Do not connect the machine to an uninterruptible power source.
Use an AC power outlet exclusively for the machine. Do not use the other sockets of the AC power outlet.
Do not plug the power plug into the auxiliary outlet on a computer.
Do not connect the machine and any of the following devices to the same AC outlet:
Copy machine
Air conditioner
Shredder
Equipment that consumes a large amount of electricity
Equipment that generates electrical noise
When unplugging the power cord, keep interval of 5 seconds or more before plugging it again.
Miscellaneous precautions:
The maximum power consumption of the machine is 1,110 W or less.
Electrical noise or a dramatic drop in the main voltage may cause the machine or computer to operate incorrectly or lose data.

Installation Requirements

A location with sufficient space
A location with good ventilation
A location with a flat, even surface
A location able to fully support the weight of the machine
IMPORTANT
Do not install the machine in the following locations, as this may result in damage to the machine.
A location subject to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity
A location subject to condensation
A poorly ventilated location
(If you use the machine for a long time or to perform a large amount of printing in a poorly ventilated room, the ozone or other odors generated by the machine may create an uncomfortable working environment. In addition, chemical particles are dispersed during printing; therefore, it is important to provide adequate ventilation. Also avoid locations where people would be exposed to emissions from the machine.)
A location near equipment that generates magnetic or electromagnetic waves
A laboratory or location where chemical reactions occur
A location exposed to salt air, corrosive gases, or toxic gases
A location, such as on a carpet or mat, that may warp from the weight of the machine or where the machine is liable to sink.
