When using this machine, the following safety precautions should always be followed.
Safety During Operation
In this manual, the following important symbols are used:
WARNING:
CAUTION:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions
are not followed, could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not
followed, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to property.
R WARNING:
• Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord.
Do not place heavy objects on it. Do not pull it hard nor bend it more
than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.
• Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the
power cable or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
• To avoid hazardous electric shock, do not remove any covers or
screws other than those specified in this manual.
• Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug,
not the cable) if any of the following occurs:
• You spill something into the machine.
• You suspect that your machine needs service or repair.
• The external housing of your machine has been damaged.
• Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols.
A fire or an electric shock might occur.
• Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and never use an extension cord.
• Only connect the machine to the power source described in this manual.
• Disposal can take place at our authorized dealer or at appropriate col-
lection sites.
i
R CAUTION:
• After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Otherwise the machine might move or come down to cause an injury.
• If you use the machine in a confined space, make sure there is a continuous
air turnover.
• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might occur.
• Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.
• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over,
an injury might occur.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine.
While moving the machine, you should take care that the power cord will not
be damaged under the machine.
• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug (not the cable).
• Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside
the machine.
• For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the machine or expended
supply waste at household waste collection points. Disposal can take place
at an authorized dealer.
• When disposing of a used ink container, reattach the cap to prevent ink from
splattering.
• Be careful not to get ink on your clothes when replacing an ink container. Ink
stains on clothes are hard to remove.
• Be careful not to cut yourself on any sharp edges when you reach inside the
machine to remove misfed sheets of paper or masters.
• If ink comes into contact with your eyes, rinse immediately in running water.
For other symptoms, consult a doctor.
• Keep the ink or ink container out of reach of children.
• If ink is ingested, induce vomiting by drinking a strong saline solution. Con-
sult a doctor immediately.
• If your skin comes into contact with ink, wash the affected area thoroughly
with soap and water.
• While printing, do not touch the belt at the end of the paper delivery tray or
the job separator. Otherwise, an injury might occur.
• Our products are engineered to meet the high standards of quality and functionality, and we recommend that you only use the expendable supplies
available at an authorized dealer.

• Folded, curled, creased, or damaged paper
• Damp paper
•Torn paper
• Slippery paper
• Rough paper
• Paper with any kind of coating (such as carbon)
• Short grain paper

If you print on rough grained paper, the copy image might be blurred.
You can use A3 (297 × 420mm) or 11" × 17" originals or printing paper. However,
use the Reduce mode to ensure that the entire image is printed. This is because
the maximum print areas are as follows:
• Metric version: 290 × 410mm, 11.4" × 16.1"
• Inch version: 290 × 420mm, 11.4" × 16.5"
When you use A3, 11" × 17" and 209.3 g/m
speed down to Setting 1, 2 or 3.
Important
❒ Correct curls in the paper before placing it in the machine. When you are un-
able to correct the paper curl, stack the paper with the curl either face up or
face down as shown below. If paper is curled, it might wrap around the drum
or cause the prints to be stained.

Originals
Originals
The maximum original size that you can place on the exposure glass is 304.8 ×
432mm, 12" × 17".
If your originals have bold letters or solid images at the leading edges, you might
get prints with dirty edges. In this case, place the original face down on the exposure glass, with its widest margin toward the paper delivery tray.
Place originals on the exposure glass only after the ink or correction fluid on
them is completely dry. Not taking this precaution could stain the exposure
glass and cause the stains to be printed.
As a general rule, place originals on the exposure glass as shown below.
ZDZX030E
The first 5mm, 0.2", of the leading edge cannot be printed. When using the optional document feeder, the first 5mm, 0.2", of the leading edge as well as the last

Adjusting the Paper Alignment
Wings and Chocks
Use the paper alignment wings and
chocks to stack printed paper neatly.
Note
❒ Prints may be delivered curled up
if they contain large areas of solid
image. If this happens, raise the
paper alignment wings to about 45
degrees. When printing on B5
JISL K or A4K of 52.3 g/m
lb or thinner, slide the chocks up
together.
❒ Depending on the type of paper
you are using, you may not be able
to load to capacity (1000 sheets)
when the wings are raised.
❒ When printing on 52.3 g/m
lb or thinner at a fast speed, paper
jams (C) may occur in the paper
exit area. If this happens, do the
following:
• Decrease print speed.
Reference
p.27 “Changing the Printing
Speed”
• Lower the paper alignment wings.
• Push the end plate toward the
paper delivery tray edge.
❒ When the paper alignment wings
