SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION
Ventilation slots and holes are provided on this unit. Place the unit on a hard and level surface and locate at least 10 cm (4
inches) from walls to insure proper ventilation. When putting the unit on the system rack, take a space between the unit and the
back of the rack.
UNSUITABLE LOCATIONS
Avoid shaky places or hot-springs areas where hydrogen sulfide and acidic ions are likely to be generated.
PLACES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY AND DUST
Do not place the unit locations with high humidity and dust. They can cause extensive damage. Avoid places where unit is
likely to be exposed to oily fumes and vapours.
PLACES NOT LIKELY TO BE EXTREMELY HOT
Places exposed to direct sunlight, or near heating appliances can attain extremely high temperatures, which may deform the
cabinet, or can become a prime cause of damage.
PLACE THE UNIT ON A HORIZONTAL LEVEL
The unit is likely to be affected if it is placed in slanted conditions or in unstable places.
PROTECT AGAINST DEW FORMATION
In extremely cold regions, if the unit is moved quickly from an extremely cold place to warmer one, dew is likely to be formed.
If dew is formed, printing is not possible.
OPERATING AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE
The operating ambient temperature range is 41°F - 104°F (5°C to 40°C), and humidity of 20 - 80%. When using the unit on the
system rack, be sure to keep this ambient temperature inside the rack.
FOR LONG OPERATING LIFE
UNSUITABLE MATERIALS FOR THE COLOUR VIDEO COPY PROCESSOR
