2. Precautions for Use
= Locate the Copier in a Well Ventilated Room =
A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of this copier. An
unpleasant odor may, however, be created in poorly ventilated rooms during extensive copier
operations. For a comfortable, healthy, and safe operating environment, it is recommended that
the room be well ventilated.
NOTE
Operating Environmen
The operating environmental requirements of the copier are as follows.
Temperature : 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 86°F) with a fluctuation of 10°C (50°F) per hour.
Humidit : 15% to 85% with a fluctuation of 20% per hour.
Using the Copier Properly
To ensure the optimum performance of the copier, follow the precautions listed below.
= Placer le copieur dans une pièce largement ventilée =
Une quantité d’ozone négligable est dégagée pendant le fonctionnement du copieur quand
celui-ci est utilisé normalement. Cependant, une odeur désagréable peut être ressentie dans les
pièces dont l’aération est insuffisante et lorsque une utilisation prolongée du copieur est
effectuée. Pour avoir la certitude de travailler dans un environnement réunissant des conditions
de confort, santé et de sécurité, il est préférable de bien aérer la pièce ou se trouve le copieur.
REMARQUE
•
NEVER place a heavy object on the copier or subject the copier to shocks.
•
NEVER open any doors, or turn OFF the copier while the copier is making copies.
•
NEVER bring any magnetized object or use flammable sprays near the copier.
•
NEVER remodel the copier, as a fire or electrical shock could result.
•
ALWAYS insert the power plug all the way into the outlet.
•
ALWAYS make sure that the outlet is visible, clear of the copier or copier cabinet.
•
ALWAYS provide good ventilation when making a large number of continuous copies.
Care of Copier Supplies
Use the following precautions when handling the copier supplies (toner, paper, etc.).
Moving
If you need to transport the copier over a long distance, consult your Technical Representative.
•
Store the paper, toner, and other supplies in a place free from direct sunlight and away from any
heating apparatus. Keep them in a dry, clean environment.
•
Store paper, which has been removed from its wrapper but not loaded into the drawer, in a
sealed plastic bag in a cool, dark place.
•
Keep supplies out of the reach of children.
•
If your hands become soiled with toner, wash them with soap and water immediately.
