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.

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.

Note
❒ Paper with a thickness of 47.1 - 209.3 g/m2 can be used. However, when using
a thickness less than 52.5 g/m
2
or greater than 81.6 g/m2, it is advised to select
printing speed to setting 1.
❒ About 1,000 sheets of paper with a 64 g/m
2
thickness is the standard amount
that can be set in the paper feed tray. This amount changes depending on the
paper thickness. In general, set paper at a height less than 105 mm.
❒ When using paper that easily curls or waves in humidity, if there is high hu-
midity (more than 80%), set less than 500 sheets in the paper feed tray.
❒ Paper with a length of 90 - 297 mm and width of 140 - 420 mm can be set in
the paper feed tray. However, when using a paper size that exceeds 275 mm
length and 395 mm width, specify A3 Paper Feed. Specifying this function
sets the printing speed to 80 cpm and the print position to -20 mm (Type 1: A4
drum) / -10 mm (Type 2: B4 drum).

❒ Do not use curled or waved paper. Use paper with less than 5 mm curl and 3
mm wave.
❒ When paper feed problems arise, try using a slower print speed.

Before Using the Machine
Non-recommended Paper
The following types of paper are not recommended for this machine:
• Roughly cut paper
• Paper of different thickness and types in the same stack
2
• Envelopes heavier than 85 g/m
• 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 paper that has low stiffness
• 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
, 22 lb.
ZFXX040E
• The following types of envelopes
Note
❒ Do not use inkjet paper. It does not absorb ink well, print will smudge if
rubbed, and the back of paper may be dirtied.
❒ If you print on rough grained paper, the print image might be blurred.

Print Paper
Important
❒ Correct curls in the paper before placing it in the machine. When you cannot
correct the paper curl, stack the paper with the curl face down or face up as
shown in the illustration. If the paper is curled, it might wrap around the
drum or stains might appear.
