Printing needs may vary. To suit your application, you can adjust certain functions. Functions that can be adjusted are as follows:
the setting for
Minimum print quantity setting (SP # 10)

Specifies the minimum number of prints (O to 9999) that can be input with the Number keys. Example: If you specify
20 as the minimum
number
of prints,
runs of 20 or more copies will be accepted, runs of less than 20 copies will not be accepted.
2.
Maximum print quantity setting (# 11)

Fixed magnification ratio adjustment (#12 to # 19)

Adjusts any of the 8 fixed magnification ratios. The new fixed magnification ratio is displayed on the guidance display by pressing the Reduce/Enlarge key on the control panel.

5.
Optional key counter adjustment (# 21)

The key counter (option) usually counts the number of copies made regardless of the number of masters used. For accounting purposes, it is possible for the key counter to be incremented by a value between O and 50 whenever a new master is used.
Example:
The key counter is adjusted to increase by 20 for each master fed. If 100 copies have been made and the master is replaced, the key counter will increase by 120.

7. Make-up mode background pattern selection (# 46)

This function can be used only when you have the optional Make-up function, Specifies the default make-up mode background pattern that is selected when the Make-up key is pressed.
8. Skip paper feed setting (# 82)

If you find the back of prints are dirty, you can increase the time between two prints. This gives you the chance to remove prints one by one from the paper delivery table or insert one sheet of paper between two prints. With the default setting, one sheet of paper is fed while the drum rotates once. However, you can change the setting so that one sheet of paper is fed each time the drum rotates two to five times. If you set the drum to rotate two or five times each time one sheet of paper is fed, you can use 590 mm, 23.2, or shorter paper. The maximum length of paper is 447 mm, 17.5. If you use paper longer than 447 mm, 17.5, completed prints will not be delivered to the paper delivery table properly, so receive them by hands.

If there is no margin or if there is a solid image area near the leading edge of the original, make at least an 8 mm, 0.32, margin at the leading edge; otherwise, the paper might wrap around the drum or the paper exit pawl might become ditty and cause black lines on prints. When the paper is curled, stack the paper with the curl face down, othetwise the paper might wrap around the drum or stains may appear.

If the image registration is not consistent, slow the printing speed down to step lor2. The leading edge of the prints might become stained if the edge touches the image of pfints on the paper delivery table. When performing duplex or multicolored printing, leave the printed paper for a while before the next printing in order to let the ink dry on the printed paper, If this is not done, feed roller marks will appear on the print image. If the machine is not used for a long period, the image density might decrease if 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. The ink of the print on the paper delivery table might stick to the back side of the next print. making duplex prints, misdetection of paper wrapping may occur if the paper delivery sensor detects a black area at the leading edge of the back side. Keep at least an 8 mm, 0.32 margin at the leading edge of the back side of the printing paper.

Therefore, make sure the supply from your electrical outlet is at least 90?40of the required amount. 13. Postcards and the like do not absorb ink well. Offset images might appear on the rear side of subsequent prints. Solid image originals will cause offset image prints. 14. As various kinds and qualities of paper exist, some paper might be wrapped around the drum or cause misfeeds. 15. If your hands are stained with ink:
q
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. 16. When making duplex prints or when using non-white printing paper, the paper size detection sensors might malfunction and some part of the image might not appear on the print. In this case, place a blank sheet under the printing paper on the paper feed table. 17. When making duplex prints or when using non-white printing paper, the paper 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. In 18. The outer portion of the image might not be printed under low temperature. this case, slow the printing speed down to step 1 or 2, or increase the room temperature. 19. When printing a large solid area on A3, 11 x 17 paper, the sides of the print tend to curl up after the print is fed out to the paper delivery table. The next sheet that feeds out pushes against the curled sheet and a paper misfeed occurs. In this case, slow the printing speed down (1 or 2 steps).

OPERATION NOTES
20. The paper exit pawl might contact the printing paper and cause black lines on the Prints. [n this case, increase the printing speed or make a new master with -. Iighter image density mode. 21. The image density varies according to the printing speed and the room temperature. So, adjust the printing speed or increase the room temperature. 22. When you make a lot of prints from a small image, ink may ooze out from the edges of the master, especially under high temperature and when printing in two or more colors. In this case, make a new master. 23. Use ink made within one year. Ink stored for a long period tends to dry slowly and yield lower image density. 24. If you use originals that, have bold letters or solid images at the leading edges, you might get prints with dirty edges. In this case, insert the widest margin first, or raise the printing speed. # ~ z Q
