Where to Put Your Machine

Precautions for the Installation Environment of the Machine

WARNING

  • Be sure to install the machine as close as possible to a wall outlet so that you can disconnect the power cord plug easily in an emergency.

CAUTION

  • Do not place the machine in a humid or dusty environment. Doing so can result in fire or electric shock.

  • Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. Doing so can cause the machine to fall or topple over, possibly resulting in injury.

  • After moving the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Otherwise, the machine might move or topple over to cause injury.

  • When using this machine in a poorly ventilated or narrow room continuously for a long period of time or printing a high volume of materials, make sure to ventilate the room sufficiently.

Important

  • Keep the machine away from salt-bearing air and corrosive gases. Also, do not install the machine in places where chemical reactions are likely (laboratories, etc.), as doing so will cause the machine to malfunction.

Do not move the machine to a location described below. Moving it to a location in an unsuitable environment may damage the machine or cause it to malfunction.

  • An area with extremely low or high temperature and humidity
    The machine is designed to be used in the following environment:

    • Temperature: 10–32°C (50–89.6ºF) (in 54% humidity at 32°C)

    • Humidity: 15–80% (in 80% humidity at 27°C)

  • An area subjected to direct sunlight

  • A location close to air conditioning equipment or humidifier

  • A location subjected to strong vibration

  • A confined or poorly ventilated room

  • A dusty environment

  • In the proximity of an oil heater or a device that produces ammonia such as a diazo copying machine

  • On an unstable floor or table

    • Place the machine on a flat and horizontal surface. The machine must be level within 5 mm (0.20 inches) front to rear and left to right.

    • Place the machine on a firm and stable floor. When placing the machine on a table, select a firm and stable table that is designated for the machine only and larger than the size of the machine.

llustration of optimum space for locating the machine

  1. Rear: 10 cm (4.0 inches) or more

  2. Right: 10 cm (4.0 inches) or more

  3. Front: 75 cm (29.6 inches) or more

  4. Left: 10 cm (4.0 inches) or more

Note

  • For the required space around the machine when any option is attached, consult a service engineer.

Precautions When Handling the Power Plug and Cable

WARNING

  • Avoid taking the following actions because doing so can result in fire or electric shock:

    • Using any power supply voltage or frequencies other than those that match the specifications shown

    • Using multi-socket adaptors

    • Using extension cords

    • Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic

  • Avoid applying the following actions to power cords because doing so can result in fire or electric shock:

    • Damaging them

    • Bundling them

    • Modifying them

    • Putting heavy objects on them

    • Pulling them forcibly

    • Bending them forcibly

  • Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so can result in electric shock.

  • If the machine behaves unusually as follows, turn off the power immediately. After turning off the power, make sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet, and then contact your service representative and report the problem. Continuously using the power cord can result in fire or electric shock.

    • The machine is emitting smoke

    • The machine is emitting odors

    • Metal objects or other foreign objects have fallen inside the machine

    • Water or other fluids have fallen inside the machine

    • An error message is displayed that indicates that the machine has stopped due to high voltage.


  • To prevent fire or electric shock, disconnect the plug and the power cord from the wall outlet at least once a year and check them. If any of the following conditions exist, do not use the plug and the power cord continuously, and consult your dealer or service representative.

    • There are burn marks on the plug

    • The prongs on the plug are deformed

    • The power cord's inner wires are exposed or broken

    • The power cord's coating is cracked, dented, or damaged

    • When the power cord is bent, the power turns off and on

    • Part of the power cord becomes hot

  • The supplied power cord or cords are for use with this machine only. They cannot be used for appliances other than this machine. Also, do not use power cords other than the power cord or cords supplied with this machine. Doing so can result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

  • When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, make sure to pull the plug, not the cord. Do not pull the power cord forcibly. Doing so can damage the power cord, possibly resulting in fire or electric shock.

  • Be sure to push the power cord plug fully into the wall outlet. Also, do not push it into loose and unstable wall outlets likely to cause a contact failure. Doing so can result in heat generation.

  • Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.

  • If you do not use the machine for a long period of time such as consecutive holidays, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet for reasons of safety.

  • When performing maintenance on the machine, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet for safety.
  • Power Source

    • (mainly Europe and Asia)

      220-240 V, 8 A or more, 50/60 Hz

    • Region B icon(mainly North America)

      120-127 V, 12 A or more, 60 Hz
