AR-C172M  UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION  5 - 1

Before installing the machine, check that the following installing
(use) conditions are satisfied. 

If the installing (use) conditions are not satisfied, the machine may
not display full performances, resulting in troubles. It may also
cause safety problems. Therefore, be sure to arrange the installing
(use) conditions before setting up the machine. 

For installation of a large size machine, be sure to check that the
door size is great enough before bringing in.

The following space must be provided around the machine in
order to assure machine performances and proper operations.

If any option is installed, provide the additional space for installing
it.

Especially the space at the rear of the machine must be provided
sufficiently. If not, the machine cannot exhibit functions against
heat and dust, causing some troubles.

If the power specifications are not satisfied, the machine cannot
exhibit full performances and may cause safety trouble. 

Strictly observe the following specifications.

Check that the following power capacity is satisfied. If not, addi-
tionally provide a power source.

100V: 15A or more

200V: 10A or more

Measure the voltage during copying to check that the voltage is in
the range of the specified voltage ±10%.

If the voltage is outside the specified range, use thicker lead wires
to reduce impedance.

(An electrical work is required.)

Use of a step-up transformer is also available. In this case, the
capacity must be great enough for the max. power consumption of
the machine.

The frequency must be within the range of the specified frequency
±2%. If power waveform is deformed, a trouble may occur.

Be sure to properly ground the machine.

Check the form of the power plug. If the shape does not match, do
not use it.

This machine is considerably heavy and becomes heavier with an
option installed.

The floor must be strong enough for assuring safety.

If not, color shift or image distortion may occur.

This machine is designed to perform properly under the specified
temperature and humidity. If the temperature and humidity
exceeds the specified range, the machine may not operate prop-
erly and or cause equipment failure.

Especially when the humidity is too high, paper absorbs humidity
to cause a paper jam or dirty copy.

(Do not install the machine near a stove, a humidifier, or an air
conditioner.)

Do not install the machine near a heater, a cooler, or a humidifier.

Dew may be formed inside the machine to cause a trouble. Use
enough care for ventilation.

No.
