Measure before delivery
Office copiers are bigger and heavier than desktop printers. The Sindoh D5000 Series main unit measures about 592 × 660 mm and weighs about 82 kg; the D7500 Series weighs about 90 kg. Finishers and extra paper trays add width and height. Check that lifts, doorways and corridors are wide enough on delivery day.
Leave room to work
Staff need to open the front doors, pull out paper trays, clear jams and lift the feeder. Allow clear space in front and to the sides, and some space behind for airflow and cables. The installation guide for the model gives the exact clearances.
Power and network
- Use a wall socket, not a shared extension board with other heavy equipment.
- Avoid sockets on the same circuit as microwaves, kettles or heaters.
- Place it near a network point, or where Wi-Fi is strong. The D7500 and D5000 Series support Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi.
Environment
- Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from air-conditioner drips, windows and sinks.
- Store paper in its wrapper in a dry place. Damp paper curls and jams, especially in humid weather. See fixing paper jams.
- Don’t box the machine into a tight cabinet; it needs airflow.
Convenience and privacy
Central is best: a short walk for most staff, but not beside desks where the noise disturbs people. If HR or finance print confidential papers, keep the copier out of view of visitors, or use card authentication so jobs print only when the owner is standing there. Read about secure printing.
