Notes on Safety (Please Read and Observe)

Safety Precautions

Various symbols and pictures are used in this manual and on the stickers affixed to the machine. These symbols and pictures provide warnings and instructions to prevent danger to you or other personnel, and to prevent damage to office property. The meanings of these symbols and pictures are explained below.

WARNING

Indicates a high degree of potential danger. If the warning is ignored, death or serious injury may result.

CAUTION

Indicates a medium degree of potential danger. If the caution is ignored, medium injury or damage to property may result.

[Examples of Pictorial Symbols]

A circle with a line through it indicates a prohibited action. The particular act prohib-

ited is indicated by a picture inside the circle. (In the example shown here, the prohibited act is disassembly.)

A black disc indicates an instruction, or sometimes a prohibited action. T he instruction

itself is indicated by pictorial symbols drawn in white on the disc. (In the example shown here, the instruction is “Remove the plug from the outlet.”)

• These are particularly important safety points and should always be observed.

W ARNING

If the machine is used after foreign matter (metal fragments, water, or liquid) has entered the machine, this may result in fire or electric shock.

• Turn the main unit’s power switch OFF, and then remove the power plug from the outlet. Contact the sales distributor.

If the machine is used after heat, smoke, strange smell, or other abnormality is detected, this may result in fire or electric shock.

• Turn the main unit’s power switch OFF, and then remove the power plug from the outlet. Contact the sales distributor.

Use only the power cord that is provided among the accessories.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Notes on Safety (Please Read and Observe)

WARNING

Do not modify the machine.

• Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

Do not remove the rear lid, cabinet, or covers from the machine.

• The inside of the machine contains high-voltage parts, which may cause electric shock.

Do not remove or insert the power plug with wet hands.

• Doing so may result in electric shock.

Do not damage, break, or modify the power cord.

• Do not place heavy objects on, tug, or unnecessarily bend the power cord. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

Do not insert or drop metal, flammable material, or other matter through the ventilation holes into the machine interior.

• Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

Do not place flower vases, flowerpots, cups, or water containers (including metal containers) on top of the machine.

• Fire or electric shock may result if liquid spills inside the machine.

Do not use a source voltage other than that specified. Do not connect two or more loads to a single outlet.

• Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

Do not place the machine in a humid or dusty area.

• Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Notes on Safety (Please Read and Observe)

CAUTION

Before moving the machine, remove the power plug from the outlet.

• If the cord is damaged, this may result in fire or electric shock.

Remove the power plug itself, not the cord.

• Tugging the cord may damage it (expose conductors, or cause disconnections, etc.), resulting in fire or electric shock.

Do not place the machine in an unstable position, such as on an unsteady support or sloping area.

• If the machine is dropped or falls over, this could result in personal injury.

Once the machine is in position, secure in place using the casters.

• If the machine falls over, this could result in personal injury.

Before Using This Machine

How Platemaking and Printing is Performed

The machine performs two processes: platemaking and printing.

Platemaking

In the “platemaking” process, the old master on the drum is removed while the thermal head creates the scanned image on the new master and transfers it onto the drum.

Printing

In the “printing” process, paper separated from the stack by the feeder roller and paper separator unit is pressed against the drum unit by the press roller. There are small holes over only the image area of the master that is attached to the drum, and ink that seeps from these holes is transferred to the paper. The paper is then peeled from the master by the paper stripper finger. The paper is directed onto the paper ejection belt by a fan unit and discharged from the machine.

Document Guide

Loading Document in ADF

Available only when ADF installed

Load documents that consist of a series of sheets to be printed in the ADF. When one or more documents are loaded in the ADF, platemaking and printing are automatically repeated until the document tray is empty.

IMPORTANT

• ADF mode is automatically selected when a document is loaded in the ADF. The ADF then

takes priority over the document glass plate in the platemaking process.
