Installation

To ensure that you use this machine safely, read the
following precautions carefully before installing the
machine in a suitable location.

WARNING

Do not install in the locations listed below

Doing so may result in a fire or electric shock.

• Locations that risk blocking the ventilation slots (too

close to walls or curtains or on materials such as
deep-pile carpets)

•  Damp or dusty locations
•  Near heating appliances or open flames
•  Near alcohol, paint thinners or other flammable

substances

Do not use a wireless LAN close to medical
equipment (only for products with a wireless LAN
function)

Radio waves can interfere with medical equipment and
cause malfunctions that may lead to accidents.

CAUTION

Do not install in the locations listed below

Doing so could result in a fault or adversely affect
people or other equipment.

• Outdoors or in locations exposed to direct sunlight
• Locations subject to temperature and humidity

extremes, whether low or high

• Locations subject to dramatic changes in

temperature or humidity

• Near equipment that generates magnetic or

electromagnetic waves

• Near electronic devices or precision equipment, such

as TVs, radios and computers

• Laboratories or other locations where chemical

reactions occur

• Locations heavily exposed to aerosol sprays,

ammonia or other corrosive gases

• Locations subject to instability or vibration
• Surfaces that may warp under the weight of the

machine or into which the machine is liable to sink
(carpets, straw matting, beds, etc.)

• Locations where air ventilated from the machine

directly impacts people

Provide adequate ventilation during use

This machine generates small amounts of ozone and
other emissions during normal use. These amounts are
too low to be harmful to humans. However, poorly
ventilated rooms should be adequately ventilated
during extended use or long print runs.

IMPORTANT

When using a wireless LAN (only for products with a
wireless LAN function)

• Install the machine no more than 50 meters from the

wireless LAN router.

• As much as possible, install in a location where

communication is not blocked by intervening
objects. The signal may be degraded when passing

through walls or floors.

• Install the machine as far as possible from digital

cordless phones, microwave ovens or other
equipment that emits radio waves.

Connecting the telephone line (only for machines
that support faxes)

In certain circumstances, this machine may not be able
to communicate via some telephone lines or in some
regions. One such example is when the total resistance
of the telephone line and the machine exceeds 1700Ω.
In this event, contact your dealer or service
representative.

• This machine conforms to an analog telephone line

standard and can only be connected to ordinary
subscriber telephone lines. Connecting the machine
to a business line or other dedicated line may result
in faults. Always check the line before connecting.

Power Supply

WARNING

Using the power plug and cord correctly

Improper use may result in a fire or electric shock.

• Check that the power supply used for the machine is

safe and has a stable voltage.

• Use only a power supply that meets the specified

voltage requirements.

• Connect the machine to a securely grounded power

outlet using the power cord provided.

• Do not use power cords other than the cord

provided.
