1. Generalities
1.1 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRINTER
The NIPSON printer is a non impact printer which uses a magnetographic printing
process.
It is a page printer accepting continuous fanfold paper.
According to the option choosen for the printer, the print speed ranging goes :
- for a NIPSON 8000 printer, from 30 to 70 m/min
- for a NIPSON 7000 printer, from 30 to 60 m/min.
The pinless printer accepts caroll pinfeed paper and pinless paper.
The S.E.D. printer is composed of a printer and a paper turning system.
This option is only available with the NIPSON 7000 printer.
The first side (recto) is printed on the first passage of the sheet, then the second side is
printed (verso) after the paper has passed under the printer and been turned and the
paper width shifted horizontally. The first side is placed on the operator side.
The T. E . D . p r i n t e r is composed of two printers. The first side (recto) is printed on
theNipson upstream printer, and the second side on the downstream printer after
mechanical turning of the paper.

1.2 MACHINE PACKING
Each module of the machine is secured to a pallet and covered with a sealed bag.
Each assembly is packed in a cardboard box which is fixed to the pallet.
The unpacking leaflet is fixed outside the packaging.
NOTE: Printer unpacking, without packaging destruction requires a free height of at
least 3.50 m.
1.3 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY REQUIREMENTS
To get both maximum reliability and system operating time:
--In 600 DPI :
- The printer environment must be maintained between 18ºC and 30ºC (optimum
22ºC ± 2ºC),
- The printer humidity must be maintained between 40 % and 70 % relative
humidity (optimum 50% ±5%).
However maximal values of temperature and relative humidity must not be reached
together (see below).
-In 480 or 240 DPI :
- The printer environment must be maintained between 17ºC and 30ºC (optimum
22ºC ± 2ºC),
- The printer humidity must be maintained between 30 % and 70 % relative
humidity (optimum 50% ±5%).
However maximal values of temperature and relative humidity must not be reached
together (see below).

-Atmospheric pressure must be between 562 and 780 mm Hg.
-Heat dissipation
The printer room must be able to remove heat generated by the printer.
CAUTION: Since the T.E.D. printer is composed of two standard printers, the heat
given off is double that of the standard machine..

1.4 AIR CONDITIONING
The air-conditioned room must be built according to current building standards and
respect the following points:
- Controlling and adjusting the temperature :
Temperature gradient should not exceed ± 4 ºC/h.
- Controlling and adjusting the relative humidity.
Relative humidity gradient should not exceed ± 8 %/h.
- Filtering the circulated air.
Signalling for conditions which are out of tolerance.
- Introduction of new air and evacuation of old air with rate determined according to
the following criteria:
- 70 m3/h per printer
or
- 45 m3/h per person working in the room
or
- according to current legislation for the locality.
The maximum value from the three values determined above will be chosen as the
minimum air renewal rate required.
- The printer will be installed below an air outlet.

1.5 PAPER STORAGE
Toner is supplied in sealed containers which should be stored with cap upward.
Storage conditions
- Paper must not be removed from its original packaging.
- Isolate the cartons and rolls from the floor.
- To avoid a thermal shock, do not store the rolls and the cartons close to a heat
source or opened windows.
- The paper should be protected from physical shocks.
- The packaging must be opened only when the paper is to be used.
- Climatic conditions must be as close as possible to utilization conditions:
- temperature: 18 ºC to 25 ºC,
- Humidity: 25 % to 55 % relative humidity.
Storage conditions outside these limits may be followed by a suitable stabilization
period before use.
- In case paper is stored in an area where the temperature is different from the printer
room temperature by more than 5ºC , it is necessary to respect minimum storage
times for paper brought into the printing room, according to the following table:
Difference of temperature Minimum stabilization
between paper storage time before use
room and printing room
6ºC to 12ºC 2 days
12ºC to 18ºC 3 days
18ºC to 22ºC 5 days
22ºC to 28ºC 7 days
The time required to eliminate a relative humidity difference in the paper depends on
its packaging and must be determined by measurements with hygrometric knife.
1.6 TONER STORAGE
Toner is supplied in sealed containers which should be stored with cap upward.
Storage conditions:
- Temperature: lower than +30 ºC,
with a maximum temperature, even for short duration
(some hours), of 38º C.
- Relative humidity (RH): < 60 %.

1.7 CLEANING
1.7.1 Cleaning of the printer
The printer should be maintained and cleaned regularly to remove paper and toner
particles which may adhere to it.
For printer cleaning, the use of a vacuum cleaner equipped with an external absolute filter
is necessary.
The main characteristics of the vacuum cleaner are:
- 100% main filter.
- Paper waste recovery bag with a capacity of 4-5 liters.
- Vacuum > 1.80 m column of water.
- Flexible hose with an external diameter of 32 mm.
Example: NILFISK vacuum cleaner (No. 3970-39).
It has the following accessories, which can be ordered separately under the
following references:
- Paper bag No. 815300.
- Absolute filter No. 115-650.
- Flexible hose No. 115-435.
1.7.2 Cleaning of the room - dust accumulation
It is recommended that the room of the machines and the associated systems answer the
specifications of the class ISO 8 of standard NF IN ISO 14644-1 relating to the cleanrooms
(corresponding about to the class 100 000 of the Federal Standard 209E).
The table below points out information of the classes concerned.
If this recommendation is not respected, that will generate adaptations of the frequencies and
maintenance actions.
The cleaning of the system room and the surrounding areas must be made daily with a particular
care, preferably when the printer is not active, with suitable hardware (for example
NILFISK vacuum cleaner (see above)).
A thorough cleaning under the raised floor and of the suspended ceiling should be planned to allow
clean passage of air and cables.
This should be done twice per year by professional cleaners.

particles of size equal or higher than that given below
