Installation notes
Adjuster
Lock Release
CAUTION
Do not install the machine on an unstable or 
slanted surface. Install the machine on a surface 
that can withstand the weight of the machine.
Risk of injury due to the machine falling or toppling. 
If peripheral devices are to be installed, do not 
install on an uneven floor, slanted surface, or 
otherwise unstable surface. Danger of slippage, 
falling, and toppling. Install the product on a flat, 
stable surface that can withstand the weight of the 
product. (Weight when various peripheral devices 
are installed: approx. 95 kg (209.4 lbs.))
Risk of fire and electrical shock.
If dust enters the machine, dirty 
output and machine failure may 
result. When the machine is installed, the adjusters (4) 
must be lowered to the floor to secure the 
machine (prevent it from moving).
Rotate the adjusters in the locking direction until 
they are in firm contact with the floor.
If you find it necessary to reposition the 
machine due to rearrangement of your office 
layout or other reason, retract the adjusters from 
the floor, turn off the 
power, and then move 
the machine.
(After moving the 
machine, lower the

the machine.)
Do not install in a location with moisture or dust.
Plastic parts may 
become deformed 
and dirty output may 
result. Locations exposed to direct 
sunlight
Installing the machine next to a 
diazo copy machine may cause 
dirty output.
Locations with ammonia gas
The paper will become damp and condensation may 
form inside the machine, causing misfeeds and dirty 
output.
☞ Ambient environment (page 47)
If the location has an ultrasonic humidifier, use pure 
water for humidifiers in the humidifier. If tap water is 
used, minerals and other impurities will be emitted, 
causing impurities to collect on the inside of the 
machine and create dirty output. Locations that are excessively hot, cold, humid, 
or dry (near heaters, humidifiers, air 
conditioners, etc.)

CAUTION
Be sure to allow the required space around the 
machine for servicing and proper ventilation. (The 
machine should be no closer than the distances 
indicated below from walls. The indicated distances 
are for the case when a saddle finisher and large 
capacity paper tray are not installed.) Near a wall
Vibration may cause failure. Locations subject to vibration.
A small amount of ozone is produced within the 
printer during operation. The emission level is 
insufficient to cause any health hazard.
The present recommended long term exposure limit 
for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m
3) calculated as an 8 
hr. time-weighted average concentration.
However, since the small amount that is emitted 
may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to 
place the copier in a ventilated area.
A small amount of ozone is created inside the 
machine during printing. The amount of ozone 
created is not sufficient to be harmful; however, an 
unpleasant odor may be noticed during large copy 
runs, and thus the machine should be installed in a 
room with a ventilation fan or windows that provide 
sufficient air circulation. (The odor may occasionally 
cause headaches.)
* Install the machine so that people are not directly  exposed to exhaust from the machine. If installed 
near a window, ensure that the machine is not 
exposed to direct sunlight.
Do not install the machine in a location with 
poor ventilation. Install so that exhaust from the 
machine does not directly contact people.
CAUTION
Store a toner 
cartridge out of the rea ch of 
children.Do not throw a toner  cartridge into a fire.
Toner may fly and ca use burns.
