Ricoh Aficio SP 5200S Operating Instructions Manual page 170

9. Remarks
• After scanning originals continuously, the exposure glass may become warm - this is not a
malfunction.
• The area around the ventilation holes might feel warm. This is caused by exhaust air and is not a
malfunction.
• If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, condensation may form inside it. After
moving the machine, do not use it for at least an hour. The machine requires this time to adapt to its
new environment.
• The machine will malfunction if its internal temperature becomes too high. Be sure not to block the
intake and exhaust vents.
• Do not turn off the power while the machine is in operation. See "Turning On/Off the Power".
• Do not open the covers of the machine when it is in operation. If you do, misfeeds might occur.
• Do not move or tilt the machine when the power is on.
• Do not allow small objects such as paper clips to fall into or become stuck inside the machine.
• Do not knock the machine while it is operating (for instance, do not use the machine's surfaces to
knock stacks of paper into square).
• Depending on the ambient temperature and humidity, steam may come from the exhaust vent
behind the control panel during printing. This is water vapor from the paper, not a sign of
malfunction.
• Be sure to make a note of the registered machine settings in case they are lost due to accident or
malfunction.
• The manufacturer shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from a failure of the machine,
loss of settings, or use of the machine.
Ventilation
When you use this machine in a confined space without good ventilation for a long time or print
large quantities, you might detect an odd smell.
This might cause the output paper to also have an odd smell.
When you detect an odd smell, regularly ventilate in order to keep the workplace comfortable.
• Set up the machine so that it does not directly ventilate towards people.
• Ventilation should be more than 30 m
New machine smell
When a machine is new, it might have a unique smell. This smell will subside in about one week.
When you detect an odd smell, sufficiently ventilate and circulate the air in the room.
