The scanner/scale housing is designed to provide adequate space for ventilation and drainage for spills. The following figure shows the drainage holes (1) under the platter for possible spills that may occur when scanning/weighing items.
Drainage/Ventilation Holes
Checkstand ventilation may be required to ensure the MP72 temperature limits are not exceeded. If forced air ventilation is used, it must not pass through the MP72 as this can produce an unstable weighing environment. The ambient air temperature inside the checkstand, adjacent to the MP72, must not exceed 40°C (104°F).
