3. Note for installing site
Do not install the machine at the following sites.
1) Place of high temperature, high humidity, low temperature, low
humidity, place under an extreme change in temperature and
humidity.
Paper may get damp and form dews inside the machine, causing
paper jam or copy dirt.
For operating and storing conditions, refer to the specifications
described later.
2) Place of much vibrations
It may cause a breakdown.
3) Poorly ventilated place
An electro-static type copier will produce ozone inside it.
The quantity of ozone produced is designed to a low level so as
not to affect human bodies. However, continuous use of such a
machine may produce a smell of ozone. Install the machine in a
well ventilated place, and ventilate occasionally.
4) Place of direct sunlight.
Plastic parts and ink may be deformed, discolored, or may undergo
qualitative change.

The organic photoconductor (OPC) drum used in the machine may
undergo qualitative change due to organic gases such as ammo-
nium.
Installation of this machine near a diazo-type copier may result in
dirt copy.
6) Place of much dust
When dusts enter the machine, it may cause a breakdown or copy
dirt.
7) Place near a wall
Some machine require intake and exhaust of air.
If intake and exhaust of air are not properly performed, copy dirt or
