Operation
Changing the Printing Speed
Use the {WWWW} or {VVVV} key to adjust the printing speed. The relationship be­tween printing speed and print quali­ty depends on the type of paper you use.
Press the {{{{VVVV}}}} key to increase the
A
speed and press the {{{{WWWW}}}} key to re­duce the speed.
Note
The following speeds are avail-
able:
Setting 1 (default): 90 sheets/minute
Setting 2: 105 sheets/minute
Setting 3: 120 sheets/minute
The faster the printing speed be-
comes, the lighter the printing density is, and vice versa.
If you change the print speed
while printing, a print shadow might appear.
When the machine is used in
low temperature conditions, the image density might decrease. In this case, use setting one.

Skip Feed Printing
Skip Feed Printing
If the backs of prints are dirty, you can increase the time between prints using the {Skip Feed} key. By default, when one sheet of paper is fed the drum rotates once. However, you can select the number of rotations of the drum. This gives you the chance to re­move prints one by one from the pa­per delivery tray or insert one sheet of paper between two prints. If you use this function, you can also use paper longer than 432mm, 17.0" in spite of the maximum length limitations of paper.
Note
Two rotations per sheet of paper is
the default. You can change this default setting with the user tools. See No. of Skip Feed P.23 Skip Feed Printing.
The maximum length of paper in
Skip Feed mode is 460mm, 18.1".
When you use paper longer than
432mm, 17.0", completed prints will not be delivered to the paper delivery tray properly, so lower the paper delivery end plate and receive completed prints by hand.
If necessary, select the number of
B
rotations of the drum per sheet of paper fed with the {{{{~~~~}}}} {{{{}}}}}}}} keys.
SKIP FEED NO SETTING INPUT THE NUMBER *
Note
You can also select the number
of rotations with the Number keys.
You can select from 2 to 9 rota-
tions.
By default, the machine asks
you to confirm the number of rotations. You can have this step omitted by adjusting the user tool settings. See No. of Skip Feed P.26 User Tools.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to cut yourself on any sharp yellow edges when you reach inside the machine to remove misfed papers.
----To prevent paper misfeeds:
Check the following before restarting the printing run.
Did you select an appropriate pa-
per type with the [Ppr.Type] key?
3
Note
After clearing misfeeds, make sure
that all the doors, covers, and units are closed and the x indicator is off.
To prevent misfeeds, do not leave
any torn scraps of paper in the ma­chine.
When clearing misfeeds, do not
turn off the main switch. If you do, your print settings will be cleared.
If misfeeds occur repeatedly,
please contact your service repre­sentative.

If the background of prints is dirty, the drum unit might be dirty.
CAUTION:

Note
To avoid getting dirty background prints when printing onto paper smaller
than the original image, select a suitable reduction ratio or use larger print pa­per.
When printing onto paper that does not absorb ink well, the background of
prints might get dirty. In this case, lower the printing speed or use Skip Feed mode to dry the ink on the prints.

Faint Prints
If the machine is not used for a long period of time or you change the color drum unit, the ink on the drum might dry causing print quality to deteriorate. To solve this problem, set back your drum unit to the Master making unit and use Quality Start Mode. Refer to the Master Making Unit's Operating Instructions.
If the print density is still too light even when using Quality Start mode, remake the master.

Do's and Don'ts
CAUTION:
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the equipment. While moving the equipment, you should take care that the power cord will not be damaged under the equipment.
Important
While printing, do not turn off the main switch.
While printing, do not unplug the power cord.
While printing, do not open the door or covers.
While printing, do not move the machine.
Open and close the door and covers softly.
When printing onto paper that contains images on the back, make sure
there is a 10mm (0.4) margin at the back leading edge. If there is no mar­gin, the machine might incorrectly detect that paper is wrapped around the drum and stop printing Refer to the Master Making Unit's Operating Instructions.
When you use envelopes or pasted print paper, the leading edge of print might be damaged.
Make sure to make a few trial prints to check the image position because the image position of the trial print might not correspond with that of the original.
The leading edge of the prints might become stained if the edge touches the image of prints on the paper delivery tray.
Print ink on the paper delivery tray might stick to the back side of the next print.
Press the {Proof} key to perform a test print as the image density of the first few prints might be light.
When the machine is on and the power source is less than 90% of the spec­ified amount, printing quality will decrease. Therefore, make sure the sup­ply from your electrical outlet is at least 90% of the required amount.
When printing a large solid area on A3, 11" x 17" paper, the sides of the print tend to curl up after the print is fed out to the paper delivery tray. The next sheet that feeds out pushes against the curled sheet and a paper mis­feed occurs. In this case, slow the printing speed down.
When you make a lot of prints from a small image, ink might ooze out from the edges of the master, especially under high temperature and when printing in two or more colors. In this case, make a new master.
Large uneven solid image wrinkles the master and you may not print as you want.
