Advanced drivers and comprehensive print utilities make the KIP 7170 an advanced, easy to
use system. (some functions may be optional)
(2) KIP HDP technology generates no waste toner.
(3) The combination of the KIP HDP Plus imaging system with mono-component minute toner
produces high definition lines, distinctive greyscale and consistent blacks.
(4) The maximum paper width is 36” (914mm) wide, and the minimum is 11” (279mm). The
maximum paper length is 6m (with 36” paper) or, and the minimum is 8.5” (210mm).
(5) Up to 600dpi print resolutions with an enhanced scanning system produces the highest quality
images controlled by an advanced KIP Image Process System.
(6) Easy access to USB port allows users to provide efficient productivity by using “File to Print” /
“Scan to USB” (option).
(7) 2-way print delivery (front, up to 50 sheets of plain paper / rear) suits the preference of the
user’s print handling. (rear stacking requires a stacking device, option)

1. 5. 2 Keeping the paper in the custody
Keep the paper in the custody taking care of the following matters.
1. Do not expose the paper to the direct sunlight.
2. Keep the paper away from high humidity. (It must be less than 70%)
3. Put the paper on a flat place
4. If you will keep the paper in the custody, which you have already unpacked, put it into the
polyethylene bag to avoid the humidity.
CAUTION
Do not use the paper with staple, or do not use such conductive paper as aluminium foil and
carbon paper.
Such paper may become cause for the fire.
NOTE
(1) Print image may become light if printed on a paper of rough surface.
(2) Print image may become defective if the print paper is much curled.
(3) It will become a cause for paper mis-feed, defective print image or crease of paper if you
use a paper that does not satisfy the specification.
(4) Do not use a paper of which surface is very special, such as thermal paper, art paper,
aluminium foil, carbon paper and conductive paper.
(5) Do not use papers with unpacked (exposed in high / low temperature & humidity) in a
long period. Such papers may result in mis-feed, defective image or paper creasing.
(6) Tracing paper exposed to air over a long period tends to defective printing.
Removing one round on the surface of the tracing roll paper from the beginning is
recommended.
(7) Initial cut for the leading edge before making a long print is recommended.

The machine had passed our strict inspection after careful adjustment in the factory, and
then it was packaged and shipped. Installation is an important work to make the machine
work at customer’s site as same as it has passed our strict inspection before shipment.
A service engineer has to understand machine’s function very well. Install the machine in a
good environmental place in a correct way, and then check that it works perfectly.
