walls to insure proper ventilation. When putting the unit on the system rack, take a space between the unit and the back of the
rack.
UNSUITABLE LOCATIONS
Avoid shaky places or hot-springs areas where hydrogen sulfide and acidic ions are likely to be generated.
PLACES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY AND DUST
Do not place the unit locations with high humidity and dust. They can cause extensive damage. Avoid places where unit is
likely to be exposed to oily fumes and vapours.
PLACES NOT LIKELY TO BE EXTREMELY HOT
Places exposed to direct sunlight, or near heating appliances can attain extremely high temperatures, which may deform the
cabinet, or can become a prime cause of damage.
PLACE THE UNIT ON A HORIZONTAL LEVEL
The unit is likely to be affected if it is placed in slanted conditions or in unstable places.
PROTECT AGAINST DEW FORMATION
In extremely cold regions, if the unit is moved quickly from an extremely cold place to warmer one, dew is likely to be formed.
If dew is formed, printing is not possible.
OPERATING AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE
The operating ambient temperature range is 41°F - 104°F (5°C to 40°C), and humidity of 20 - 80%. When using the unit on the
system rack, be sure to keep this ambient temperature inside the rack.
FOR LONG OPERATING LIFE
UNSUITABLE MATERIALS FOR THE COLOUR VIDEO COPY PROCESSOR
Coat flaking and deformation are likely to occur if the unit is wiped with chemical dusters, benzine, thinner or any other solvent, if
rubber or PVC items are left in contact with the unit for extended duration, or if the unit is sprayed with insecticide.
CARE OF THE CABINET
Unplug and clean with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soap and water solution. Allow to dry completely before
operating. Never use petroleum base solutions or abrasive cleaners.
HEAD ABRASION
The thermal head, like the video head, wears out. When it is abraded, it becomes hard to print out fine details of the picture. In
such a case, it is necessary to replace the thermal head. Consult with the sales dealer for replacing the head.
CONNECTING DEVICES
Read thoroughly “Operating Precautions” of the instruction booklets for the devices connected with the Colour Video Copy
Processor.
The power cord must be disconnected after printing is over.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONS
The supplier will make available on request such circuit diagrams, component part lists, descriptions, calibration instructions or
other information which will assist the USER’s appropriately qualified technical personnel to repair those parts of the
EQUIPMENT which are classified by the manufacturer as repairable.
The use of ACCESSORY equipment not complying with the equivalent safety requirements of this equipment may lead to a
reduced level of the resulting system
Consideration relating to the choice shall include:
- use of the accessory in the PATIENT VICINITY.
- evidence that the safety certification of the ACCESSORY has been performed in accordance to the appropriate EN60601-1
and/or EN60601-1-1 harmonized national standard.
The transportation and storage environmental conditions are:
Temperature : -20°C - +60°C (-4°F - +140°F)
Humidity : 90% RH or less at 40°C (104°F)
Note: The above transportation environmental conditions indicate the storage environmental conditions during transport.
OTHER CAUTIONS
Dust or other foreign matter adhering to the print paper or the ink cassette, or deformation resulting from exposure to extremely
low or high temperatures could cause loss of colour, uneven colour or lines, or wrinkles in the print images.
If there is noise or vibration in the VCR still-image or playback picture, the print image may be distorted or the upper part may be
crooked.
NOTE:
YOUR UNDERSTANDING IS REQUESTED FOR THE LOSS OF IMAGES IN MEMORY DUE TO THE SUDDEN
OCCURRENCE OF A MALFUNCTION.
As for paper sheet set, refer to Page 17, “Paper sheet set”.
THERMAL PAPER
• When the remaining length of the paper is about 25cm (10”), a color belt appears at the paper end. Prepare for replacement
of the paper. If the remaining paper length is less than 25cm (10”), printing becomes uneven due to the uneven paper core
surface.
• When the printed paper is touched by wet hand, the print may be discoloured.
• When the paper runs out during printing, the printing operation stops and “CHANGE PAPER” is displayed by the LCD on the
front panel. Install new paper at this time.
• Store the printed paper in a place with low humidity free from a direct sunlight.
• If the paper absorbs nonvolatile organic solvents (alcohol, ester, ketone, etc.) the print may be discoloured.
Particularly, if the paper comes in contact with soft vinyl chloride such as a transparent tape, it quickens discoloration.
• Do not use paper other than the specified one.
• Immediately after the paper is replaced, 2-3 images may be printed with a blank part due to hand’s dust or oil.
• Avoid a direct sunlight or a place near a heater, and store the paper in a place with 30°C (86°F) or lower temperature and
35-80% RH.
• When the paper is rapidly transferred from a cool place to a hot place, a vapour or a dew is generated on the paper surface
causing paper jam or degraded printing quality.
• A finger print or dust on the paper surface may degrade the printing quality.
Note:
Mitsubishi brand thermal paper is specially treated with an antistatic coating against thermal head damage caused by static-
electricity discharge.
The use of non-treated paper may cause premature head failure in your product.
This product is to be employed with medical equipment, just for
reference purpose, not for medical diagnostic purpose.

2 PRECAUTIONS ON SETTING THERMAL PAPER
When setting the thermal paper, observe the following precautions to prevent paper jam.
• Do not use defective paper.
Do not use the bent or wrinkled paper.
• Adjust the paper position correctly.
When the paper is fed out skewed from the print exit, adjust the paper position so that
it is fed out straight.
• Do not slack the roll paper.
Set the paper tightly to remove any slack.
• Make the paper side even.
If the side of the print paper is uneven or the core is sticking out, the amount of paper
feeding after printing may vary.
When the side of paper is uneven or the core is sticking out, install the print paper after
making the paper side even.
• Other cautions
• Keep the high-density paper away from fingerprint, dust or moisture when storing it.
• Do not touch the rubber roller. Do not stain or damage the roller surface.
• Do not touch the thermal head (located inside the unit). When printing, the thermal
head is heated to high temperature.
• Do not touch the cutter blade.
The core is sticking out. The paper is uneven. Make the paper side even.
