Handling the Ink Cartridge
Pay attention to the following when handling the ink cartridge.
CAUTION
• Avoid getting ink on your skin or in your eyes.
• Ensure adequate ventilation during printing.
• If you start to feel ill when using the machine, consult a physician immediately.
• We recommend using genuine RISO ink.
• Using ink other than RISO ink may prevent optimal printer performance. Malfunctions and reduced
performance resulting from the use of non-RISO ink are not covered by the product warranty or
service contract.
• Do not remove the ink cartridge until the ink replacement message is displayed.
• Do not shake the ink cartridge. Shaking will create air bubbles, which may prevent the ink from
discharging properly and result in blurred printing.
• The ink cartridge is made from paper and plastic. Do not drop or damage it.
• Remove the ink cartridge from its plastic bag immediately before inserting it into the machine.
• Do not remove the ink cartridge cap until immediately before using the cartridge.
• After removing the ink cartridge cap, keep the ink supply outlet facing up. If the outlet faces down, ink
may leak out.
• There may be ink on the area where you removed the protective cap. Do not touch it.
Ink coming in contact with clothes will result in permanent stains.
• Do not attempt to rell the ink cartridge.
• Use the ink cartridge within 24 months from the date of manufacture (when preserved under room
temperature). To maintain good printing quality, check the manufacture date and use soon after
purchase. You can nd the date of manufacture on the ink cartridge.
For additional precautions related to the ink cartridges, also see the "User's Guide".

Loading Orientation of Originals and Paper
When you are copying on letterhead paper, envelopes, or other paper with a pre-printed logo, the orientation
of the original and paper is important.
The orientation of the original and paper is described below, using an example of copying a single-sided
original.
● Example of Loading Envelopes
On the touch panel, set [Original Orientation] to [Top Side Left].
Original orientation
Load originals so that the bottom
edge is scanned rst.

RISO Console
Originals That May Not Be Copied
The RISO Console provides remote access to the
machine via your computer's web browser,
enabling you to check the machine's status and
settings, as well as handle data, from a different
location.
To use the RISO Console, make sure the machine
has been connected to the network.
Storing Consumables
● Paper Storage and Handling
• Always use paper from a sealed package.
• After you nish printing, remove the unused
paper from the standard tray, place it back in the
original package, and store it until you need it
again. If you leave the paper in the standard tray,
the paper may curl, causing a paper jam.
• If the paper is not cut very well or if the paper
has a textured surface (such as drawing paper),
fan the paper before use.
• Store the paper at in a location that is not hot,
humid, or exposed to direct sunlight.
● Do not use the equipment in any manner
that violates the law or infringes on
established copyrights, even when
making copies for personal use. Consult
your dealer or authorized service
representative for further details. In
general, use discretion and common
sense.
● Do not use the machine to make copies
of the following items.
• Copies of business-related documents, such as
publicly issued stock certicates, drafts, and
checks, other than copies required for business
use
• Copies of government-issued passports; motor
vehicle licenses, permits, and personal
identication documents issued by public or
private organizations; and pass tickets, food
tickets, and other tickets
• Copies of copyrighted items, such as
publications, music, works of art, prints,
drawings, and photographs, other than for
personal or household use
28
● Storing Ink Cartridges
Because the ink cartridges are partially made of
paper, they may become deformed and unusable if
stored incorrectly or in an unsuitable environment.
Store the ink cartridges correctly following the
guidelines below.
• Store the ink cartridges in their original package,
and make sure to keep them level with the "this
side up" mark oriented properly.
• Avoid freezing and direct sunlight. Store in a
location with a temperature between 5°C and
35°C (41°F and 95°F). Do not store in a location
subject to extreme changes in temperature.
• When storing ink after removing it from the
plastic bag, keep it in the orientation indicated on
the cartridge and load it in the machine promptly.
