1 Notes on the printing system documentation
1.1 Overview
The purpose of this documentation is to ensure that all printing system-related work is car-
ried out safely and correctly. It contains safety directives that must be strictly observed.
Each section is divided into small, easy-to-understand subject areas. The beginning of each
section contains an overview to help you quickly find the precise information you are looking
for.
This section contains information on the following topics:
1.2 Signposts >>> page 12
1.3 Using "Help" >>> page 13
1.4 Symbols in the text >>> page 19
1.5 Symbols in diagrams and illustrations >>> page 20
1.6 Other documents >>> page 22
1.7 Manufacturer of the printing system >>> page 22
1.8 Statutory requirements >>> page 23

1.2 Signposts
This section 2 Safety gives you all necessary information on how to safely and efficiently
operate the printing system.
Section 3 Description of the printing system explains the structure of the printing system.
The operational controls are also described.
The section 4 Operator panel describes the individual areas of the operator panel with the
most important icons and buttons. You will also learn how to navigate in the menus, set pa-
rameters and start and complete the replacement of consumables and expendables.
The section 5 Operating the printing system explains how to power the printing system on
and off and the procedure for inserting, removing and changing the paper web.
Section 6 Cleaning the printing system explains the intervals to be followed for cleaning the
different assemblies.
Section 7 Replacing consumables and expendables describes in detail all steps required
to replace consumables or expendables.
Section 8 Correcting faults will help you eliminate paper jams or distortions of the print im-
age.
The context-sensitive direct help on the operator panel provides information on the cause
and correction of specific error or warning messages.
Appendix will provide you with detailed information on all consumables and expendables.
In addition, the required cleaning agents and equipment are described along with the most
important technical data.
Specific subjects can be found more quickly by looking at the detailed index at the end of
the operating manual.
Note
Along with the operating manual, Help is also available in the operator panel of the
printing system. This Help is updated with every new version of the operator panel.

1.5 Symbols in diagrams and illustrations
If not otherwise indicated, diagrams and illustrations of actions depict the starting position
of the respective component for the described step.
For easier understanding, the diagrams only depict the components that are directly rele-
vant to the immediate context.
Arrows denote the positions where you have to perform an action or observe something in
particular. The color of the arrows denotes the type of actions and the sequence in which
they are performed:
Symbol Meaning
Black arrow: Direction arrow
Perform this action first
Grey arrow: Direction arrow

If additional actions are depicted in a dia-
gram, the numbers on the arrows indicate
the sequence in which they are to be car-
ried out, e. g.:
