Danger
Make sure that the machine is electrically grounded. This prevents an electric shock when
there is a leak of electricity.
Use the machine at 110 –120VAC, 220 –240VAC with a frequency of 50Hz to 60Hz.
Do not place any object on this machine. A fire may start or electricity may leak if water or a
foreign object enters inside the machine.
Handle the power cord with care. A fire may start or an electric shock may be caused if
the cord is damaged, broken, or processed, if a heavy object is placed on the cord, or if the
cord is bent forcibly.
Do not remove the cover of this machine. Otherwise, an electric shock or injury may be
caused.
Do not remodel this machine. Otherwise, a fire may break out or an electric shock may be
caused.
If the machine is used when it is in an abnormal condition, such as generating heat,
emitting smoke, and giving out a strange smell, a fire may break out or an electric shock
may be caused. Turn off the power switch immediately and then pull the Power plug out of
the electric outlet. Afterward, consult with your dealer.
If thunder approaches, pull the power cord out of the electric outlet to prevent a fire or
breakdown caused by the falling of a thunderbolt.
Caution
Do not let hairs, a necktie, or necklace hang above the drive of the machine. Doing so may
cause an injury.
Do not put the machine on an unstable place such as a shaky stand and a slant floor.
Doing so may cause the machine to drop or fall down, causing an injury.
Do not put the machine in a moist or dusty place. Doing so may start a fire or cause an
electric shock.
Be sure to pull the power plug out of the electric outlet first when moving this machine.
Otherwise, the cord may be damaged, causing a fire or an electric shock.

8. Cross Folding
Note:
Note：
Cross folding can be used if, for example,
the sheet of A3-size paper folded using the
double parallel folding method is still too
large to be enclosed in envelope.
The maximum weight of paper that can be
used for cross folding is 105g/m2.
This requirement, however, varies according
to the following conditions:
Paper type; Paper size; Whether grains run
lengthways or sideways; Temperature and
relative humidity; Printing condition
The folding position may be displaced to a
greater extent than when the paper is folded
using a regular fold method, or a corner of
the folded paper may be folded inside as
indicated in the figure.
These, however, do not mean that the
machine has broken down.
(1) Adjust the paper feed roller position, so
the three rollers feed paper together.
(2) Press the crease hard using the hand.
Do not stack too many sheets of paper on
the paper feed table.
