Before Using the Scanner
Safe Operation
In order to ensure safe operation, be certain to read the cautions described
below.
Installation Location
The performance of this scanner is affected by the environment in which it is
installed. Make sure that the location where the scanner is installed meets the
following environmental requirements:
• Provide adequate space around the scanner (as indicated in the above
diagram) for operation, maintenance, and ventilation purposes.
• Provide adequate space behind the scanner in order to eject scanned
documents to the back of the scanner. (See “Document Eject Tray,” on p. 45. )
• Avoid locations exposed to direct sunlight. If the scanner must be placed in
such a spot, hang a heavy curtain or similar object to shade the scanner.
• Avoid dusty locations. Dust can get inside of the scanner and cause
problems.
• Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the vicinity of a water faucet,
water heater, or humidifier, and avoid locations where the fumes from
ammonia, paint thinner, or other volatile chemicals may be present.
• Avoid unstable surfaces and locations subject to vibration.
