Safety Information
When using this machine, the following safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed.
Safety During Operation
In this manual, the following important symbols are used:
RWARNING:
R
WARNING:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions
are not followed, could result in death or serious injury.
R
CAUTION:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not
followed, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to property.
•Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord.
Do not place heavy objects on it. Do not pull it hard nor bend it more
than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.
•Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the
power cable or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
•To avoid hazardous electric shock, do not remove any covers or
screws other than those specified in this manual.
•Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug,
not the cable) if any of the following occurs:
•You spill something into the machine.
•You suspect that your machine needs service or repair.
•The external housing of your machine has been damaged.
•Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols.
A fire or an electric shock might occur.
•Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and never use an ex-
tension cord.
•Only connect the machine to the power source described in this man-
ual.
•Disposal can take place at our authorized dealer or at appropriate col-
lection sites.

RCAUTION:
•After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Other-
wise the machine might move or come down to cause an injury.
•If you use the machine in a confined space, make sure there is a continuous
air turnover.
•Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an elec-
tric shock might occur.
•Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.
•Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over,
an injury might occur.
•Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine.
While moving the machine, you should take care that the power cord will not
be damaged under the machine.
•When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug (not the cable).
•Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside
the machine.
•For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the machine or expended
supply waste at household waste collection points. Disposal can take place
at an authorized dealer.
•When disposing of a used ink container, reattach the cap to prevent ink from
splattering.
•Be careful not to get ink on your clothes when replacing an ink container. Ink
stains on clothes are hard to remove.
•Be careful not to cut yourself on any sharp edges when you reach inside the
machine to remove misfed sheets of paper or masters.
•If ink comes into contact with your eyes, rinse immediately in running water.
For other symptoms, consult a doctor.
•Keep the ink or ink container out of reach of children.
•If ink is ingested, induce vomiting by drinking a strong saline solution. Con-
sult a doctor immediately.
•If your skin comes into contact with ink, wash the affected area thoroughly
with soap and water.
•While printing, do not touch the belt at the end of the paper delivery tray or
the job separator. Otherwise, an injury might occur.
•Our products are engineered to meet the high standards of quality and func-
tionality, and we recommend that you only use the expendable supplies
available at an authorized dealer.

1. Operation
Printing Paper
The following types of print paper are not recommended for this machine.
• Paper smaller than 90 mm ×140 mm, 3.6" ×5.6"
• Paper larger than 275 mm ×395 mm, 10.8" ×15.6"
• Paper heavier than 127.9 g/m2, 34.0 lb
• Paper lighter than 35 g/m2, 9.3 lb
• Roughly-cut paper
• Paper of different thickness in the same stack
• Buckled or curled paper
• Low stiffness paper
Correct curls in the paper before setting it in the machine. When you cannot cor-
rect the paper curl, stack the paper with the curl face down. Otherwise the paper
might wrap around the drum or stains might appear.
Store paper where it will not curl or absorb moisture. Use paper soon after it is
unpacked.
Only use paper where the leading edge has two right angle corners, as shown
below.

Standard Printing
-Printing
In this manual, the word, “printing”
is used as opposed to “copying” in or-
der to distinguish between the pro-
cess that your machine uses to make
prints, and the process used by a stan-
dard copier machine.
A standard copier scans in the origi-
nal for each copy set made. This ma-
chine, however, scans in your original
once and makes multiple prints from
this master.
This chapter describes the basic print-
ing operations that your machine is
capable of.
APlace the original face down in
the document feeder. Adjust the
original side guides to match the
size of the original.
Note
❒You can only place one original
at a time.
BPress the {Master Making}key.
A trial print is delivered to the pa-
per delivery tray.
CPress the {Proof}key and check
the image density and image po-
sition on the proof print.
Note
❒If the image position is not cor-
rect, adjust it using the {Image
Position}keys. See p.18 “Adjust-
ing the Print Image Position”.
❒If the image density is too dark
or too light, adjust the image
density using the {Image Densi-
ty}key. See p.20 “Adjusting the
Print Image Density”.
