Environmental Factors and Requirements

This section describes the necessary environmental factors and requirements in
which the machine should be operated to achieve the best image quality and print
results.

5.1 Temperature and Humidity Conditions

The optimal humidity range is 20% to 80% RH (Relative Humidity) with a room
temperature of 62.6°F to 78.8°F (17°C to 26°C) for print speeds greater than 120
ipm, or 62.6°F to 82.4°F (17°C to 28°C) for print speeds up to 120 ipm. Make sure
to maintain a constant temperature and humidity within this range. Otherwise,
there is a risk that productivity, paper feeding, image quality, and reliability may be
affected if the machine is operated outside of these guidelines.
The machine should not be installed in locations with significant shifts in
temperature or humidity. Areas containing water, or equipment that can
significantly alter room temperature or humidity, such as a space heater, stove, or
portable air conditioner, should be avoided.
The optimal humidity range for storing paper is 20% to 80% RH with a room
temperature of 62.6°F to 78.8°F (17°C to 26°C) for print speeds greater than 120
ipm, or 62.6°F to 82.4°F (17°C to 28°C) for print speeds up to 120 ipm. Storing
paper in a location that does not meet these specifications may affect paper
feeding and image quality. For example, if the humidity is too high, paper curling
and paper jams will increase. If the humidity is too low, paper may shrink or lose
resistance, and toner will not adhere to the paper as well.
Only use paper that has fully acclimatized to the environment in which the machine
is installed. Using paper that has been stored in a different environment (with a
different temperature and humidity), may cause paper jams or result in poor print
quality.

5.2 Temperature Gradient

If a sudden temperature change occurs, it may have an adverse affect on image
positioning. Sudden temperature changes may cause the paper to bend or
contract, cause the machine to malfunction, and form condensation. Every effort
should be made to maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels in the
operating environment at all times for the Océ VarioPrint 135.
