Power supply : 100 to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz
• When you power other appliances from the same AC outlet, make sure that the combined power
consumption does not exceed the power supply capacity.
Rated current (Rated power) : 1.8 to 0.7 A (175 W)
SIDE AIR KIT disconnected : 1.3 to 0.6 A (130 W)
Use only the power supply voltage specied on the main nameplate.
Using other voltages could result in a re or an electrical shock.
Make sure that the combined power consumption of the appliances to be
connected does not exceed the capacity rating of the power outlets or plug
receptacles.
Exceeding the capacity rating could cause the power outlets, plug receptacles, or power extension cords to
overheat and catch a re.
i
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 50°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
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.

6-1. 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.

6-2. Precautions on stacking paper
• Stack paper striking the leading edge of paper
lightly at the shutter.
If there is some clearance between the
leading edge of paper and shutter, the
paper detecting sensor does not function
properly.
• 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.
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 mis-feed and
double-feed.

2. Stacking the Paper
2-1. Before stacking paper
Checking the front/back,top/end of paper
Check the “front/back” and “top/end” of paper when stacking paper on the paper feed tray.
Check for folding misalignment, and check “front/back” and “top/end” of paper when checking the nished
fold after test folding.
When paper is stacked with the gray surface on the obverse side and white surface on the reverse side on
the paper feed tray, and processing is completed in the standard folding mode, the folded paper is as shown
in the gure.

Loosen the guide xing screw.
Stack paper on the paper feed tray.
2
Push in the paper until the lead edge touches
the shutter below the paper feed inlet slightly.

Do not put ngers inside during operation.
Keep away long hair, ties, jewelry and loose clothing.

the paper size.
Set the paper feed guide in such a way that it
touches the paper lightly.
• Do not press the paper with the paper
feed guides too strongly. Otherwise,
paper feed errors such as mis-feed will
occur.
• If the guides are positioned incorrectly,
the automatic paper size detection
function will not work, and the test key
and start key,etc. will not operate.
Tighten the guide xing screws.

Chapter 2 Basic Operation
(p.2-5)
Make sure to tighten the guide xing screws on both right and left sides. If the screws are not
xed, the paper feed guide moves during operation, and folding misalignment may occur in the
right and left direction.
Set the trail edge guide unit to the rear
5
end of paper.
Set the trail edge guide unit so that it will be in
contact with the paper lightly.
The trail edge guide unit must be set
in place without fail. When starting the
machine without setting the back edge
stack guide, the paper will be blown by
separating air.
