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.

NOTE

It may be necessary to use a humidifier or dehumidifier to attain the proper humidity

levels for optimal machine performance.

The optimal humidity range is 15% to 60% RH (Relative Humidity) with a room

temperature of 68°F to 80.6°F (20°C to 27°C). 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 15% to 60% RH (Relative Humidity)

with a room temperature of 68°F to 80.6°F (20°C to 27°C). 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.

If a sudden temperature change occurs, this may have an adverse effect 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 imagePRESS V1000.
