Installation

To use this machine safely and comfortably, 
carefully read the following precautions and 
install the machine in an appropriate location.

WARNING

Do not install in a location that may result in a 
fi re or electrical shock

•  A location where the ventilation slots are 

blocked (too close to walls, beds, sofas, rugs, or 
similar objects)

•  A damp or dusty location
•  A location exposed to direct sunlight or 

outdoors

•  A location subject to high temperatures
•  A location exposed to open fl ames
•  Near alcohol, paint thinners or other 

fl ammable substances

Other warnings

•  Do not connect unapproved cables to this 

machine. Doing so may result in a fi re or 
electrical shock.

•  Do not place necklaces and other metal 

objects or containers fi lled with liquid on the 
machine. If foreign substances come in 
contact with electrical parts inside the 
machine, it may result in a fi re or electrical 
shock.

•  If any foreign substance falls into this machine, 

unplug the power plug from the AC power 
outlet and contact your dealer or service 
representative.

CAUTION

Do not install in the following locations

The machine may drop or fall, resulting in injury.

•  An unstable location

•  Do not use near medical equipment. Radio 

waves emitted from this machine may 
interfere with medical equipment, which may 
result in malfunctions and accidents.

If the operating noise concerns you

Depending on the use environment and 
operating mode, if the operating noise is of 
concern, it is recommended that the machine be 
installed in a place other than the offi

  ce.

Moving the Machine

If you intend to move the machine, even to a 
location on the same fl oor of your building, 
contact your dealer or service representative 
beforehand. Do not attempt to move the 
machine yourself.

Power Supply

WARNING

•  Use only a power supply that meets the 

specifi ed voltage requirements. Failure to do 
so may result in a fi re or electrical shock.

•  The machine must be connected to a 

socket-outlet with grounding connection by 
the provided power cord.

•  Do not use power cords other than the one 

provided, as this may result in a fi re or 
electrical shock.

•  The provided power cord is intended for use 

with this machine. Do not connect the power 
cord to other devices.

•  Do not modify, pull, forcibly bend, or perform 

any other act that may damage the power 
cord. Do not place heavy objects on the 
power cord. Damaging the power cord may 
result in a fi re or electrical shock.

•  Do not plug in or unplug the power plug with 

wet hands, as this may result in an electrical 
shock.

•  Do not use extension cords or multi-plug 

power strips with the machine. Doing so may 
result in a fi re or electrical shock.

•  Do not wrap the power cord or tie it in a knot, 

as this may result in a fi re or electrical shock.

•  Insert the power plug completely into the AC 

power outlet. Failure to do so may result in a 
fi re or electrical shock.

•  Remove the power plug completely from the 

AC power outlet during a thunder storm. 
Failure to do so may result in a fi re, electrical 
shock, or damage to the machine.

•  Make sure that the power supply for the 

machine is safe, and has a steady voltage.

•  Keep the power cord away from a heat source; 

failure to do this may cause the power cord 
coating to melt, resulting in a fi re or electrical 
shock.

Avoid the following situations:

If excessive stress is applied to the connection 
part of the power cord, it may damage the power 
cord or the wires inside the machine may 
disconnect. This could result in a fi re. 

•  Connecting and disconnecting the power 

cord frequently.

•  Tripping over the power cord.
•  The power cord is bent near the connection 

part, and continuous stress is being applied to 
the power outlet or the connection part.

•  Applying excessive force on the power plug.

CAUTION

Install this machine near the power outlet and 
leave suffi

  cient space around the power plug so 

that it can be unplugged easily in an emergency.

•  A location exposed to vibrations

IMPORTANT

Do not install in the following locations

Doing so may result in damage to the machine.

•  A location subject to temperature and 

humidity extremes, whether low or high

•  A location subject to dramatic changes in 

temperature or humidity

•  A location near equipment that generates 

magnetic or electromagnetic waves

•  A laboratory or location where chemical 

reactions occur

•  A location exposed to corrosive or toxic gases
•  A location that may warp from the weight of 

the machine or where the machine is liable to 
sink (a carpet, etc.)

Avoid poorly ventilated locations

This machine generates a slight amount of ozone 
and other emissions during normal use. These 
emissions are not harmful to health. However, 
they may be noticeable during extended use or 
long production runs in poorly ventilated rooms. 
To maintain a comfortable working environment, 
it is recommended that the room where the 
machine operates be appropriately ventilated. 
Also avoid locations where people would be 
exposed to emissions from the machine. 

Do not install in a location where condensation 
occurs

Water droplets (condensation) may form inside 
the machine when the room where the machine 
is installed is heated rapidly, and when the 
machine is moved from a cool or dry location to a 
hot or humid location. Using the machine under 
these conditions may result in paper jams, poor 
print quality, or damage to the machine. Let the 
machine adjust to the ambient temperature and 
humidity for at least 2 hours before use.

Avoid installing the machine near computers or 
other precision electronic equipment. 

Electrical interference and vibrations generated 
by the machine while printing can adversely 
aff ect the operation of such equipment.

Avoid installing the machine near televisions, 
radios, or similar electronic equipment. 

The machine might interfere with sound and 
picture signal reception.
Insert the power plug into a dedicated power 
outlet, and maintain as much space as possible 
between the machine and other electronic 
equipment.

Avoid installing the machine on a sheet or the 
like made of material with low thermal 
resistance.

The machine has a built-in cassette heater, and 
the bottom of the main unit gets heated when 
the machine is powered on. Therefore, when you 
install the machine on a desk top without 
attaching any optional cassette, avoid, as much as 
possible, using a sheet or mat with poor thermal 
resistance such as a vinyl desk mat, between the 
machine and the desk top.

In altitudes of above sea level 3,000 m or higher

Machines with storage devices such as hard disks 
may not operate properly when used at high 
altitudes (3,000 meters above sea level or higher).

When using wireless LAN

•  Install the machine at a distance of 50 meters 

or less from the wireless LAN router.

•  As far as possible, install in a location where 

communication is not blocked by intervening 
objects. The signal may be degraded when 
passing through walls or fl oors.

•  Keep the machine as far as possible from 

digital cordless phones, microwave ovens, or 
other equipment that emits radio waves.
