Poor Printing
Dirt on the Back Side of Paper

Note
□ When you use paper smaller than the original, select the proper reduction ratio. Otherwise, you might get dirty background prints.
□ When you use postcards and the like, the background might be dirty because postcards do not absorb ink well.
□ You might get prints with dirty background when printing at low speed and under high temperature.

Operation Notes
General Cautions
- While printing, do not turn off the main switch.
While printing, do not open the door or covers.
While printing, do not unplug the power cord.
While printing, do not move the machine. - Keep corrosive liquids, such as acid, off the machine.
- Open and close the door and covers softly.
- Do not put anything except originals on the machine.
- Do not spill liquid on the machine.
- When opening or closing the door or covers, keep hold of them so they do not fall.
- When removing the drum unit from the machine, be careful not to let the drum unit fall.
- Do not modify or replace any parts other than the ones specified in this manual.
- Do not operate the machine without covers. You might get your fingers caught in the machine, or the machine might be damaged because, for example, dust or the like might get inside.
- Since some parts of the machine are sharp and might cause injury, touch only the parts specified in this manual.
- If you clean rubber parts with alcohol, wipe them with a dry cloth afterwards.
- Always turn the machine off when you have finished printing for the day.
- If the machine must be transported by vehicle, please contact your service representative.
- Always make trial prints to check the image position because the image position of the trial print might not correspond with that of the original.
- If image registration is not consistent, slow down the printing speed.
- When doing bicoloured or multicoloured 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 has not been used for a long period, the ink may dry up causing image density to decrease. In such a case, select the slower printing speed and 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, select the slower printing speed.
-
Press the [Proof] key to perform a test print as the first few prints might be light.
-
The outer portion of the image might not be printed under low temperature. In this case, either select the slower printing speed, or increase the room temperature.
- The paper exit pawl might come in contact with the printing paper and cause black lines on the prints. In this case, increase the printing speed or make a new master with a lighter image density.
- 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 tray.
- The ink of the print on the paper delivery tray 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 specified 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.
- Cleansse skin thoroughly after contact, before breaks and meals, and at the end of the work period.
-
Ink is readily removed from skin with 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.
- The image density varies according to the printing speed and the room temperature. To achieve the desired image density, adjust the printing speed or increase the room temperature.
- When you make a lot of prints from a small image, ink might ooze out from the edges of the master, especially under high temperature and when printing in two or more colours. In this case, make a new master.
- Use ink made within one year. Ink stored for a long period of time tends to dry up gradually and result in lower image density.
- While making a master, do not leave the document feeder cover open.
- When you use originals with light lettering, edges of the letters might be printed clearly and the inside of the letters might be light. In this case, increase the image density.
- When marks on the printing paper occur, clean the paper feed roller. See p.74 "Paper Feed Roller (paper feed tray)".
- If you make a print before the ink on the first print dries, the ink may adhere to the paper feed roller and soil the print. Before printing on the reverse side of a printed sheet or overprinting on a printed sheet, be sure that the ink on the first print is adequately dry. See p.74 "Paper Feed Roller (paper feed tray)".
Print Paper
- When the paper is curled, stack the paper with the curl face down, otherwise the paper might wrap around the drum or stains might appear.
- 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.
Originals
- If there is no margin or if there is a solid image area near the leading edge of the original, make at least a 5 ~mm, 0.2" , margin at the leading edge; otherwise, the paper might wrap around the drum or the paper exit pawl might become dirty and cause black lines on prints.
- 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 increase the printing speed.
Where to Put Your Machine
Your machine's location should be carefully chosen because environmental conditions greatly affect its performance.
