REQUIREMENTS

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The machine’s location should be carefully chosen because environmental conditions can affect its performance.

Optimum Environmental Conditions

Temperature: 10 - 30°C, 50 - 86 °F Humidity: Main frame: 20 - 90 % RH
Document feeder (option): 20 - 70 % RH
A strong and level base (A sturdy desk and cabinet etc.). The machine must be level within 5 mm (13/64") both front to rear and left to
right.
Make sure to locate this machine in a large well ventilated room that has an air
turnover of more than 30 m3/hr/person.

Environments To Avoid

Direct sunlight or strong light (more than 1500 lux). Locations directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner or heated air from
a heater. (Sudden temperature changes from low to high or vice versa may cause condensation within the machine.)
Dusty areas.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Power Connection

WARNING:
R
Only connect the machine to the power source described on the inside front cover of this manual. Avoid multi-wiring as it could cause an electric shock or a fire.
Avoid using an extension cord. Make sure the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible so that in event of an emergency it can be unplugged easily.
Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on it, pull it hard or bend it more than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.
CAUTION:
R
When you move the machine, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet to avoid fire or electric shock.
When you pull out the plug from the socket, grip the plug to avoid damaging the cord and causing fire or electric shock.

Roughly-cut paper
Paper of different thickness in the same stack
Buckled or curled paper
Short grain paper
Low stiffness paper
Correct curls in the paper before setting it in the machine. When you cannot
correct the paper curl, stack the paper with the curl face down. Otherwise the paper might wrap around the drum or stains might appear.
Store paper where it will not curl or absorb moisture. Use paper soon after it is
unpacked.
Only use paper where the leading edge has two right angle corners, as shown
below.

What is One Touch Class mode?
This feature is useful for teachers who frequently make multiple print sets for their classes, e.g. notes, handouts, tests etc.
Using a standard print function, the teacher would have to stand by the machine entering the number of prints and pressing the Start key for each class. However, One Touch Class mode allows you to program the number of students in each class into the machine beforehand. Then, whenever you need to make print sets for several classes, set your original, select the classes who need prints and press the Start key. Print sets will be made containing the correct number of prints for each class.
If you have the Tape Dispenser option, print sets will be sent to the paper
delivery table separated by a slip of tape for easy separation. If you do not have this option, the machine will stop after each set has been printed. In this case, remove the stack from the paper delivery table and press the Start key to start printing the next set.
You can program student numbers for up to 9 grades with 10 classes in each,
giving a maximum of 90 classes. Each class can have up to 9999 students.

Example:
Imagine a school with 4 grades and 6 classes in each grade. There are 27 students in every class in grades 1 to 3, and grade 4 has varying numbers of students due to a high transfer rate. The information you need to program in the machine might look like that shown in the table below:

Programming student numbers
Before you can use One Touch Class Mode, you need to program the number of students in each class. Because classes are grouped into grades, you must program one grade at a time.
There are two methods of programming a grade:
Simple: Use if all classes in a grade have the same number of
students. (saves entering the same number over and over again)
Multi: Use if class student numbers vary.
Note that to specify a grade, you need to use the One Touch Class keys. If you
cannot see the key you need, flip over the plate (see below).

Skip Feed Printing (Skip Feed Mode)

If the back of prints are dirty, you can increase the time between two prints using the Skip Feed key. In the default setting, when one sheet of paper is fed the drum rotates once.

Recovering The Image Density (Quality Start)

If the machine is not used for a long period of time, the image density might decrease because the ink on the drum might dry. Printing quality can be regained by making a few prints. The Quality Start function recovers the image density quality by making a print with slow printing speed (20 sheets/minute). It prevents you from making extra prints.
You can select how many times Quality Start mode is carried out for each
master making using Service Program mode. See page 105.
When you set the Quality Start function, the bold letters or solid images may be
light.
If you use the Quality Start function before 6 hours have passed after the last
operation, the image density may not be recovered earlier. However, it is con ­venient to use this function when you change drum unit and make prints before 6 hours have passed after the last operation.
