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.
• To avoid possible buildup of
ozone, be sure to locate this ma-
chine 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 sun-
light or other sources of strong
light (more than 1,500 lux).
• Locations directly exposed to cool
air from an air conditioner or heat-
ed air from a heater. (Sudden tem-
perature changes can cause
condensation to form inside the
machine.)
• Locations close to machines gener-
ating ammonia, such as a diazo
copy machine.
• Places where the machine will be
subject to frequent strong vibra-
tion.
•Dusty areas.
• Areas with corrosive gases.
Moving
R
CAUTION:
Important
❒ Be careful when moving the ma-
chine. Take the following precau-
tions:
• Turn off the main power. See
p.26 “Turning Off the Main
Power”.
• Unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet. When you pull
out the plug from the socket,
grip the plug to avoid damag-
ing the cord, thereby reducing
the risk of fire or electric shock.
• Close all covers and trays, in-
cluding the front cover and by-
pass tray.
• Keep the machine away from hu-
midity and dust. Otherwise a fire
or an electric shock might occur.
• Do not place the machine on an
unstable or tilted surface. If it top-
ples over, an injury might occur.
• If you use the machine in a con-
fined space, make sure there is a
continuous air turnover.
• Unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet before you move the
machine. While moving the ma-
chine, you should take care that
the power cord will not be dam-
aged under the machine.
