of 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 can cause condensation to form inside the machine.)
• Locations close to machines generating ammonia, such as a diazo copy machine.
• Places where the machine is subject to frequent strong vibration.
• Places where the machine is exposed to dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.
• Dusty areas.
• Areas with corrosive gases.
