Installation Location
The performance of this scanner is affected by the environment in which it is installed. Make sure that the location where the scanner is installed meets the following environmental requirements.

- Provide adequate space around the scanner for operation, maintenance, and ventilation.
 
- When scanning documents using the straight path, provide adequate space in back of the scanner for scanned document output.
- Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the scanner.
- Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates as dust may adversely affect the inside of the scanner.
- Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the vicinity of a water faucet, water heater, or humidifier. Avoid locations where ammonia gas is emitted. Avoid locations near volatile or flammable materials, such as alcohol or paint thinner.
- Avoid locations that are subject to vibration.
- Avoid exposing the scanner to rapid changes in temperature. If the room in which the scanner is installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the scanner. This may result in a noticeable degradation in scanning quality. The following conditions are recommended for optimal scanning quality:
  Room temperature: 10 C to 32.5 C (50 F to 90.5 F)
  Humidity: 20% to 80% RH
- Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that generates a magnetic field (e.g. speakers, televisions, or radios.)
