lowed.
R WARNING:
5
R CAUTION:
• After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Other-
wise the machine might move or come down to cause an injury.
• If you use the machine in a confined space, make sure there is a continuous
air turnover.
• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an elec-
tric shock might occur.
• Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.
• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over,
an injury might occur.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine.
While moving the machine, you should take care that the power cord will not
be damaged under the machine.
• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug (not the cable).
• Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside
the machine.
• For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the machine or expended
supply waste at household waste collection points. Disposal can take place
at an authorized dealer.
• When disposing of a used ink container, reattach the cap to prevent ink from
splattering.
• Be careful not to get ink on your clothes when replacing an ink container. Ink
stains on clothes are hard to remove.
• Be careful not to cut yourself on any sharp edges when you reach inside the
machine to remove misfed sheets of paper or masters.
• If ink comes into contact with your eyes, rinse immediately in running water.
For other symptoms, consult a doctor.
• Keep the ink or ink container out of reach of children.
• If ink is ingested, induce vomiting by drinking a strong saline solution. Con-
sult a doctor immediately.
• If your skin comes into contact with ink, wash the affected area thoroughly
with soap and water.
• While printing, do not touch the belt at the end of the paper delivery tray.
Otherwise, an injury might occur.
• Our products are engineered to meet the high standards of quality and func-
tionality, and we recommend that you only use the expendable supplies
available at an authorized dealer.

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 exam-
ple, 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 water, 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.
• Be sure to make a few trial prints to check the image position because the im-
age 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 1.
• 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.
• 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.
115
Remarks
• In Text/Photo mode, moire patterns might occur when screened originals are
printed. In this case, make prints in Text 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, in-
crease the image density.
• When marks on the printing paper occur, clean the paper feed roller. See
p.120 “Maintaining the Machine”.
• If you make a second print before the ink from the first print dries, the ink
may adhere to the paper feed roller and soil the print. Before printing on the
reverse side of a printed sheet or overprinting on a printed sheet, be sure that
the ink on the first print is adequately dry.
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 im-
age prints.
6
Originals
• If there is no margin or if there is a solid image area near the leading edge of
the original, leave a margin of at least 5 mm, 0.2", at the leading edge; other-
wise, the paper might wrap around the drum or the paper exit pawl might be-
come 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.
• Under the following conditions, the machine might not detect the original on
the exposure glass. If you press the {Master Making} mode select 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 right
scale.
• If you do not open the exposure glass cover at an angle of more than 30°
with the exposure glass when you replace originals.
• If the machine is installed under a strong light.

Remarks
Environmental Conditions
R CAUTION:
• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an elec-
tric shock might occur.
• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over,
an injury might occur.
R CAUTION:
• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and
spacious. Good ventilation is especially important when the machine is used
6 heavily.
R CAUTION:
• After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Other-
wise the machine might move or come down to cause an injury.
• Temperature: 10 – 30°C, 50 – 86°F
• Humidity:
• Main Frame: 20 – 90%RH
• Auto 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, 0.2" 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
• Locations exposed to 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 might cause condensation with-
in the machine.)
• Places where the machine might be subjected to frequent strong vibration.
• Dusty areas.
• Areas with corrosive gases.

Where to Put Your Machine
Power Connection
R WARNING:
• Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and never use an ex-
tension cord.
• Only connect the machine to the power source describe in the manual.
• Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord.
Do not place heavy objects on it. Do not pull it hard nor bend it more
than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.
R CAUTION:
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine.
While moving the machine, you should take care that the power cord will not
be damaged under the machine.
R CAUTION:
• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug (not the cable).
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily acces-
sible.
