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.

2. 4 Replacing Toner Cartridge

WARNING

There is combustible powder in the toner cartridge.
Do not burn up the used toner cartridge.

Reference

When the toner is empty, the UI Screen will display Toner Empty sign.
Follow the later procedure (or as noted in the UI’s User Guide) to
replace the Toner Cartridge with a new one (genuine).

1. Open the Manual Table.

2. Pull out the Upper Frame Unit to your side (front) with holding both handles.

NOTE

(1) The KIP 7900 Toner Cartridge is embedded with the IC Tag for an exclusive use on KIP

7900. Even if a Toner Cartridge for other models is installed, the KIP 7900 does not
operate with indicating Toner Empty sign or “Toner Cartridge not set correctly”.

(2) Once the Toner Cartridge becomes empty with the toner, the KIP 7900 recognizes its IC

Tag information. The same Toner Cartridge can no more be installed onto the KIP 7900
after that. The KIP 7900 does not operate with indicating Toner Empty sign or “Toner
Cartridge not set correctly” if once emptied Toner Cartridge is installed.

(3) The KIP 7900 will indicate Toner Empty sign if an incorrect toner cartridge or no toner

cartridge is installed to the printer.

(4) At the machine’s installation, some amount of initial toner powders will be supplied to the

machine. Thus Toner Empty sign might appear slightly earlier for the first installed toner
cartridge than usual.

3. Push the Joint rightward to release the Toner Cartridge.

(The joint will be latched on the right.)

NOTE

Slide the Joint until it clicks to unlock the toner cartridge.
Not doing so may damage the toner supply system.

4. Pressing down the green lever, rotate Toner Cartridge body (not the Cap of Cartridge) to the

arrow direction until it stops. This will close the toner supply opening on Toner Cartridge.

5. Keep pressing the green lever. Lift up Toner

Cartridge and remove it.

NOTE

If your hand or your clothing is soiled by toner, dust the toner.
If it is unable to dust it, wash the clothing with the cold water.
(Do not use the hot water at this time because the toner will soak into fiber.)

2. 5 Placing Cut Sheet Media

1. Open Manual Table.

2. There are several size markings on Manual Table which indicate possible feed positions.

Manual Table

Place a cut sheet in a required size on the table between its concerning size markings then
insert it into Manual Feeder.

When the leading edge touches the feeding roller, the machine automatically carries and sets
the sheet at the proper position.

Size Markings

Manual Table

NOTE

As a curly cut sheet will cause a mis-feed, straighten the sheet as far as possible before
printing. And set the sheet in “curl down” direction as a mis-feed can be avoided. “Curl up”
sheets tend to result in a mis-feed.

Correct (curl down) Wrong (curl up)

2. 6 Canceling Sleep Mode

The KIP 7900 has two Sleep Modes to reduce the power consumption.
The KIP 7900 will enter Sleep Mode after a certain period of inactivity.

In the default setting;

• Warm Sleep Mode will start after a 15 minute of inactivity in order to reduce the power
supply for Fuser Unit.

• Cold Sleep Mode will start after a 60 minute of inactivity to stop the power supply for Fuser
Unit and some other components.

Sleep Mode is canceled and the machine gets ready when;

• the machine receives a print job through the network.

• an original is inserted into a KIP Scanner (option).

• you tap on the UI screen.

NOTE

(1) It may take time for the printer to get ready.
(2) Tapping on the UI screen can cancel the screensaver but cannot recover temperature on

Fuser Unit. It may need another waiting time to start warming up for printing.

Chapter 2 Basic Operations 2-18

2. 7 Dehumidifying Roll Media

If the roll paper is extremely humid, it may cause poor prints.
You will experience most likely “creasing” and “voids”.

NOTE

Re-appearance of image (especially solid black image) may occur if you print with a
humidified film.

When film is installed under the high humidity environment (higher than 60%RH), we also
recommend that you turn on the Dehumidify Heater.

Turn on the Dehumidify Heater if the room air has too much humidity (65% or higher) to prevent
the above kinds of print defect.
You may be able to fix the above kinds of problem.

Chapter 2 Basic Operations 2-19

NOTE

(1) There are several dehumidifying settings which can be set by service personnel.

When these settings are determined, the dehumidifier functions.
With any setting, the printer must be plugged in and the switch noted above must be in
the “H” position.

Call your service personnel if you would like to change the switch setting.
Note that the user can not change the setting.

(2) To achieve the best image quality, we recommend that you use media that is unpacked

from the manufacture right before installing it into the printer.
If media is unpacked long before installation, poor image quality may occur.

“Dehumidify Heater Switch” is located on the left-rear side of the machine.
Press “H” to turn on the Dehumidify Heater.

Press “H” side.

(1) Do not leave ejected prints with been displaced.

Doing so may prevent the subsequent prints from being stacked correctly until you
remove all the prints stacked on Print Tray. Or this may cause a paper jam.

NG: all stacked prints displaced NG: part of stacked prints displaced

(2) Do not place any object except for the ejected prints from the printer on the tray.

Please contact your local dealer for other outer devices (Scanner, Auto Stacker, Folder, etc).
See the device’s documents if you use one. That might include additional information for
usage / notice of the printer.
