PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

Installation Site
To ensure safety and utmost performance of the copier, the copier should
NOT be used in a place:
Where it will be subject to extremely high or low temperature or
humidity.
Which is exposed to direct sunlight.
Which is in the direct air stream of an air conditioner, heater or
ventilator.
Which puts the operator in the direct stream of exhaust from the copier.
Which has poor ventilation.
Where ammonia gas might be generated.
Which does not have a stable, level floor.
Where it will be subject to sudden fluctuations in either temperature or
humidity.
If a cold room is quickly heated, condensation forms inside the copier,
resulting in blank spots in the copy.
Which is near any kind of heating device.
Where it may be splashed with water.
Which is dirty or where it will receive undue vibration.
Which is near volatile flammables or curtains.
Power Source
Use an outlet with a capacity of 115/120/127V, 13.2A or more, or
200/220/240V, 8.1A or more.
If any other electrical equipment is sourced from the same power
outlet, make sure that the capacity of the outlet is not exceeded.
Use a power source with little voltage fluctuation.
Never connect by means of a multiple socket any other appliances or
machines to the outlet being used for the copier.
Make the following checks at frequent intervals:
•
Is the power plug abnormally hot?
•
Are there any cracks or scrapes in the cord?
•
Has the power plug been inserted fully into the outlet?
•
Does something, including the copier itself, ride on the power cord?
Ensure that the copier does not ride on the power cord or
communications cable of other electrical equipment, and that it does
not become wedged into or underneath the mechanism.
Grounding
To prevent receiving electrical shocks in the case of electrical leakage,
always ground the copier.
Connect the grounding wire to:
•
The ground terminal of the outlet.
•
A grounding contact which complies with the local electrical standards.
Never connect the grounding wire to a gas pipe, the grounding wire for
a telephone, or a water pipe.
