Installation Precautions
When installing Printer, observe the following precautions:
1) Imaging faults can result due to dew condensation that occurs when the machine is moved
from a cold place to a warm place. Leave the unpacked machine as it is for at least two
hours before installing it.
(Dew condensation: When a metallic object is brought from a low-temperature place to a
high-temperature place, water vapor around it is cooled abruptly and consequently water
drops stick to the surface of the metallic object.)
2) Printer weighs about 24 kg. At least two persons are required to install it. In addition, be
sure to keep the machine leveled when lifting it.
