INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

1. Machine Environment

The installation location should be carefully chosen because environmental

conditions greatly affect the performance of amachine.

Iml I-Optimum environmental conditions -

●

Temperature: 10 – 30°c

(50 -86”F)

Humidity: 20 – 90% RH

Ventilation:

IMISCELLANEOUS I

1. Operating Cautions

If there is no blank area or asolid image area on the leading edge of

the original, create ablank area because the paper may wrap around

the drum or the paper eject pawl may become dirty and cause black

line on prints.

When the paper is curled, stack the paper with the curl face down,

otherwise the paper may wrap around the drum or stains may appear.

Make sure to make afew trial prints to check the image position be-

cause the image position of the trial print

of the original.

If the image registration is not consistent,

than step 3.

may not correspond with that

set the printing speed slower

The leading edge of the prints may become stained if the edge touches

the image of prints on the paper delivery table.

In case of duplex or multicolor printing, leave the printed paper for a

while before the next printing in order to dry the ink 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 along period, the image density may

decrease because the ink on the drum may dry. Make extra prints until

the image density recovers.

When the machine is used in IOW temperature conditions, the image

density may decrease. In this case, decrease the printing speed (1 or 2

steps).

The ink of the print on the paper delivery table may stick to the back

side of the next print.

10.

11.

12.

13.

14.

15.

16.

When making duplex prints, misdetection of paper wrapping may occur

because the paper delivery sensor detects the black area at the leading

edge of the back side. Keep more than 10mm/O.4° blank area at the

leading edge of the back side of the printing paper.

Do not use the thermal head cleaner for anything but cleaning the ther-

mal head. Also, be Sure to read ttle cautions about the thermal head

cleaner, and be careful as this cleaner is an alcohol.

Take note of the following regarding the cleaner:

●

Do not take internally.

Do not breathe it.

Keep out of the reach of children.

If it comes in contact with skin, wash well with water.

Keep away from eyes. If it comes in contact with your eyes, wash well. If

irritation occurs, contact your doctor.

Never place it whet’e it will be exposed to heat.

When feeding 51/2’’x8l/2° paper in the sideways direction, the prints may

not stack correctly on the paper delivery table. In this case, push up the

wing guide release lever.

Perform atest print using the Proof key as the first few prints may be

light.

When the machine is mand the power source is less than 90% of the

specified amount, printing quality will decrease. Therefore, make sure

the mains supply is at least 90% of the required amount.

Such paper as postcards do not absorb ink well. Therefore, offset im-

ages may appear on the rear side of following prints. Solid image

originals will make offset image prints.

AS various kinds and qualities of paper exist, Some paper may be

wrapped around the drum and/or cause jams.
