Please be sure to connect the power cord to a power source as above. For details about power source, see p.131 “Power Connection”.
When using this machine, the following safety precautions should always be followed.
In this manual, the following important symbols are used:
RWARNING:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not followed, could result in death or serious injury.
RCAUTION:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not followed, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to property.
RWARNING:
•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 collection sites.
•To avoid injury, do not touch moving parts or insert your fingers in the opening during machine operation. To de-energize moving parts, open the front cover.
i
RCAUTION:
•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. Consult 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.
•Do not touch the paper delivery extractor as it is very sharp.

The following types of paper are not recommended for this machine:
•Roughly-cut paper
•Paper of different thickness in the same stack
•Envelopes heavier than 85g/m2, 22 lb.
•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
•Thin and flimsy paper
•Paper that is prone to generate a lot of paper dust
•Grained paper loaded with the direction of the grain perpendicular to the feed direction
•Certain types of long thin envelopes e.g. international mail envelopes

Operation
• The following types of envelopes:
1
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 209.3g/m2, 55.6 lb paper, slow the printing speed down to Setting 1, 2 or 3.
Important
Correct curls in the paper before placing it in the machine. When you are unable 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
The maximum original size that you can place on the exposure glass is 304.8 × |
|
432mm, 12" × 17". |
1 |
|
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 2mm, 0.08", of the trailing edge cannot be printed.

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 JISLKor A4Kof 52.3 g/m2, 13.9 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/m2, 13.9 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.
When the paper alignment wings are raised, prints may not be delivered neatly stacked, depending on
paper type. If this happens, lower |
|
the wings. |
