Installation
Location conditions
By choosing an appropriate location, you preserve the longevity of the machine. Check that the selected 
location has the following characteristics:
- Choose a well ventilated location.
- Make sure not to obstruct the ventilation grids located on the left and right sides of the device. 
During the installation, make sure to place the machine thirty centimeters away from the 
surrounding objects so all the lids can be easily opened. 
- Make sure that this location does not present any ammonia nor any other organic gasses emission 
hazard.
- The ground outlet (refer to the Safety Warning notices presented in the Safety chapter) to which 
you plan to connect the machine shall be located close to this one and have an easy access.
-Make sure that the machine is not directly exposed to sun light.
- Make sure not to place the machine in an area exposed to an air flow generated by an air 
conditioning, heating or ventilation system, nor in an area subject to big temperature or humidity 
fluctuations. 
- Choose a solid and horizontal surface on which the machine will not be exposed to intense 
vibrations.
-Keep the machine away from any object that could obstruct its ventilation ports.
- Do not place the machine close to draperies or any other flammable objects.
- Choose a location where the water and other splashes of liquid are limited.
- Make sure that this location is dry, clean and dust free.
Cautions of use
Take into account the important precautions below when using the machine.
Running environment:
- Temperature: 50 °F to 89.6 °F (10 °C to 32 °C) with a maximum fluctuation of 10 °C per hour.
- Humidity: 15 to 80% of ambient humidity (without condensation), with a maximum fluctuation of 
20% per hour.
Terminal:
The section below describes the precautions to be taken when using the machine:
- Never turn the machine off or open the lids while printing.
- Never use gas or flammable liquids, or objects generating a magnetic field close to the machine.
- When you unplug the power cord, always hold the connector without pulling the cord. A damaged 
cord presents a potential fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
- Never touch the power cord with wet hands. You risk getting an electric shock.
- Always unplug the power cord before moving the machine. Otherwise, you could risk having the 
cord damaged and create a fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
- Always unplug the power cord when you plan not to use the machine for a long period of time.
- Never put objects on the power cord, never pull it and never fold it. This could cause a fire hazard 
or an electric shock hazard.
- Always make sure that the machine is not sitting on the power cord or any other electrical cables. 
Make sure also that neither cord nor cable is introduced to the machine inner mechanism. This would 
expose you to a machine malfunction risk or a fire hazard.
- Make sure that the printer is unplugged from the power outlet before connecting or disconnecting 
an interface cable to the printer (use a shielded interface cable).
- Never try to remove any fixed pane or hood. The machine contains high voltage circuits. Any contact 
with these circuits can cause an electric shock risk.

- Never try to modify the machine. This could cause a fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
- Always make sure that paper clips, staples or other small metallic items do not get inside the 
machine via the ventilation ports or other ports. Such items create fire hazards or electric shock 
hazards.
- Prevent water and any other liquid from spilling on the machine or near to it. Any contact of the 
machine with water or liquid can cause a fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
- If liquid or metallic item gets accidentally inside the machine, turn it off immediately, unplug the 
power cord and contact your retailer. Otherwise, you would face a fire hazard or an electric shock 
hazard.
- In case of heat, smoke, unusual smell or abnormal noise emissions, turn the machine off, unplug 
the power cord immediately and contact your retailer. Otherwise, you would face a fire hazard or 
an electric shock hazard.
- Avoid using the machine during a thunderstorm, this can cause an electric shock hazard due to 
lightning.
Paper for printing: if you use paper already printed by your machine or another printer, the printing 
quality may not be optimal. 
 
Make sure to place the machine in a well ventilated area. When operating, the printer 
generates a small amount of ozone. An unpleasant smell can come from the printer if it 
is used intensively in a poorly ventilated area. For a secure use, make sure you place the 
machine in well ventilated area.
