A black disc indicates an instruction, or sometimes a prohibited action. The instructionitself is indicated by pictorial symbols drawn in white on the disc. (In the example shownhere, the instruction is Remove the plug from the outlet.)

These are particularly important safety points and should always be observed.

WARNING

If the machine is used after foreign matter (metal fragments, water, or liquid) has entered themachine, this may result in fire or electric shock. Turn the main units power switch OFF, and then remove the power plug from the outlet. Contact

the sales distributor.

If the machine is used after heat, smoke, strange smell, or other abnormality is detected, this mayresult in fire or electric shock. Turn the main units power switch OFF, and then remove the power plug from the outlet. Contact

Notes on Safety (Please Read and Observe)

WARNING

Do not modify the machine. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

Do not remove the rear lid, cabinet, or covers from the machine. The inside of the machine contains high-voltage parts, which may cause electric shock.

Do not remove or insert the power plug with wet hands. Doing so may result in electric shock.

Do not damage, break, or modify the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on, tug, or unnecessarily bend the power cord. Doing so may result in

fire or electric shock.

Do not insert or drop metal, flammable material, or other matter through the ventilation holes intothe machine interior. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

Do not place flower vases, flowerpots, cups, or water containers (including metal containers) on topof the machine. Fire or electric shock may result if liquid spills inside the machine.

Do not use a source voltage other than that specified. Do not connect two or more loads to a singleoutlet. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

Do not place the machine in a humid or dusty area. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.


10


CAUTION

Before moving the machine, remove the power plug from the outlet. If the cord is damaged, this may result in fire or electric shock.

Remove the power plug itself, not the cord. Tugging the cord may damage it (expose conductors, or cause disconnections, etc.), resulting in

fire or electric shock.

Do not place the machine in an unstable position, such as on an unsteady support or sloping area. If the machine is dropped or falls over, this could result in personal injury.

Once the machine is in position, secure in place using the casters. If the machine falls over, this could result in personal injury.

How Platemaking and Printing is PerformedThe machine performs two processes: platemaking and printing.

PlatemakingIn the platemaking process, the old master on the drum is removed while the thermal head creates thescanned image on the new master and transfers it onto the drum.

PrintingIn the printing process, paper separated from the stack by the feeder roller and paper separator unit ispressed against the drum unit by the press roller. There are small holes over only the image area of the masterthat is attached to the drum, and ink that seeps from these holes is transferred to the paper. The paper is thenpeeled from the master by the paper stripper finger. The paper is directed onto the paper ejection belt by a fanunit and discharged from the machine.

IMPORTANT ADF mode is automatically selected when a document is loaded in the ADF. The ADF then

takes priority over the document glass plate in the platemaking process.

Align the document guide with the marks forthe size of document to be loaded in the ADF.

Place the document face-up in the documenttray.Platemaking starts with the top document in the tray.
