A. Delivery notes
For installation of a large size machine, be sure to check that the
door size is great enough before bringing in.
B. Installation area
The following space must be provided around the machine in order
to assure machine performances and proper operations.
If any option is installed, provide the additional space for installing
it.
Especially the space at the rear of the machine must be provided
sufficiently. If not, the machine cannot exhibit functions against E. Environmental conditions
heat and dust, causing some troubles. (1) Temperature and humidity
This machine is designed to perform properly under the specified
30cm temperature and humidity. If the temperature and humidity exceeds
the specified range, the machine may not operate properly and or
cause equipment failure.
Especially when the humidity is too high, paper absorbs humidity to
cause a paper jam or dirty copy.
30cm 45cm Do not install the machine near a heater, a cooler, or a humidifier.
C. Power source (Capacity, voltage, frequency,

safety, plug)
If the power specifications are not satisfied, the machine cannot
exhibit full performances and may cause safety trouble.
Strictly observe the following specifications.
Dew may be formed inside the machine to cause a trouble. Use

If the voltage is outside the specified range, use thicker lead wires
to reduce impedance. 10͠ 30͠ 35͠

If no forklift is available, man-power of four persons is required. The
machine is considerably heavy, and requires safety precautions for
delivery and installation.
Transit of the machine must be made in packed condition to the
installing place.
Since the hard disk drive is built in the machine, use care not to
exert vibrations or shocks to the machine when in transit.

the machine may be discolored and abnormal copies may be pro-
duced.
3. Unpacking
A. Unpacking procedure
1) Remove the PP band.
2) Remove the internal packing pads with the machine.
(4) Gases and chemicals

Do not install the machine at a place where there are gases and
chemicals. Especially be careful to avoid installation near a diazo-
type copier, which produces ammonium gas.
Copy quality may be adversely affected and a trouble may be
caused.
(5) Vibration
Avoid installation near a machine which produces vibrations.
If vibrations are applied to the copier machine, copy images may be
deflected and a trouble may be caused.
