Operational Safety
Your system and supplies were designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. These 
include safety agency examination, approval, and compliance with established environmental 
standards.
Your attention to the following safety guidelines helps to ensure the continued, safe operation 
of your system.
 
System Location
■ Place the system in a dust-free area within a temperature range of 50° F to 90° F (10° C to 
32° C) and a relative humidity range of 10 percent to 80 percent.
■ Place the system in an area where there is adequate space for ventilation, operation, and 
servicing. 
■ Do not place the system on a carpeted location such as a carpeted floor. Airborne carpet 
fibers can be pulled into the system and cause print- and copy-quality problems.
■ Do not place the system near a heat source.
■ Do not place the system in direct sunlight to avoid exposure to light-sensitive components.
■ Do not place the system where it is directly exposed to the cold air flow from an air 
conditioning system.
System Clearance
The recommended minimal spacing is:
■ 30 cm (11.8 in.) above, measuring from the top of the document feeder or document cover
■ 24 cm (9.5 in.) behind the system
■ 10 cm (4 in.) on the left side of the system
■ 37 cm (14.5 in.) on the right side of the system, to allow access to the maintenance unit 
and waste tray
Operational Guidelines
■ Do not block or cover the slots and opening on the system. The system may overheat 
without adequate ventilation.
■ Use the system at elevations below 2,438 m (8,000 ft.).
■ Place the system on a level, solid non-vibrating surface with adequate strength to hold the 
weight of the system. It should be within two degrees horizontal with all four feet in solid 
contact with the surface. The base system weight without any packaging materials is 
approximately 38 kg (83.3 lb.).
