OPERATION

Printing Paper

The following types of print paper are not recommended for this machine.

. Paper smaller than 90 mm x 148 mm, 3.6” x 5.9” . Paper larger than 297 mm x 432 mm, 11.6” x 17.0” . Paper heavier than 209.3 g/m2, 55.6 lb . Paper lighter than 47.1 g/m2, 12.5 lb . Roughly-cut paper . Paper of different thickness in the same stack . Buckled or curled paper . Short grain paper . Low stiffness paper

A3 (297 x 420 mm), 11” x 17“, originals or printing paper can be used but the maximum print area is 290 x 415 mm, 11.4” x 16.3”. Select Reduce mode when you want to print the entire image of an A3, 11” x 17“ original.

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.

OPERATION

Originals

Under the following conditions, the machine might not detect the original on the exposure glass. If you press the Master Making key again, the machine

will start making a master anyway. . When you set a dark original on the exposure glass. . When the original is not centered according to the size marks on the left

scale.

. If you do not open the platen cover at an angle of more than 25 degrees

with the exposure glass when you replace originals.

The maximum original size you can set on the exposure glass is 307 x 432

mm, 12” x 17”. If you use paste-up originals, make sure the pasted parts hold firmly to the

base sheet. If the thickness of the paste-up original is more than 0.2 mm,

2/250” and the space between the pasted parts is less than 2 mm, 2/25”, a

shadow might appear on the prints. If you use originals that have bold letters or solid images at the leading

edges, you might get prints with dirty edges. In this case, insert the widest margin first, or raise the printing speed.

The first 5 mm, 0.2” of the leading edge and the last 3 mm, 0.12“ of the trailing edge cannot be printed. Make sure the leading edge margin is at

least 5 mm, 0.2” and the trailing edge margin is at least 3 mm, 0.12”.

The 1 mm, width of the margins will change depending on the reduction ratios.

Shadows near the book edge might not be erased completely. If the shapes of the originals are as below, shadows might appear on the

prints. In this case, make a master with the platen cover closed.

If there is a line or solid image on the margin and you erase the center and the edges, the image might be erased the function described on page 38.
