Precautions on the Handling of the Machine
●Do not open the Screen Making Unit Cover or move
the machine during operation.
●Gently open or close the Screen Making Unit Cover
and the Imaged Screen Tray.
●Do not place heavy objectson the machine. The
objectsmight fall and cause injury.
●Thismachine hasprecision partsand driving mecha-
nism. Do not handle the machine in other way than
described in thisguide.
Storing the Screen Master
●Properly store the screen master. Avoid storing it in
the following places.
• Locationswith exposure to direct sun-
light and bright locationssuch asthat
close to windows(if such locationsare
unavoidable, shield windowswith cur-
tainsor the like)
• Locationssubject to sudden temperature changes
• Hot and humid locationsor cold and dry locations
How to Produce an Imaged Screen from
Original Data other than of Standard Size
To specify an original size other than the standard size,
be sure to register the original size other than the stan-
dard size set for the dedicated printer driver in advance.
"Registering Original Size" on page 72
The Image Area
The relationship between the direction of the original data
created on the computer and the direction of the original
data transferred onto a screen isasfollows.
Precautions on Use
Do not turn off the POWER or disconnect the
power plug during operation.
For screen making, a Screen Master with the
same length as the used frame is used.
The original data is to be placed in the center of the
frame used regardless of the size when it was created.

Image Area
• Minimum Image Area: 0.39" (width) ×0.39" (length)/
10 mm (width) ×10 mm (length)
•
Maximum Image Area : 11.69" (width) ×31.50" (length)/
297 mm (width) × 800 mm (length)
If the size of the original data exceedsthe maximum width
11.69" / 297 mm of the image area, any part outside the
image area will not be transferred to the screen.
The Margin Size Required for
Screen Making
Since the original data isto be placed in the center of the frame
used when an imaged screen isproduced, marginsare left on
the Top and End sidesof the original data. Marginsare required
on both the Top and End sidesasspacesfor attaching the
imaged screen to the frame and apply inks.
The margin size isautomatically calculated based on the size
or length of the frame used and the size of the original data.
The size of the margin required for each frame type isasindicated in the table below.
The frame used can be selected using the <FRAME SELECT> Key on the Control
Panel.
If the margin size isinsufficient during screen making, an <LENGTH> error occurs
and an imaged screen cannot be produced.

When Making a Screen from a Landscape-oriented Origi-
nal:
Pay attention to the size of the original data. Any part outside
the image area will not be transferred onto the screen. If the
left or right end of the original isoutside the image area, take
the following action.
• Perform "Original size entry" of the printer driver to register
an original size with the length and width of the original
interchanged in advance.
"Registering Original Size" on page 72
• Rotate the original by 90°using a function of the application
software before making a screen.
