The machine performances depend on the environmental conditions
of the installation areas. Avoid installation in the following areas:

1) Avoid high temperature, high humidity, low temperature, low

humidity.
Avoid areas subject to a rapid change in temperature and
humidity.
If installed in such a place, paper may be dampened and conden-
sation may form inside the machine, causing paper jam or dirty
copy. For use and storage of the machine, refer to the specifica-
tions described below.

2) Avoid areas with excessive vibration. It may cause a breakdown

of the machine.

3) Avoid a poorly ventilated area.

This machine uses the static electricity copy process, ozone is
generated in the machine. The quantity of ozone generated is
designed to a harmless level. If, however, the machine is used
continuously in a poorly ventilated place, there may be a smell of
ozone. Therefore install the machine in a well-ventilated area.

4) Avoid area with direct sunlight.

Direct sunlight may deform plastic parts or discolor and spoil
toner, causing dirty copy or a breakdown of the machine.

5) Avoid area with ammonium or organic gases.

This machine which uses an organic photoconductor (OPC) drum,
the drum may be damaged by ammonium or organic gases.
Avoid installation near a diazo type copier. It may cause dirty copy
or a breakdown of the machine.

6) Avoid a dusty area.

If dust enters the machine, it may cause dirty copy or a break-
