Safety Precautions

To use this scanner safely, please observe the following precautions.

Finding the Right Location

CAUTION:
• Place the scanner on a sturdy, level surface.
• Keep ambient room conditions within the following ranges:
Temperature: 5 °C to 35 °C or 41 °F to 95 °F
Humidity: 10% to 90% relative humidity (avoid condensation)
• Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Parts within the scanner operate at
high temperatures and can cause injury. If placement near a window is unavoidable, be sure to block
direct sunlight with curtains or other devices.
• Do not place the scanner in locations where temperature and humidity levels fluctuate significantly.
Avoid moving the scanner from a hot area to a cold one to avoid condensation, which will adversely
affect scanned image quality. If it becomes necessary to move the scanner between temperature
gradients, allow it to adjust to ambient room conditions before initiating operation.
• Keep the scanner away from devices generating magnetic or electromagnetic interference. Such inter-
ference can cause the scanner to operate incorrectly.
• Avoid placing the unit in areas subject to vibration and dust, or near sources of flame and water.
• Do not position the scanner in laboratories, areas in which chemical reactions occur, or in environ-
ments that have salty or oily air or corrosive gases. These conditions can damage the scanner.

Power Source Considerations

CAUTION:
• Only use power sources (standard household electrical outlets) within the following ranges:
Voltage: 110V to 240V AC ± 10%
Frequency: 50 Hz or 60 Hz ± 2 Hz
• Avoid connecting several devices to the same electrical outlet as the scanner.In particular, avoid con-
necting an air conditioner, photocopier, shredder or a similar device to the same outlet. This may lead
to power drains and noise interference that cause scanner malfunctions. If you must connect multiple
devices to the same electrical outlet, use a power bar equipped with a circuit breaker and a high-
frequency noise elimination filter.
• Ensure that the electrical outlet you use for the scanner has sufficient power output.
• If you must use an extension cord, be sure the total combined length of the cords does not exceed 5
meters (16.5 feet). Extensions exceeding this length may cause a drop in voltage, which will adversely
affect scanner operations.
