CHAPTER III INSTALLATION 1. CONDITIONS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION Any Laser beam printer is likely to be influenced by the environment of the set-up location. If the printer is set-up in an inappropriate location, the printer may not perform as expected. Therefore, the following factors should be taken into consideration before deciding where to set-up the printer. 1.1. Environmental Conditions The printer should not be set up in the locations referred to in the following items (a) through (d) which specify inappropriate locations for set-up. (a) Where it is likely to receive direct sunlight or similar light. (For example, next to a window) (b) Where it is likely to suffer a big difference in temperature and humidity between the maximum and minimum levels. (Normal operation environment is within 10 C 35 C, 20 80%RH and without any condensation.) (c) Where it is likely to be in a draft of cold air from an air-conditioner or warm air from a heater, or to receive direct radiant heat. (d) Where it is likely to be excessively dusty or be subject to corrosive gases such as ammonia. (e) Users should select a location with good ventilation and set the printer on a flat surface. (f) Users should check that the maximum angle of the set-up location is horizontal to within 1 . 1.2.
