About This Guide
Prefaces
Thank you for purchasing the VALEZUS T2100.
The system, which consists of two print units, a coupling unit, and dedicated paper feed/stack units, is

Safety Precautions
This section describes the items that should be followed for safe use of this system. Be sure to read this
section before using the system.
To use the system properly and to prevent human injury and damage to properties, the following warning
symbols are used. Read the meaning of the symbols to understand and then read this guide.
Examples of symbols
Warning Symbols
WARNING Indicates that incorrect handling by ignoring this symbol may cause death or
serious human injury.
CAUTION Indicates that incorrect handling by ignoring this symbol may cause human
injury or damage to properties.
The symbol indicates a prohibited action. A specific prohibited action is drawn inside or
next to the symbol. (The figure on the left indicates that disassembly is prohibited.)
The symbol indicates a forced action or an instruction.
A specific instruction is drawn inside the symbol. (The left figure indicates an instruction to
remove the power plug from the electrical outlet.)
■In addition to the JOINT UNIT, printers and
dedicated equipment connected to the printers
also have power plugs.
CAUTION
■Place the system on a flat or stable surface.
Otherwise, the system may tilt or collapse and
cause human injury.
■Do not place the system in a dusty or humid
location. Otherwise, a fire or an electric shock
might occur.

Safety Precautions
VALEZUS T2100 User’s Guide
WARNING
■Confirm the specification of the system's
power source and use the power source with
sufficient margin. Otherwise, a fire or an
electric shock might occur.
■The power consumption of the system
may get high. Make sure to take power
supply from multiple places instead of
from one place. If an extension cord is
absolutely required, do not use longer than 5m
(15ft).
Otherwise, a fire or an electric shock might
occur.
■Do not damage or rebuild the power
cord. Placing a heavy object on the cord
or pulling or forcibly bending the cord
may damage the cord, resulting in a fire or an
electric shock.
■Do not plug or unplug the power cord if your
hands are wet. Otherwise, an electric shock
might occur.
CAUTION
■Connect the plug securely to the optional
connection outlet on the printer main unit to
avoid a loose connection.
■Do not pull the power cord when unplugging it.
Otherwise, it could become damaged and a fire
or an electric shock might occur. Be sure to
hold on to the plug when unplugging the power
cord.
■If the system will not be used for a long time,
such as during a holiday, unplug the power
cord from the electrical outlet for safety.
■Remove the power plug from the electrical
socket at least once a year and clean the
prongs of the plug and their surroundings.
Dust collected on these areas can result in fire.
WARNING
■Be sure to insert the power plug with a
ground conductor into the wall outlet
with a ground receptacle.
Do not use the system if it is not grounded.
It may result in fire or electric shock.

WARNING
■Do not place water containers or metallic
objects on the system. If water drips inside the
system or a metallic object drops inside it, a
fire or an electric shock might occur.
■Do not remove the covers. Otherwise,
you might be electrically shocked by
the high-voltage part inside.
■Do not disassemble or rebuild the system by
yourself. Otherwise, a fire or an electric shock
might occur.
■Do not insert or drop any metallic material or
flammable substances into the system through
any opening. Otherwise, a fire or an electric
shock might occur.
■If something falls inside the system,
immediately hold down the [Power] key
on the operation panel to turn off the
operating power, and then turn off the main
power switches of both printers. Next, unplug
all of the power cords and contact your dealer
or authorized service representative.
Continued use might result in a fire or an
electric shock.
■In the unlikely event that the system
continues to be used while emitting
excessive heat, smoke, or a foul odor, a
fire or an electric shock might occur.
Immediately hold down the [Power] key on the
operation panel to turn off the operating power,
and then turn off the main power switches of
both printers. Next, be sure to unplug all of the
power cords and contact your dealer or
authorized service representative.
CAUTION
■Be careful of protruding parts and metal
terminals when inserting the hand inside the
JOINT UNIT and dedicated equipment such as
removing jammed paper. Otherwise, an injury
might occur.
■The inside of the system may have areas with
ink. Be careful not to let the ink come in
contact with your hands or clothing.
Should ink accidentally make contact with your
hands, wash it off with detergent as soon as
possible.
■When moving the system, contact your dealer
or authorized service representative.
If you try to forcibly move the system, the
machines may overturn, resulting in injury.
■
When using the Double Tray Feeder
C aution! A Finger is caught.
Do not put your fingers in the opening in the main
body of the Double Tray Feeder.
Doing so may result in your fingers being caught
while the Double Tray Feeder moves.
Caution! Hot surface
Since the parts near the high temperature caution
label may be heated and cause burns, do not touch
the parts directly with your fingers.

What You Can Do with the System
•High-speed creation of the transaction is possible by adopting the Print Controller that supports transaction
printing.
•Print data from PC or server via Print Controller is sent to the Printer 1 and Printer 2 respectively and
performs synchronized print operation.
•For print jobs under the same condition, continuous output is possible without performing initial operation of
the next job (continuous job operation).1
•The data can be received and printed on a page basis (page unlimited print job). This allows you to print
without worrying about hard disk capacity.
1Normally, continuous jobs can be performed when the following conditions are the same in each job.
Paper Size / Paper Tray / Paper Type / Print Density
Initial operation is required if the above conditions are not the same in each job.
When the file format of print data is AFP, PDF, or PS (PostScript®), print data can be processed as continuous jobs if
compressing multiple data into a ZIP file.
High-Speed Duplex Printing with
Two RISO Printers High-Volume Printing is Available at Once
Duplex Printing
High-speed duplex printing at a rate of 320 ipm is
possible by synchronizing the print job between
two printers.
High-Volume Printing
High-volume printing is possible by using two
RISO printers connected with the Double Tray
Feeder and Double Tray Stacker.
Continuous Jobs Get Faster Page Unlimited Print Job
Continuous Jobs
Continuous jobs can be performed as speedy as
performing the same job continuously. 1
Unlimited Printing
You can print without worrying about the hard disk
capacity since the data can be received and
printed on a page basis.

System Configuration
The Print Controller is required for the high-volume duplex printing with the system.
The Print Controller converts print data used in print workflow such as PS (Postscript) to RISORINC/C IV
data and controls the print job.

Print Controller
• Print Controller corresponds to AFP / IPDS* print workflow which is often used for transaction printing.
* Supported only on α stream "Pro"
• Be aware that you cannot make a copy with the system since it does not have the scan function.
• The power consumption of the system may get high. Make sure to take power supply from multiple places
instead of from one place.

VALEZUS T2100 User’s Guide
The RISORINC/C IV data sent from the Print Controller to Printer 1 and Printer 2 is synchronized between
the two printers. The front side of the paper is printed in Printer 1, the paper is flipped in JOINT UNIT, and
the back side of the paper is printed in Printer 2.

• You cannot change the paper size during a print job. When using different size of paper, take out the printed
papers from Double Tray Stacker and adjust the stacker fence.
• There are five color ink cartridges installed in each of the two printers. You cannot print if even one color out of
