Ventilation slots and holes are provided on the sides and bottom of this unit. Place the unit on a hard and level surface and at least
10cm from walls to insure proper ventilation. When putting the unit on the system rack, provide a space between the unit and the
back of the rack.

UNSUITABLE LOCATIONS

Avoid shaky places or hot-springs areas where hydrogen sulfide and acidic ions are likely to be generated.

PLACES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY AND DUST

Do not place the unit at a high humidity and dusty locations. They can cause extensive damage to the printer. Avoid places where
the unit is likely to be exposed to oily fumes and vapors.

PRECAUTIONS

CONNECTIONS

PREPARATIONFEATURES

PLACES NOT LIKELY TO BE EXTREMELY HOT

Places exposed to direct sunlight, or near heating appliances can attain extremely high temperatures, which may deform the
cabinet, or can become a prime cause of damage.

PLACE THE UNIT ON A HORIZONTAL LEVEL

The printer performance is likely to be affected if it is placed in slanted conditions or in an unstable places.

PROTECT AGAINST DEW FORMATION

In extremely cold regions, if the unit is moved quickly from an extremely cold place to warmer one, dew is likely to be formed.
If dew is formed, printing is not possible.

OPERATING AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE

The operating ambient temperature range is 5˚C-40˚C and the humidity of 20-80%. These conditions must be maintained under
any setup including system rack mounts.

FOR LONG OPERATING LIFE

UNSUITABLE MATERIALS FOR THE DIGITAL COLOR PRINTER

BEFORE OPERATION

USAGE AND KEEPING OF PAPER SHEET SET

NOTE

• Fingerprints or dust on the paper’s surface may degrade print quality and cause
paper jams. Immediately after the paper is replaced, 2-3 images may be printed
with a blank part due to hand’s dust or oil.

• When print paper is rapidly transferred from a cool place to a hot place, vapor or
dew will be generated on the paper’s surface causing paper jams or degraded
print quality. Leave the print paper in the room to stabilize its temperature be­fore using it.

• When print paper and ink sheet runs out during printing, the printing operation
stops and “SHEET/PAPER” lamp on the front panel is lit.

• If paper feeding is repeated while installing the print paper, the indicated num­ber of prints may not be done.

22

2

AFTER PRINTING

22

Surface-laminated print paper which is durable and keeps picture quality is suitable for this
unit. If using print paper without surface laminating, please pay attention to the following
points.

• When the printed paper is touched by a wet hand, the print may be discolored.

• Fading may occur if the print-face is exposed to organic chemical agents which may
affect print paper (e.g., alcohol, ester, ketone based). Fading will be accelerated upon
contact with PVC-based materials (e.g., adhesive tapes, rubber erasers, etc.).

22

2

STORAGE

22

• Leaving the print paper in contact with PVC- based materials causes color of print
paper to come off and to be stained.

• Never store print paper in places that are hot, humid or places exposed to direct sun­light, otherwise color will fade.

Keep print paper in a place where;

temperature : 5 – 40 C
humidity : 20 – 80 %RH

• If the print paper is installed for two or more days, the prints may be rolled after printing.
There is no cause for alarm because the print paper is rolled on the inside of the print­ing unit.
