(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.

/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.
• 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-
