PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

3-1.

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.
3-2.

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 communication 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 115/120/127 V or 220-240 V.
3-3.

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 ground wire to a gas pipe, the ground wire for a telephone, lightning
arrester, or a water pipe for fear of fire and electrical shock.
