Points to keep in mind when setting up
Do not place the machine in
direct sunlight. Do not place the machine near heaters or air conditioners.
Keep dust away from the
machine. Keep the area around the machine clear.
About condensation

that condensation may form on the scanning glass, preventing proper
scanning of documents for transmission. To remove the condensation,
turn on the power and wait approximately two hours before using the
machine.
