Precautions for Use Operating Environment The operating environmental requirements of the copier are as follows. Temperature Humidity : 10 °C to 30°C(50°F to 86°F) with a fluctuation of 10 °C(50°F) per hour : 15% to 85% with a fluctuation of 20% per hour. Chapter 1 Using the Copier Properly To ensure the optimum performance of the copier, follow the precautions listed below. u u u u u u NEVER place a heavy object on the copier or subject the copier to shocks. NEVER open any doors, or turn OFF the copier while the copier is making copies. NEVER bring any magnetized object or use flammable sprays near the copier. ALWAYS insert the power plug all the way into the outlet. ALWAYS make sure that the outlet is visible, clear of the copier or copier cabinet. ALWAYS provide good ventilation when making a large number of continuous copies. NOTE = Locate the Copier in a Well Ventilated Room = A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of this copier. An unpleasant odor may, however, be created in poorly ventilated rooms during extensive copier operations. For a comfortable, healthy, and safe operating environment, it is recommended that the room be well ventilated. REMARQUE = Placer le copieur dans une pièce largement ventilée = Une quantité d'ozone négligable est dégagée pendant le fonctionnement du copieur quand celui-ci est utilisé normalement. Cependant, une odeur désagréable peut être ressentie dans les pièces dont l'aération est insuffisante et lorsque une utilisation prolongée du copieur est effectuée. Pour avoir la certitude de travailler dans un environnement réunissant des conditions de confort, santé et de sécurité, il est préférable de bien aérer la pièce ou se trouve le copieur. Moving the Copier If you need to transport the copier over a long distance, consult your Technical Representative. Care of Copier Supplies Use the following precautions when handling the copier supplies (toner, paper, etc.). u u u u Store the paper, toner, and other supplies in a place free from direct sunlight and away from any heating apparatus. Keep them in a dry, cool, clean environment. Store paper, which has been removed from its wrapper but not loaded into the drawer, in a sealed plastic bag in a cool, dark place. Keep supplies out of the reach of children. If your hands become soiled with toner, wash them with soap and water immediately. Safety Notes 4 2.
