1. Cautions regarding the installation location
CAUTION
Installation environment
► Avoid installing the machine in places exposed to direct sunlight.
● Sunlight will cause the temperature in the machine's interior to rise, possibly leading to
malfunction of the control system.
● Sunlight could cause misoperation of the sensors.
● The heat of direct sunlight could cause deformation of the machine's plastic parts.
*Also avoid installation near to a ground glass window; light and heat penetrate such
windows although they are opaque.
► Avoid installing the machine in places subject to high or low temperature or humidity.
● High or low temperature or humidity could cause the machine to operate abnormally.
Suitable temperature and humidity ranges are:
Ambient temperature: 10 o C-35 o C
Ambient humidity: 40%-70%
Optimum temperature and humidity: 20 o C, 65%
● If the machine is installed near to faucets, water heaters or humidifiers, or in cool (sunless)
parts of a building or in the vicinity of water sources, the paper could absorb moisture and
curl, leading to misfeeds or poor image quality.
► Avoid installing the machine in places with open flames, or where reflected heat or other
hot air currents (from stoves, etc), or cold air currents from air conditioners, etc will strike it
directly.
► Avoid installing the machine in poorly ventilated places.
► Avoid installing the machine in dusty places.
► The machine should not be tilting when it is used.
● Install the machine so that it is level.
(The machine should be level to within 5mm in the front-rear direction, and 5mm in the
lateral direction.)
► Do not install the machine on shaky, sloping or otherwise unstable surfaces.
● The machine could fall over on such surfaces, or fall off them, causing injury.
