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.

misfed paper.
----To prevent paper misfeeds:
When a thin paper misfeed in the paper exit section occurs, reduce the
printing speed with the {WWWW}{VVVV}
{Speed} keys (⇒ P.22 “Changing the
Printing Speed”). If you cannot reduce
the printing speed, move the end
plate toward the paper delivery tray
edge.

Poor Printing
Dirty Background
If the background of prints is dirty, the drum unit might be dirty.
CAUTION:
•If ink comes into contact with your eyes, rinse immediately in running water.
In the case of any abnormal symptoms, consult a doctor.
CAUTION:
•Keep the ink or ink container out of the reach of children.
CAUTION:
•If ink is ingested, force vomiting by drinking a strong saline solution and consult a doctor immediately.
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.
Open the front cover.

Troubleshooting
While pressing the drum lock, turn the drum until you can see the trailing
C
edge of the master.
With a dry soft cloth, remove any ink that has accumulated on the trailing
D
edge of the drum unit.
40
Important
❒ Do not use benzine, thinner, or other organic liquids—doing so can dam-
age the machine.
Turn the drum unit and lock it until it click after cleaning it.
E
Poor Printing
Insert the drum unit until it locks in position, then lower the drum unit
F
lock lever.
Close the front door.
G
When the Press Roller is Dirty
If the background of prints is dirty, the Press Roller might be dirty.
3
Make several prints until clear image appears.
A
Note
❒ If the print is still dirty, contact your service representative.
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.
