Installation Environment
Before using the image scanner, be sure that the place of installation meets all of the
following requirements.
Power Supply
• Use the scanner only within the following power range:
Voltage: 90-132 V (115 VAC)
Supply frequency: 50—60 Hz
• Make sure that the total length of the power cord (Including extension cord) Is not more
than 5 meters (16.5 feet). Reduced voltage and malfunction may result If a longer cord Is
used.
• Do not plug other electrical equipment Into the same outlet.
• Do not use the same electrical outlet on a circuit supplying power to an air conditioner,
copier, shredder, etc., since noise they produce may cause malfunction.
• If using a common outlet Is unavoidable. Install a voltage transformer or a high-frequency
noise filter. Install a voltage regulator or similar device If the power source Is not stable.
Operating Environment
• Use the Image scanner only within the following temperature and humidity ranges.
Ambient temperature: 5°—35°C (41°—95°F)
Ambient humidity: 5—90%
• Avoid direct sunlight and place the scanner In a cool location.
• Do not Install the Image scanner near devices containing magnets or generating
magnetic fields.
• Place on a flat, even surface.
• Do not Install the Image scanner In a dusty place or where there Is ammonia gas. This
might damage the Image processor or the main body Itself.
• When Installing or using the Image scanner where the ambient humidity Is less than 30%,
use a humidifier or an antistatic mat to prevent the Image scanner from building up an
electrostatic charge.
• Avoid moving the Image scanner from a cool to warm place to prevent condensation. If
condensation appears around the CCD, the scanner will produce a black Image
regardless of the copy Image. If moving the scanner from a warm to cool area Is
unavoidable, be sure to allow It to adjust to Its new environment before using It.
