PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

2-1.

Installation Site

To ensure safety and utmost performance of the copier, the copier should NOT be used in
a place:
• Where it will be subjected to extremely high or low temperature or humidity.
• Where it will be subjected to sudden fluctuations in either temperature or humidity.
• Which is exposed to direct sunlight.
• Which is in the direct air stream of an air conditioner, heater or ventilator.
• Which has poor ventilation or is dusty.
• Which does not have a stable, level floor or where it will receive undue vibration.
• Which is near any kind of heating device.
• Which is near volatile flammables (thinner, gasoline, etc.).
• Where it may be splashed with water.
• Which puts the operator in the direct stream of exhaust from the copier.
• Where ammonia gas might be generated.
2-2.

Power Source

• 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.
• 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 mecha-
nism.
• 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?
Use an outlet with a capacity of 110/120/127 V, 15 A or more. 220-240 V, 10 A or more.
2-3.

Grounding

• Always ground the copier to prevent receiving electrical shocks in the case of electrical
leakage.
• Connect the ground wire to the ground terminal of the outlet or a grounding contact which
complies with the local electrical standards.
• Never connect the grounding wire to a gas pipe, the ground wire for a telephone, light-
ning arrester, or a water pipe for fear of fire and electrical shock.
