For Installation & Relocation
Do not place the machine in a hot, humid, dusty, or poorly ventilated environment.
Prolonged exposure to these adverse conditions can cause fire or electric shocks.
Do not place the machine near heaters or volatile, flammable, or combustible
materials such as curtains that may catch fire.
Place the machine on a level and sturdy surface that can withstand the machine
weight. If tilted, the machine may fall over and cause injuries.

xv
When lifting the machine, face the front panel and firmly grip the recessed areas
provided on both sides of the machine. Never try to lift the machine by gripping any
other areas. Lifting the machine by gripping any other areas can cause the machine
to fall and result in injuries.
When lifting the machine, get a firm footing and bend your knees to avoid possible
injuries to your back.
The machine has ventilation holes on the left, right, and rear sides. Ensure that the
machine is installed with a minimum clearance of 150 mm from the right side, 100
mm from the left side, and 200 mm from the rear side. A poorly ventilated machine
can cause excessive internal heat and fire. The accompanying diagram shows the
minimum clearances required for normal operation, consumables replacement, and
maintenance to ensure your machine operates at peak performance.
When moving the machine, be sure to unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the
machine is moved with the power cord connected, it can cause damage to the cord
which could result in fire or electric shocks.
Recess
If you hold the printer by the front
door, left or right sides, there is a
danger of the printer falling.

xvi
When moving the machine, do not tilt it more than an angle specified in the figure
below. If tilted excessively, the machine may fall over and cause injuries.
When the optional 2 tray module is installed, be sure to lock the caster stoppers. An
unlocked machine may fall over or slide and cause injuries.
●The machine is capable of operating normally within the following recommended
environmental limits.
Temperature range 10–32°C
Humidity range 15–85 % (no condensation)
Humidity should be 65 % or below at 32°C, and temperature should be 28°C or
below at 85 % humidity.
Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect copy quality. Rapid heating of a cold room can cause
condensation inside the machine, directly interfering with image transfer.
●Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight. Exposure to direct sunlight can
adversely affect the machine's performance.
●When moving the printer, remove the toner cartridges. Do not reuse toner
cartridges once you have removed them from the printer. Loose toner can spill
inside the printer and impair print quality.
●Do not place the printer immediately next to an air conditioner or heater. Doing so
will affect the printer's internal temperature, possibly resulting in damage.

xvii
For Power & Earth Connection
Three power specifications are listed below. The specifications that apply to your
machine depend on your machine configuration. Connect the power plug only to a
properly rated power outlet. Otherwise, it can cause fire or electric shocks. If in
doubt, contact your Fuji Xerox or dealers.
•Rated voltage 100 V
Rated frequency 50/60 Hz
•Rated voltage 110 V
Rated frequency 60 Hz
•Rated voltage 220-240 V
Rated frequency 50/60 Hz
Never use multi-plug adaptors to plug multiple power plugs in the same outlet. Be
sure to operate the machine on a sole-use receptacle. Multiple connectors can
cause the outlet to overheat and cause fire.
Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a
contaminated connector can draw a non-negligible amount of current that can
generate heat and eventually cause fire over an extended period of time.
Always use the power cord provided with your machine. When an extension power
cord is required, always use a properly rated cord.
•In Japan: 125 V/15 A
•In other countries: Contact your Fuji Xerox or dealers.
If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the machine or plug may emit
smoke or become hot to the touch externally.
Do not attempt to rework, pull, bend, chafe, or otherwise damage the power cord.
Do not place a heavy object on the cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electric
shocks.
Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
Stop operation immediately if your machine produces smoke, excessive heat,
unusual noise, or smell, or if water is spilt onto the machine. These conditions can
cause fire. Immediately switch off and unplug the machine, and contact your Fuji
Xerox or dealers.

xviii
To prevent fire or electric shocks, follow the instruction below based on your
machine configuration. If in doubt, contact your Fuji Xerox or dealers.
•If your machine is a 220–240 V model, there is no need to attach a separate earth
line since the earth connection is incorporated in the power line. Plug it into a
properly rated outlet.
If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, ask your Fuji Xerox or
dealers for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.
Do not unplug or replug the machine while it is on. Unplugging a live connector can
deform the plug and cause fire.
When unplugging the machine, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Forcibly pulling on a
cord can damage it and cause fire or electric shocks.
Be sure to switch off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the
machine for cleaning, maintenance, or fault clearance. Access to a live machine's
interior can cause electric shocks.
Once a month, unplug the machine and check the power cord for the following:
•The power cord is plugged firmly into a receptacle.
•The plug is not excessively heated, rusted, or bent.
•The plug and receptacle are free of dust.
•The cord is not cracked or frayed.
If you notice any unusual conditions, contact your Fuji Xerox or dealers.
When the machine is not used over an extended period of time, switch it off and
unplug it. If an unused machine is left connected to a power source for a long
period, degraded insulation can cause electric shocks, current leakages, or fire.
Switch off the machine before connecting the interface cable or any optional
product. Connecting the cable or optional product with a live machine can cause
electric shocks.
