NOTE
•
In certain areas of the country and during certain times of the year, it may be
necessary to use a humidifier or dehumidifier to attain the proper humidity levels
for optimal machine performance. There is a risk that productivity and paper
feeding may be affected if the machine is operated outside of these guidelines.
•
The machine should not be installed in locations with significant shifts in
temperature or humidity. Areas containing water, or equipment that can
significantly alter room temperature or humidity, such as a heater, stove, or
portable air conditioner, should be avoided, unless proper environmental control
is available to achieve maximum productivity or quality capability.
5.1 Temperature and Humidity
The optimal humidity range for storing paper is 30% to 70% RH (Relative
Humidity) with a room temperature of 68°F to 80.6°F (20°C to 27°C). Storing paper
in a location that does not meet these specifications may affect paper feeding and
image quality. For example, if the humidity is too high, paper curling and paper
jams will increase. If the humidity is too low, paper may shrink or lose resistance,
and toner will not adhere to the paper as well.
Only use paper that has fully acclimatized to the environment in which the machine
is installed. Using paper that has been stored in a different environment (with a
different temperature and humidity), may cause paper jams or result in poor print
quality.
5.2. Temperature Gradient
If a sudden temperature change occurs, it may have an adverse affect on image
positioning. Sudden temperature changes may cause the paper to bend or
contract, cause the machine to malfunction, and form condensation. Every effort
should be made to maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels in the
operating environment at all times for the VarioPrint 6000+ Series machines.
If a humidifier must be used to regulate the humidity, use one that has a mineral
filter on it.
