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 unit is likely to be affected if it is placed in slanted conditions or in 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 41°F - 104°F (5°C to 40°C), and humidity of 20 - 80%. When using the unit on the
system rack, be sure to keep this ambient temperature inside the rack.

FOR LONG OPERATING LIFE

UNSUITABLE MATERIALS FOR THE COLOUR VIDEO COPY PROCESSOR

Coat flaking and deformation are likely to occur if the unit is wiped with chemical dusters, benzine, thinner or any other solvent, if
rubber or PVC items are left in contact with the unit for extended duration, or if the unit is sprayed with insecticide.

CARE OF THE CABINET

Unplug and clean with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soap and water solution. Allow to dry completely before
operating. Never use petroleum base solutions or abrasive cleaners.

HEAD ABRASION

The thermal head, like the video head, wears out. When it is abraded, it becomes hard to print out fine details of the picture. In
such a case, it is necessary to replace the thermal head. Consult with the sales dealer for replacing the head.

CONNECTING DEVICES

Read thoroughly “Operating Precautions” of the instruction booklets for the devices connected with the Colour Video Copy
Processor.
The power cord must be disconnected after printing is over.

PRECAUTIONS

FEATURES

CONNECTIONS

PREPARATION

NOTE:
YOUR UNDERSTANDING IS REQUESTED FOR THE LOSS OF IMAGES IN MEMORY DUE TO THE SUDDEN
OCCURRENCE OF A MALFUNCTION.

As for paper sheet set, refer to Page 17, “Paper sheet set”.

THERMAL PAPER

• When the remaining length of the paper is about 25cm (10”), a color belt appears at the paper end. Prepare for replacement
of the paper. If the remaining paper length is less than 25cm (10”), printing becomes uneven due to the uneven paper core
surface.

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

• When the paper runs out during printing, the printing operation stops and “CHANGE PAPER” is displayed by the LCD on the
front panel. Install new paper at this time.

• Store the printed paper in a place with low humidity free from a direct sunlight.

• If the paper absorbs nonvolatile organic solvents (alcohol, ester, ketone, etc.) the print may be discoloured.
Particularly, if the paper comes in contact with soft vinyl chloride such as a transparent tape, it quickens discoloration.

• Do not use paper other than the specified one.

• Immediately after the paper is replaced, 2-3 images may be printed with a blank part due to hand’s dust or oil.

• Avoid a direct sunlight or a place near a heater, and store the paper in a place with 30°C (86°F) or lower temperature and
35-80% RH.

• When the paper is rapidly transferred from a cool place to a hot place, a vapour or a dew is generated on the paper surface
causing paper jam or degraded printing quality.

• A finger print or dust on the paper surface may degrade the printing quality.

Note:

Mitsubishi brand thermal paper is specially treated with an antistatic coating against thermal head damage caused by static­electricity discharge.
The use of non-treated paper may cause premature head failure in your product.
