  • Page 11: Operating Environment

    Operating Environment General Precautions Follow the instructions provided in this manual only. WARNING: Use the indicated voltage only. Do not use an extension cord with an insufficient power rating or serially connected extension cords as fire or electrical shock may result. A 2-pin outlet cannot be grounded.
  • Page 12 Do not lean against the machine or sit on it. Do not place heavy objects on the machine or subject it to a large impact. Use Fuji-recommended parts for repairs. If other parts are used, Fujifilm will not ensure the quality of the machine.

  • Page 13: Room Conditions

    Room Conditions For normal and safe operation, install the machine in the following environment. Temperature: 15 C to 28 C (Free from moisture condensation) If the temperature in the room is over 28 C or under 15 C, proper printing quality may not be assured.

  • Page 14: Section 5 Maintenance

    Installation Space Secure the amount of space shown below to ensure the proper operation, replacement of consumables, and maintenance of the machine. IMPORTANT: There is a vent at the rear of the machine. Provide a minimum clearance of 8 in. (20 cm) between the vent and the wall. 21in.(530mm) 62in.(1565mm) 8in.(200mm)

  • Page 15: Electrical Hookup

    Electrical Hookup Connect the power plug directly into a 120V 10V, 60 Hz grounded outlet (3-pin) which has a power rating of 15 A or more. WARNING: DO NOT USE a two-pin power outlet which is not grounded, as an electrical shock may result when short circuiting occurs.

  • Page 17 When storing the donor (the donor magazine) or receiver (the receiver magazine), place it in a horizontal position. If stored in an upright position, the donor/receiver roll may become loose and impossible to pull out of the magazine. IMPORTANT: If a sealed donor magazine/receiver magazine is left in a room for a long period or in a hot and damp place, good printing quality may not be obtained.
  • Page 18 When storing an unsealed magazine (D or R), place it in a cool dark place. It is recommended that the donor/receiver leading end be retained with a rubber band to prevent it from being wound into the magazine. Do not tape down the donor/receiver leading edge because residual tape adhesive may adhere to the edge, contaminating the donor/receiver and causing a malfunc- tion.
  • Page 19 Image quality is guaranteed over the entire sheet except for a 0.2- in. (5-mm) boarder along each sides (0.24 in, (6 mm) in the case of Double Letter wide sheets). 0.2in. (5mm) (0.24in. (6mm) for Double Letter wide sheets) The trailing end of the receiver has an end-detection hole. Therefore, the last print produced at the end of a receiver roll may have a hole in it.
