OPERATION

Originals

Under the following conditions, the machine might not detect the original on the exposure glass. If you press the Master Making 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 left scale.

. If you do not open the platen cover at an angle of more than 25 degrees with the exposure glass when you replace originals.

The maximum original size you can set on the exposure glass is 307 x 432 mm, 12” x 17”.

If you use paste-up originals, make sure the pasted parts hold firmly to the base sheet. If the thickness of the paste-up original is more than 0.2 mm, 2/250” and the space between the pasted parts is less than 2 mm, 2/25”, a shadow might appear on the 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.

The first 5 mm, 0.2” of the leading edge and the last 3 mm, 0.12“ of the trailing edge cannot be printed. Make sure the leading edge margin is at least 5 mm, 0.2” and the trailing edge margin is at least 3 mm, 0.12”.
