Reference

Even if the KIP9000 is printing, it is possible to open the drawer and replace/install the roll media without interrupting the print operation. However, it is not necessarily allowed to open any drawer at any time. A certain drawer can not be opened in the following situations.

1. When the roll media is fed from a certain drawer, this drawer can not be opened.

2. When the media (including cut sheet media) fed from other drawer is passing through the media path in a certain drawer, this drawer can not be opened.

See the following section diagram. Media feeding paths from each Roll Deck is integrated into one path in the middle drawer. When the KIP 9000 is printing with the roll media fed from the Roll Deck 1 for example, only the bottom drawer can be opened. (“in use” Indicators for top and middle drawers will light orange in this case.)

Top Drawer is not allowed to open.

Multiple cut sheet feeding (50 sheets max) is available when the size is narrower than A2 (594mm) or 24”. The followings are the sizes that can be fed by multi-feeding. (Orientation must be landscape)

Metric : 297mm x 210mm (A4) Inch : 11” x 8.5” 18” x 12” 420mm x 297mm (A3) 12” x 9” 22” x 17” 594mm x 420mm (A2) 17” x 11” 24” x 18”

NOTE

(1) Do not attempt to make multi-feeding with other sizes of media as it will result in mis-feed or duplicate feeding. The internal mechanism of KIP9000 may be broken in the worst case.

(2) Do not leave the cut sheet media on the Bypass Feeder for a long time as it will get moisture. Such media will result in mis-feed or defective image. (Keep the media in a plastic bag to block the moisture.)

1. Select the bypass feeding mode on the outer device.

2. Slide the Cut Sheet Guides and place at the requested size guides.

3. Arrange the edges of media, put the media on the Bypass Feeder, and move them forward until the leading edges contact the feeding roller.

2. 5 Replacing the Toner Cartridge

The Toner Empty Indicator on the Operation Panel flashes when the toner is “near empty”, and it lights when the toner is completely empty. Replace the Toner Cartridge when it lights.

Toner Empty Indicator

WIRE CLEAN EXP-CLEAN

Reference

(1) Even if the KIP 9000 is on printing, it is possible to replace the Toner Cartridge without interrupting printing.

(2) It is still possible to make some more printing when the Toner Empty Indicator is flashing, but the toner will be soon emptied completely and the KIP9000 will no more be able to continue printing. For avoiding machine down, prepare a new Toner Cartridge before the Toner Empty Indicator starts flashing.

NOTE

(1) The KIP9000 Toner Cartridge is embedded with the IC Tag for an exclusive use on KIP9000. Even if the Toner Cartridge for other models is installed, the KIP9000 does not operate with indicating an error code “C-01”.

(2) Once the Toner Cartridge become empty with the toner, the KIP9000 recognizes its IC Tag information. The same Toner Cartridge can no more be installed onto the KIP9000 after that. The KIP9000 does not operate with indicating an error code “C-01” if once emptied Toner Cartridge is installed.

2. 6 Dehumidifying the Roll Media

Printing with a humidified media will result in several printing defects. The most popular defects are “creasing” and “image void”.

If the roll media is kept in the Roll Deck for a long time with being exposed to the air, the media tends to be more humidified and results in the above defects with higher frequency. To avoid this situation as far as possible, the KIP 9000 is provided with the Dehumidify Heater for drying the roll media in the Roll Deck. If the above defects can be seen when the air is very humidified (higher than 60%), try to turn on the Dehumidify Heater as the defects may be resolved.

p

Press “H” to turn on the Dehumidify Heater, and press “L” to turn it off.

Reference

(1) KIP9000 offers some kinds of operation mode of Dehumidify Heater, which specify when the heater should work. Your service personnel select the best operation mode at machine installation considering your usage environment. If “creasing” or “image void” starts to occur so frequently when the usage environment changes (because of seasonal reason and etc) during normal use, it may be fixed if the operation mode is changed to other ones. Consult your service personnel in such case. (User can not change the mode.)

(2) The KIP9000 must be plugged into the outlet for operating the Dehumidify Heater. (Some operation mode enables the Dehumidify Heater to work even if the KIP9000 is turned off at night if only it is plugged in. Do not plug out the KIP9000 in such case especially.)

(3) Dehumidify Heater is just a possibility to fix “creasing” or “image void”, but it is NOT the complete solution for such defects. installed to the Roll Deck, it will be no use in turning on the Dehumidify Heater. The user needs to take great care for preventing the printing media from being humidified.

• Do not unpack the media until right before it is to be installed to the machine.

• When the air is very humidified, do not leave the roll media in the deck. Remove it from

the deck,

If the media has been already humidified before

ut it in a plastic bag and close firmly to avoid the humidity.

Reference

Warm Sleep Mode is a kind of power saving mode. It works when the KIP9000 does not print

for the time the timer specifies. Power consumption is reduced by maintaining the temperature

of fuser at a lower degree than usual stand by state.

Warm Sleep Mode will be cancelled automatically when a print job or a copy job is sent from

the outer device. However it may take time until the KIP9000 starts printing as it needs to

time set as timer in User Mode 4, it will go into the Cold Sleep Mode to save the power consumption.

Reference

Cold Sleep Mode is a power saving mode that can save more power than Warm Sleep Mode. It works when the KIP9000 has not printed for the time the timer specifies. Power consumption is reduced greatly by completely shutting off supplying the power to the fuser unit. The Cold Sleep Mode will be cancelled automatically when a print job or a copy job is sent. However it may take time until the KIP9000 starts printing as it needs to recover the temperature of the fuser. (Printing does not start until the KIP9000 is ready) Note that the Cold Sleep Mode will require longer recovering time than Warm Sleep.

NOTE

If the Cold Sleep does not start even if the time specified in User Mode 4 has passed, the Cold Sleep Mode may be set to OFF.

2.8.8 User Mode 8

(Choice of Standard / Special Print Mode [Plain paper])

[Function] The operation mode of KIP9000 can be set to either Standard Print Mode or Special Print Mode

according to the situation. This setting become effective when printed with a plain paper.

Reference

Many printer parameters of KIP9000 are adjusted most properly in the factory so that the KIP9000 can produce a satisfactory print quality when printing is performed within what the machine specification declares. These parameters adjusted in factory will be applied when the operation mode is set to Standard Mode. Usually the Standard Print Mode is enough for getting a satisfactory print result.

If some usage condition is not within what the machine specification declares, for example some unsupported media is used or the temperature/humidity range is not within specified range, KIP9000 may not be able to produce a satisfactory print result. In such case the service personnel customize some printer parameters most properly so that a satisfactory print result can be obtained even in such special case, and save such parameters as Special Print Mode. (User can not change such parameters.)

What the user has to do in the User Mode 8 is to switch between Standard Print Mode and Special Print Mode according to the situation. Please consult the service personnel as he knows in what case the operation mode should be set to Special Print Mode.

NOTE

User Modes 8, 9 and A are the selection mode of Standard Print Mode and Special Print Mode. Each of them has its own target media type to which the selected operation mode is applied.
