REMARKS

106

• If the machine is not used for a long period, the image density might decrease

because the ink on the drum might dry. Make extra prints until the image
density recovers.

• When the machine is used in low temperature conditions, the image density

might decrease. In this case, slow the printing speed down to step 1 or 2.

• When making duplex prints, misdetection of paper wrapping might occur if

the paper delivery sensor detects a black area at the leading edge of the back
side. Keep at least an 5 mm, 0.2" margin at the leading edge of the back side
of the printing paper.

• Press the 

{Proof} key to perform a test print as the first few prints might be

light.

• The top sheet might remain between the feed rollers when you press the 

{Pa-

} key. In this case, remove the top sheet.

• When making duplex prints or when using non-white printing paper, the pa-

per end sensor might malfunction and fail to detect the paper. In this case,
place a blank sheet under the printing paper on the paper feed table.

• The outer portion of the image might not be printed under low temperature.

In this case, slow the printing speed down to step 1 or 2, or increase the room
temperature.

• The paper exit pawl might contact the printing paper and cause black lines on

the prints. In this case, increase the printing speed or make a new master with
lighter image density mode.

• If you cannot pull out the drum, close the front cover again to rotate the drum.

Pull out the drum after it stopped at the position. 

• The leading edge of the prints might become stained if the edge touches the

image of prints on the paper delivery table.

• The ink of the print on the paper delivery table might stick to the back side of

the next print.

• When the machine is on and the power source is less than 90 % of the speci-

fied amount, printing quality will decrease. Therefore, make sure the supply
from your electrical outlet is at least 90 % of the required amount.

• As various kinds and qualities of paper exist, some paper might be wrapped

around the drum or cause misfeeds.

• If your hands are stained with ink:

• Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
• Cleanse skin thoroughly after contact, before breaks and meals, and at the

end of the work period.

• Ink is readily removed from skin by waterless hand cleaners followed by

washing with soap and water.

• Also, be careful not to get any ink on your clothing while emptying the master

eject box or while loading a new ink cartridge.
