OPERATION NOTES

If you cannot pull out the drum, press the drum rotation button until it be- comes green.

The leading edge of the prints might become stained if the edge touches the image of prints on the paper delivery table.

The ink of the print on the paper delivery table 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 specified 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.

Also, be careful not to get any ink on your clothing while emptying the mas- ter 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.

When you make a lot of prints from a small image, ink may 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 slowly and yield lower image density.

While making a master, do not leave the platen cover or optional document feeder open.

When you store 1,000 ml/pack ink, make sure to store it upright with the cap pointing up.

If you use originals of letters in Light or Dark Tone function, edges of the letters may be printed clearly and inside of the letters may become screened image.

In Line/Photo mode, moire patterns may occur when screened originals are printed. In this case, make prints in Line or Photo mode.
