vii* When the HC Auto Stacker is connected. *1 1,782 (70 3/16")*2 1,875 (73 7/8")*3 2,020 (79 9/16") When the HC Auto Stacker is removed from the Printer for a recovery of paper jam.Handling of The Machine!!!!Do not turn off the Main Power Switch or unplug the electrical (power) cord during operation.!!!!Do not open any covers during operation.!!!!Do not move the machine.!!!!The machine has precision parts and driving parts inside. Do not handle the machine in other ways than described in this manual.!!!!Contact your service representative before moving the machine.!!!!Do not place heavy objects on or apply shocks to the machine.!!!!Be sure to open and close any cover gently.!!!!When turning off the Main Power Switch of the machine and then turning it on again, wait more than 10 seconds before turning it on.!!!!If the machine will not be used or has not been used for a long time, be sure to perform Ink Head Maintenance (normal cleaning). Otherwise, deterioration or drying of ink occurs in the ink transfer path inside the machine, resulting in clogging at the head. To prevent this problem, periodic use is recommended.!!!!Never touch the print head because a failure or deterioration of images may occur.!!!!Be sure to use always the machine with the four ink cartridges mounted. Even if some ink cartridge is not used, do not leave the machine with an ink cartridge removed.Handling and Storage of Ink Cartridge!!!!Do not shake the Ink Cartridge before use. Air bubbles may occur, resulting in defective printing.!!!!Do not add ink into the Ink Cartridge.!!!!If ink remains for a long time after the cartridge is opened, the ink may be deteriorated because of various components contained in the air. Use of deteriorated ink may cause a failure of the print head or the ink transfer path.!!!!The injection characteristic of the ink jet printer varies with viscosity of the ink. At a low temperature, particularly, the viscosity increases and clogging of the print head may occur. Observe the operation environment and storage temperature, and use the ink earlier checking the date of manufacture.!!!!The adequate operation temperature of the machine is 15°C - 30°C (59°F to 86°F) Use of the machine out of the adequate temperature range may cause defective printing (decrease of discharge).!!!!Do not release the ink left in the cartridge into a sewer.!!!!Do not keep Ink Cartridge with its nozzle downward.!!!!Store under conditions which avoid freezing or direct sunlight, and temperatures of 5°C (41°F) or lower, and 35°C (95°F) or higher. Also use the ink earlier checking the date of manufacture.Handling and Prints of Paper!!!!Be sure to load paper that is not curled.!!!!Be sure to store unused paper to avoid humidity by wrapping it with packing paper.!!!!In duplex printing, the edges of paper may be stained depending on the original.!!!!Prints are discoloured by influence of various components in the air and light. If prints are dried sufficiently and then put in a frame with glass or is laminated for storage, discolouration becomes small.!!!!When storing prints in a clear file, use a file made of PET.!!!!Prints are decolourized by moisture or sweat. Avoid storage in a location exposed to waterdrops. Also writing with an oil-based pen may cause bleeding.!!!!The printing density differs between prints immediately after printing and those 24 hours after printing. Note that the density decreases as the time elapses.
viii!!!!Do not stack prints on other prints that are output with a laser printer or a copier that uses toner. Paper may be stuck to the portions printed with toner or toner may be transferred to the prints.!!!!Store paper flat avoiding high temperature, high humidity, and direct sunlight. Note that the curled paper cannot be used.Disposal of Ink Cartridge and Ink Drain Tank!!!!The ink may leak through the ink feed opening of the cartridge. When returning, attach the cap and put the cartridge into the inner bag and the packing material.!!!!Used Ink Cartridges and Ink Drain Tanks are collected by a service representative. After use is complete, close the cap securely.!!!!Ink in the ink drain tank cannot be used for printing. A failure or trouble may occur.Print Area (Image Area)Regardless of the original paper size, printing cannot be performed on a part of paper along the sides of the paper. Since use of paper of the same size as the original leaves margins, the full area of the paper is not used for printing.To print an original on which characters or figures occupy the full area, reduce the full area of the original and then perform printing. When printing onto an envelope, the print area is different. Refer to "Printing onto Envelope." "p.1-21####Guaranteed Print Area (Image Area)Printing can be performed into the area 5 mm (3/16") inside from the sides of paper.
ix####Maximum Print Area (Image Area)When an original is scanned through the optional scanner, printing can be performed into the area inside 1 mm (0.04") from the sides of paper but deterioration of print quality such as loss of characters or figures and bleeding may occur depending on the original.Even if the paper size is larger than 316mm × 460mm (127/16" × 181/8"), the actual maximum printable area is 314mm × 458mm (123/8" × 185/16"). •"4.10 Image Area" of the menu setting must be set. "4.10 Image Area" "p.2-29•Depending on the application, it may not be possible to make a margin of 1 mm (0.04") width along the edges of paper. (In most application software, margin width of 5 mm (3/16") is required.)Materials Not to Be PrintedDo not use the machine in any manner which violates the law or infringes on established copyrights, even when making copies for personal use. Consult your local authorities for further details. In general, use discretion and common sense.Power Connection!!!!Connect the power plug securely to the electrical outlet to avoid improper connection.!!!!Install the machine near the electrical outlet.!!!!If an optional device is connected to an electrical outlet for option connection on the machine, the optional device is turned on and off at the same time as the machine.!!!!Use only the power cord supplied by the seller of the controller, or use a cord that is earthed, not longer than 4.5m, rated not less than the controller is rated, and authorized by the state or region where it is used.SleepWhen the machine is on and is not used for a certain time, the machine enters automatically the energy saving mode. Two types of energy saving mode are provided: Stand-by mode and Sleep mode.•Stand-by mode: Power consumption is 150 W or less.When data is received from a computer, the machine enters the print mode.To turn on the print mode from the operation panel of the printer, press the WAKE-UP Key.•Sleep mode: Power consumption is 200 W or less.To enable reception of data, perform startup operation from a computer.To start up from the operation panel of the printer, press the Sleep Key.The energy saving function is set in "Menu 5 Administration" on the operation panel.If the machine is not used for a long time, turn off the Main Power Switch and remove the power plug from the electrical outlet. (When the Main Power Switch is turned off, the power consumption becomes 0 W.)
xConnecting to a ComputerThe machine is connected to a computer through network.!!!!When connecting the machine to multiple computers:!!!!When connecting the machine to a single computer:! The allowable voltage for all input/output connections is 5V. Use a commercially available S/UTP cable (shielded or non-shielded twisted pair cable) as a LAN cable.
