Preparation for Installation

Installation Site

To ensure a longer life for the fax, it is highly important to select an appropriate installation site.
Choose a site that meets the following requirements.
• A well-ventilated place.
• An area which will not generate ammonia or other organic gas.
• A place which is near a power outlet so that the power cord can be easily plugged in and unplugged.
• An area free from direct sunlight.
• A place which is out of the direct air stream of an air conditioner, heater, or ventilator and is not sub-
ject to extremely high or low temperature or humidity.
• A stable and level location not subject to undue vibration.
• A place free from an object that could block the heat exhausting duct of the fax.
• A place away from a curtain or the like that may catch fire and burn easily.
• An area where there is no possibility of being splashed with water or other types of liquid.
• A dust-free location.

Power Source

The power source voltage requirements are as follows.
• Power source: Voltage fluctuation: Within ±10% (+6%, -10% for 127V power supply)
• Frequency fluctuation: Within ±3Hz
NOTE
• Use a power source with little voltage and frequency fluctuation.
• Use an outlet with the specified voltage capacity only.
• Be sure to plug the power cord all the way into the outlet. The outlet should also be located near the
fax and easily accessible so that the power cord can be unplugged immediately if fax trouble occurs.
• Make sure that the outlet is visible, without being hidden behind this fax or any other office equip-
ment.
• If any other electrical equipment is sourced from the same outlet, make sure that the capacity of the
outlet is not exceeded.
• If an extension cord is needed, use one with a capacity more than the power consumption of the fax.
A cord which falls short of the capacity requirements could lead to a fire.
• Never connect any other appliances or machines by means of a multiple socket to the outlet being
used for the fax.

Grounding

To prevent receiving electrical shocks in the case of electrical leakage, always ground the fax.
Consult your Tech. Rep. if you are unable to make grounding connections.
Connect the grounding wire to:
• The ground terminal of the outlet.
• A grounding contact which complies with the local electrical standards.
*Never connect the grounding wire to a gas pipe, the grounding wire for a telephone, or a water pipe.
