6. REMARKS

Operation Notes

General Cautions

• While printing, do not turn off the main switch.

• While printing, do not open the door or covers.

• While printing, do not unplug the power cord.

• While printing, do not move the machine.

• Keep corrosive liquids, such as acid, off the machine.

• Open and close the door and covers softly.

• Do not put anything except originals on the machine.

• Do not spill liquid on the machine.

• When opening or closing the door or covers, keep hold of them so they don't fall.

• When removing the drum unit from the machine, be careful not to let the drum unit fall.

• Do not modify or replace any parts other than the ones specified in this manual.

• Do not operate the machine without covers. You might get your fingers caught in the machine, or the machine might be damaged because, for example, dust or the like might get inside.

• Since some parts of the machine are sharp and might cause injury, touch only the parts specified in this manual.

• If you clean rubber parts with benzine, wipe them with a dry cloth afterwards.

• Always turn the machine off when you have finished printing for the day.

• If the machine must be transported by vehicle, please contact your service representative.

• 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.

• If the image registration is not consistent, slow the printing speed down to Setting 0.

• When performing duplex or multicolored printing, leave the printed paper for a while before the next printing in order to let the ink dry on the printed paper. If this is not done, feed roller marks will appear on the print image.

105

REMARKS

• If the machine is not used for a long period, the image density might decrease because the ink on the drum might dry. Make extra prints until the image density recovers.

• When the machine is used in low temperature conditions, the image density might decrease. In this case, slow the printing speed down to step 1 or 2.

• When making duplex prints, misdetection of paper wrapping might occur if the paper delivery sensor detects a black area at the leading edge of the back side. Keep at least an 5 mm, 0.2" margin at the leading edge of the back side of the printing paper.

• Press the { light.

• The top sheet might remain between the feed rollers when you press the {

per Feed Table Down

• When making duplex prints or when using non-white printing paper, the paper end sensor might malfunction and fail to detect the paper. In this case, place a blank sheet under the printing paper on the paper feed table.

• The outer portion of the image might not be printed under low temperature. In this case, slow the printing speed down to step 1 or 2, or increase the room temperature.

• The paper exit pawl might contact the printing paper and cause black lines on the prints. In this case, increase the printing speed or make a new master with lighter image density mode.

• If you cannot pull out the drum, close the front cover again to rotate the drum. Pull out the drum after it stopped at the position.

• The leading edge of the prints might become stained if the edge touches the image of prints on the paper delivery table.

• The ink of the print on the paper delivery table might stick to the back side of the next print.

• 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.

• As various kinds and qualities of paper exist, some paper might be wrapped around the drum or cause misfeeds.

• If your hands are stained with ink:

• Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.

• Cleanse skin thoroughly after contact, before breaks and meals, and at the

end of the work period.

• Ink is readily removed from skin by waterless hand cleaners followed by

washing with soap and water.

• Also, be careful not to get any ink on your clothing while emptying the master eject box or while loading a new ink cartridge.

Operation Notes

• The image density varies according to the printing speed and the room temperature. So, adjust the printing speed or increase the room temperature.

• 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.

• Use ink made within one year. Ink stored for a long period tends to dry slowly and yield lower image density.

• While making a master, do not leave the platen cover or optional document feeder open.

• In Letter/Photo mode, moire patterns might occur when screened originals are printed. In this case, make prints in Letter or Photo mode.

• When you use originals with light lettering, edges of the letters might be printed clearly and the inside of the letters might be light. In this case, increase the image density.

Print Paper

• When the paper is curled, stack the paper with the curl face down, otherwise the paper might wrap around the drum or stains might appear.

• Postcards and the like do not absorb ink well. Offset images might appear on the rear side of subsequent prints. Solid image originals will cause offset image prints.

Originals

• If there is no margin or if there is a solid image area near the leading edge of the original, make at least a 5 mm, 0.2", margin at the leading edge; otherwise, the paper might wrap around the drum or the paper exit pawl might become dirty and cause black lines on 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.

• If you use paste-up originals, select Paste Shadow Erase mode (see ⇒ P.21

“Paste Shadow Erase—Erasing The Shadow Of Pasted Originals”) make sure that the pasted parts hold firmly to the base sheet. If the thickness of the paste-up originals is more than 0.1 mm and the space between the pasted parts is less than 2 mm, 0.08", a shadow might appear on the print.

• Under the following conditions, the machine might not detect the original on the exposure glass. If you press the { 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 right

scale.

} key again, the machine will start

Standard Printing

----

Printing

In this manual, the word, “Printing” is used as opposed to “Copying” in order to distinguish between the process that your machine uses to make prints, and the process used by a standard copier machine.

A standard copier scans in the original for each copy set made. This machine, however, scans in your original once and makes multiple prints from this master.

This chapter describes the basic pointing operations that your machine is capable of.

Standard Printing

Set the original face down on the

exposure glass. The original should be centered according to the size marks on the right scale.

Lower the platen cover.
