• KIP 7000 Digital Printer can make a print in a speed of 160mm per second.
The maximum print size is 914mm (36 inches) wide, and the minimum one is 210mm in case
of cut sheet paper, and 11 inches width in case of Roll paper.
• The print image is more stabilized than before since we adopt a minute toner for
mono-component development.
• High quality of print image is realized since we adopt a new Development System.
(Fine line got sharpened.)
• Cleaner less System
• Many user operations can be made on the Touch Screen Panel (User Interface).

NOTE
It is possible to print longer than 6 meters as an option.
You can choose either “24m” or “unlimited” as a maximum print length.
Call your service personnel if you would like to print over 6meters as the user can not
change this setting in the printer.
If you print longer than 6 meters, the image quality or the reliability of media feeding

1. 8. 2 Media not to be used
Do not use the following kinds of printing paper. Doing so may damage the printer.
Excessively curled
Folded
Creased
Torn
Punched
Part 1 Basic Functions 1-16
Pre-printed
Extremely slippery
Extremely sticky
Extremely thin and soft
OHP Film
CAUTION
Do not use the paper with staple, or do not use such conductive paper as aluminium foil and
carbon paper.
The above may result in a danger of fire.
NOTE
(1) Print image may become light if printed on a rough surface of the paper.
(2) Print image may become defective if the print paper has an excess curl.
(3) It will cause paper mis-feed, poor print image or creasing if you use a paper that does
not satisfy the specifications.
(4) Do not use a paper of which surface is very special, such as thermal paper, art paper,
aluminium foil, carbon paper and conductive paper.
(5) Vellum exposed to air over a long period tends to cause a poor printing.
We recommend you that you remove one round on the surface of the vellum from the
beginning by the Initial Cut Key on the User Interface (UI).
(6) Remove fully any adhesive from the roll that may remain due to tape placed by the media
supplier.
1. 8. 3 Maintaining the Media
Keep the paper in the custody taking care of the following matters.
1. Do not expose the paper to the direct sunlight.
2. Keep the paper away from high humidity. (It must be less than 70%)
3. Put the paper on a flat place, do not damage the media.
4. If you will keep paper which you has already been unpacked, put it into the plastic bag to
avoid humidity in the media.

NOTE
(1) KIP 7000 is equipped with the Dehumidify Heater.
Using it in high humidity environment (65% or higher) is recommended.
Refer to [2. 6 Dehumidifying the Roll Media] on page 1-37.
(2) “Void of image” and “crease of paper” will occur in case of extremely high or low
humidity.
Possible problem Necessary treatment
“Void of image”, “crease of paper” and
other problems occurs when you print
with plain paper and vellum.
1. Install the humidifier in the room, and
humidify the room air.
2. Remove the media from the machine
right after the completion of print, and
keep it in a plastic bag.
“Void of image” occurs when you print
with vellum.
If you will not make print soon, remove
the vellum from the machine and keep it
in a plastic bag.
Remove the paper from the machine after
everyday use, and keep it in a plastic bag.
