PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

J Installation Site
To ensure safety and utmost performance of the copier, the copier should NOT be
used in a place:
F Where it will be subjected to extremely high or low temperature or humidity.
F Which is exposed to direct sunlight.
F Which is in the direct air stream of an air conditioner, heater or ventilator.
F Which puts the operator in the direct stream of exhaust from the copier.
F Which has poor ventilation.
F Where ammonia gas might be generated.
F Which does not have a stable, level floor.
F Where it will be subjected 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.
F Which is near any kind of heating device.
F Where it may be splashed with water.
F Which is dirty or where it will receive undue vibration.
F Which is near volatile flammables or curtains.
J Power Source
Use an outlet with a capacity of 115/120/127V, 1480W or more, or 220-240V, 1550W
or more.
F If any other electrical equipment is sourced from the same power outlet, make sure
that the capacity of the outlet is not exceeded.
F Use a power source with little voltage fluctuation.
F Never connect by means of a multiple socket any other appliances or machines
to the outlet being used for the copier.
F Make the following checks at frequent intervals:
D Is the power plug abnormally hot?
D Are there any cracks or scrapes in the cord?
D Has the power plug been inserted fully into the outlet?
D Does something, including the copier itself, ride on the power cord?
F 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 under-
neath the mechanism.
J Grounding
To prevent receiving electrical shocks in the case of electrical leakage, always ground
the copier.
F Connect the grounding wire to:
D The ground terminal of the outlet.
D A grounding contact which complies with the local electrical standards.
F Never connect the grounding wire to a gas pipe, the grounding wire for a telephone,
or a water pipe.
