Operation
If you print on rough grained paper, the copy image might be blurred.
You can use A3 (297 × 420mm) or 11" × 17" originals or printing paper. When you
want to print the entire image of an A3, 11" × 17" original, select Reduce mode
because the maximum print areas are as follows:
• Metric version: 290 × 409mm, 11.4" × 16.1"

• Inch version: 290 × 415mm, 11.4" × 16.3"
When you use A3, 11" × 17" and 209.3g/m2, 55.6 lb paper, slow the printing
speed down to setting 1, 2, or 3.
Important
❒ Correct curls in the paper before placing it in the machine. When you cannot
correct the paper curl, stack the paper with the curl face down or face up as
shown in the illustration. If paper is curled, it might wrap around the drum
or stains might appear.

• 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, place the original face
down with the widest margin toward the paper delivery tray or raise the
printing speed.
• Place originals after correction fluid and ink have completely dried. Not tak-
ing this precaution could mark the exposure glass and cause marks to be
printed.
• The first 5mm, 0.2", of the leading edge cannot be printed. Make sure the lead-
ing edge margin is at least 5mm, 0.2".

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 man-
ual.
• 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 benzine, wipe them with a dry cloth after-
wards.
• 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 origi-
nal.
• 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.
97
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 5mm, 0.2" margin at the leading edge of the back side of
the printing paper.
• Press the {Proof} key to perform a test print as the first few prints might be
light.
• When making duplex prints or when using non-white printing paper, the pa-
per 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 tray.
• 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.
6
• 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 tray.
• The ink of the print on the paper delivery tray 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 speci-
fied 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.
• Be careful not to get any ink on your clothing while emptying the master eject
box or while loading a new ink cartridge.
• The image density varies according to the printing speed and the room tem-
perature. So, adjust the printing speed or increase the room temperature.
98
Operation Notes
• 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 print-
ing 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 slow-
ly and yield lower image density.
• While making a master, do not leave the exposure glass cover or optional doc-
ument 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, in-
crease the image density.
• When marks on the printing paper occur, clean the paper feed roller. See
p.103 “Paper Feed Roller (paper feed tray)”.
• If you make a print before the ink on 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. See p.103 “Paper Feed Roller (paper feed
tray)”.
6
Print Paper
• When the paper is curled, correct the curl, 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.
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 5mm, 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, make sure that the pasted parts hold firmly to
the base sheet. If the thickness of the paste-up originals is more than 0.2mm
and the space between the pasted parts is less than 2mm, 0.08", a shadow
might appear on the print.
99
Remarks
• Under the following conditions, the machine might not detect the original on
the exposure glass. If you press the {Start} 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 25 de-
grees with the exposure glass when you replace originals.
• If the machine is installed under a strong light.
