1. 3 Features

• KIP 7900 Digital Printer can make a print in a speed of 160mm per second.
The maximum print size is 36 inches (914mm) wide, and the minimum one is 8.5 inches

(210mm) for cut sheet media, and 11 inches (294mm) for roll media.

• The print image is more stabilized than before since we adopt a minute toner for mono­component development.

• The comb ination of KIP Contact Development System and mono-component minute toner can

produce a high definition line, distinctive grayscale and consistent solid black.

The KIP HDP process generates no Waste Toner.

• Many user operations can be made on the Touch Screen Panel (User Interface).

1. 7. 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

Chapter 1 Before Use 1-11

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 aluminum 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-fed, 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,

aluminum foil, carbon paper or conductive paper.

(5) Vellum exposed to air over a long period tends to cause a defective printing.

It is recommended to remove one round on the surface of the vellum roll from the
beginning.

(6) Remove fully any adhesive from the roll that may remain due to tape placed by the media

supplier.

(7) Do not use papers with unpacked (exposed in high / low temperature & humidity) in a

long period. Such papers may result in mis-feed, defective image or paper creasing.

(8) It is recommended to trim the leading edge by using Initial Cut Key on the User Interface

(UI) before making a long print.

1. 7. 3 Maintaining 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.
