1. Installing the Copier
Installation Site
To ensure utmost safety and prevent possible malfunctions of the copier, install it in a location which
meets the following requirements.
â—†
A place away from a curtain or the like that may catch fire and burn easily.
â—†
An area where there is no possibility of being splashed with water or other types of liquid.
â—†
An area free from direct sunlight.
â—†
A place out of the direct air stream of an air conditioner, heater, or ventilator.
â—†
A well-ventilated place.
â—†
A dry place.
â—†
A dust-free location.
â—†
An area not subject to undue vibration.
â—†
A stable and level location.
Power Source
The power source voltage requirements are as follows.
â—†
Use a power source with little voltage fluctuation.
â—†
If any other electrical equipment is sourced from the same power outlet, make sure that the
capacity of the outlet is not exceeded.
â—†
The outlet should be located near the copier and easily accessible.
â—†
Never connect any other appliances or machines by means of a multiple socket to the outlet being
used for the copier.
â—†
If an extension cord is needed, use one with a capacity more than the power consumption of the
copier.
â—†
Make sure that no unusual, excessive force is being applied to the power cord or extension cord.
Grounding
To prevent receiving electrical shocks in the case of electrical leakage, always ground the copier.
Connect the grounding wire to:
â—†
The ground terminal of the outlet.
â—†
A grounding contact which complies with the local electrical standards.
Voltage Fluctuation : Within ±10%
Frequency Fluctuation : Within ±0.3%

= 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 Environment
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.
Humidity : 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.
â—†
NEVER place a heavy object on the copier or subject the copier to shocks.
â—†
NEVER open any Doors, or turn OFF the copier while the copier is making copies.
â—†
NEVER bring any magnetized object or use flammable sprays near the copier.
â—†
NEVER place a vase or vessel containing water on the copier.
â—†
NEVER drop paper clips, staples, or other small pieces of metal into the copier.
â—†
NEVER attempt to remove any Cover that is secured.
â—†
ALWAYS insert the Power Plug all the way into the outlet.
â—†
ALWAYS make sure that the outlet is visible, clear of the copier or copier cabinet.
â—†
ALWAYS ensure that the copier does not ride on the power cord or communications cable of other
electrical equipment, and it does not get such a cord or cable wedged into its own mechanism.
â—†
NEVER leave a damaged or cracked copier power cord unattended. If you find any of these
conditions, immediately shut down the copier, unplug the power cord, and call your Technical
Representative for appropriate action.
â—†
ALWAYS provide good ventilation when making a large number of continuous copies.
â—†
NEVER leave the copier running when it becomes inordinately hot or produces abnormal noise. If
that happens, immediately turn OFF the copier, unplug it, and then call your Technical
Representative.
2. Precautions for Use
= 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.
