jam, resulting in a shortened lifetime.

the machine may be discolored and abnormal copies may be pro-
duced.

chemicals. Especially be careful to avoid installation near a diazo-
type copier, which produces ammonium gas.

caused.

be deflected and a trouble may be caused.

safety.

If no forklift is available, man-power of four persons is required.

tions for delivery and installation.
