The general process of automated document handling can sometimes create a build up of static electricity. Therefore we
recommend that the following measures are taken to reduce the side effects of any electrostatic charge.
- Make sure that you operate the system within the recommended temperature andhumidity conditions.
- Make use of antistatic mats where appropriate.
- If necessary, make use of an ionizer to reduce static charge build up in the room where the system is located.
Please contact your supplier for further information.

the system will not function when the covers are open.
- Keep long hair, fingers, jewelry, etc. away from rotating and moving parts.
- The power connection must be easily accessible, preferably close to the system.For safety reasons, it is
essential that the system is connected to a socket outlet that has a protective earth (ground) connection.
- Overcurrent protection in the equipment also relies on the branch circuit protection (max. 20 A).
- The following part(s) is (are) considered the equipment disconnect device(s):
- Power supply cord plug or appliance coupler.
In Denmark, certain types of Class 1 appliances may be provided with a plug that does not provide an adequate earth
