Safety Precautions
Operating environment
Operate this unit in the following environment.
• where the temperature range is between 5 and 35°C/41 and 95°F (-10 to +35°C/14 to 122°F in storage)
• where the humidity range is between 20 and 80% RH (10 to 90% RH in storage, however no condensation)
• which is not subject to direct sunlight
• which is reasonably free from dust
• which is subject to little or no vibration
• which is free from air-borne salt
• where there are no harmful chemicals
• where the unit is not exposed to water
Keep this unit and the power cord away from heaters and heater vents.
Excessive heat could melt the cover or power cord covering, and result in a re or an electrical shock.
Do not place metal objects or vessels containing liquids on top of the unit.
The entry of any metal object or liquid could result in a re or an electrical shock.
Do not insert any metal or easily-combustible object inside this unit.
This could result in a re or an electrical shock.
Do not use ammable sprays inside or near the unit (e.g. when cleaning the
unit).
Such ammable gas may ignite and cause a re or combustion.
Do not install this unit in a location where there is excessive humidity or
where contact with water is possible.
Poor choice of location could result in deterioration of the insulation, a re or an electrical shock.
Install this unit on a level, stable stand or oor, with sucient space around it.
Failure to do so could result in the unit overturning and causing injury.
Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before attempting to move
this unit.
Failure to do so could result in power cord damage, a re or an electrical shock.
Always disconnect the power plug from the power outlet when the unit is not
to be used for an extended period.
Failure to do so could result in a re due to leakage current if the insulation should deteriorate.
ii
Maintenance / others
Safety Precautions
Do not damage the power cord or power plug.
Do not scratch, alter, bend, twist, pull or place heavy objects on the power cord or power plug.
This could result in damage, a re or an electrical shock.
Do not touch the power switch with wet hands.
Otherwise electric hazards may occur.
Do not remove the cover or back panel.
This unit contains high-voltage components that could cause an electrical shock.
Do not disassemble, modify or repair this unit.
There is a danger of re, electrical shock or injury.
Contact your dealer when repairs are necessary.
If any foreign object such as metal or liquid should enter this unit,
immediately turn the unit o at the power switch and disconnect the power
plug from the power outlet.
Failure to do so could result in a re or an electrical shock.
Contact your dealer immediately.
Before cleaning this unit, turn the unit o at the power switch and disconnect
the power plug from the power outlet.
Accidental operation of the unit during cleaning could result in injury.
If the unit emits smoke, unusual heat or unusual odors, immediately turn the

of the plug from which the prongs extend.
Accumulated dust could result in a re.
Always grip the plug when disconnecting the power plug from the power
outlet.
Forcibly pulling on the power cord could cause damage, resulting in a re or an electrical shock.
Do not touch or insert foreign objects into any rotating part during operation.
This could result in injury.

Chapter 1 Before Operation
7. Handling Paper
7-1. Paper used
• Make sure that the printing ink on the paper has dried completely prior to use.
• Wet ink or ink that is not completely dried may stain the folding roller causing trouble such
as smearing on paper.
• Use of paper printed with special types of ink may cause the folding roller to swell or deform,
and folding misalignment may occur.
• Paper may not be fed smoothly into the
folding plate or deformed folding may occur
depending on dierent environmental factors
(temperature, humidity), paper ream weight,
paper type, paper grain direction if curled
paper is used. Make sure to atten curled
paper or paper with folded lines before use.
• Separate the sheets of paper well before
stacking them.
7-2. Precautions on stacking paper
• Do not stack the sheets of paper on the paper
feed tray with the sides of sheets unaligned or
some sheets protruding from the stack.
• This machine has an automatic standard
paper size detection function. It automatically
detects paper size at the paper feed guides.
Therefore, if paper is protruding out from the
left or right side, it is unable to detect paper
size accurately and may determine standard
paper as non-standard. (DF-980)
Processing with sheets unaligned on the
right or left side may cause such trouble as
folding misalignment and jamming.
• Do not stack paper on the paper feed tray with
the lead and trail edges unaligned or some
sheets protruding out.
Processing with sheets unaligned on the
lead and trail edges may lead to unstable
feed causing such trouble as miss-feed and
double-feed.
