Note:

• Your dealer will help you to determine a proper location for the machine at the time of delivery.

Installation

A

WARNING:

• Place the machine on the dedicated stand for this model or on a flat and stable surface (maximum of 10 mm differential allowed). Injury might occur if the machine falls.

• Install the machine in a well-ventilated area. Failure to do so may result in serious health problems.

B

Caution:

• Install the machine near the wall socket to avoid using an extension cord between the machine and the wall socket.

If an extension cord is absolutely required, do not use one longer than 5 m.

• Allow at least 10 cm or more of clearance behind the machine so that you can unplug the machine in case of technical difficulties.

• Keep the machine away from dusty environments. Failure to do so may result in fire.

Important!:

• Avoid installing the machine in the locations listed below. Failure to observe this precaution may lead to machine failure.

– Locations with exposure to direct sunlight, such as locations close to windows (Curtain all windows that might expose the machine to direct sunlight)

– Locations that are subject to sudden changes in temperature

– Extremely hot and humid locations or cold and dry locations

– Heated locations

Important!:

• Even when using paper whose sizes and weight are supported by the machine, it may not pass through the machine depending on such factors as paper finish, ambient conditions, and storage conditions. Keep this in mind when using the machine. For more information, consult your dealer.

Do not use the following types of paper, as they can cause jams or misfeeds:

• Extremely thin paper (less than 46 g/m 2 )

• Extremely thick or heavy paper (greater than 210 g/m 2 for RZ3 series or greater than 157 g/m 2 for RZ2 series)

• Wrinkled, curled, folded, or torn paper

• Chemically treated or coated paper (such as thermal or carbon paper)

• Paper having a sticky section or holes (such as an envelope and label paper)

Note:

• Paper with a horizontal grain direction can cause problems with paper supply. Use paper with a vertical grain direction.

• Images are not output onto the entire area of usable print paper. The maximum printing areas differ among models. )p.18

Tips for Better Paper Feeding

To prevent paper jams and misfeeds, follow the directions below:

• When using standard or light-weight paper, set the Paper Feed Pressure Adjustment Lever to “ ”. Then set the

Paper Ejection Wing Adjustment Dial (for RZ2XX, unavailable) according to the paper size and open all four Paper

Arrangers (for RZ2XX, unavailable). For RZ2XX, set the corrugators. )p.19

• When using thick paper (such as card stock), set the Paper Feed Pressure Adjustment Lever and the Paper Ejection Wing Adjustment Dial to “ ”, and open the two inner Paper Arrangers. )p.19

• When using slippery paper, set the Paper Feed Pressure Adjustment Lever to “ ”. )p.19

• Slide the Feed Tray Paper Guides, Receiving Tray Paper Guides, and Paper Stopper to fit the paper size. )p.19

• Use flat printing paper that is free of folds. If curled paper is unavoidable, place the printing paper so that the curl faces down.

• Paper may stick to the drum surface if the top margin is too narrow on the original or if the upper portion of the original uses a large amount of ink. To solve this problem, lower the print position to provide a wider top margin or reverse the top and bottom of the original. Then restart printing from the beginning.

Storing Environment

Store printing paper in a level, dry area. Storing the paper in an excessively humid area can result in paper jams or poor print quality.

After unpacking printing paper, keep the remaining paper wrapped and store it in a moisture-proof box. It is highly recommended to put silica gel in the paper storage box.

Troubleshooting Tips


Troubleshooting

Problem

An error indication does not disappear even though consumables (ink, master roll) are set.

There is no image on copies.

Portion on copies is missing.

Cause

The consumables (ink, master roll) have not been correctly set.

The Ink Cartridge does not contain ink information.

The master roll does not contain master information.

The original is placed face up.

Action

After inserting the Ink Cartridge, turn it clockwise ( ) to lock. Or set the

Ink Cartridge again.

) p.68

Set a master roll so that the mark comes to the left, and set the

Master Making Unit.

) p.70

) p.68

Do not remove the section from the master core. If you did so, set a new master roll.

) p.70

Place the original face down. (This is also true for the ADF unit)

A foreign object may exist on the master.

Pull out the Print Drum and check if any object exists on the master.

If a foreign object exists between the master and the drum, remove the master. Then set the drum and perform the master-making operation again. )p.83

• The paper size placed on the

Paper Feed Tray was not the same as the size of the original at the time of the master-making process.

• The Feed Tray Paper Guides were not fit to the width of paper at the time of the master-making process.

A master is made according to the size of paper placed on the Paper

Feed Tray; namely the width of the

Feed Tray Paper Guides and the length of paper. If the size of paper placed on the tray is smaller than the size of the original, a master is not made for the entire original. Set the same size of paper on the tray as the original and perform the mastermaking operation.


93


Troubleshooting

Problem

In the Book shadow editing, the position for shadow erasure is shifted.

Custom-size book or magazine was placed as an original.

Place a book or magazine on the

Platen Glass so that its binding section comes to the centre of the paper size placed on the Paper Feed

Tray (or the size specified for the

Size of originals for Book shadow editing using the Custom Setting mode).

The size of the original differs from the Size of originals for Book shadow editing specified using the Custom

Setting mode.

Check the Size of originals for Book shadow editing specified in the

Custom Setting mode.

• With “0” selected

Place standard-size paper of the same size of the original onto the

Paper Feed Tray.

• With “1” through “4” selected

Set the Size of originals for Book shadow editing to the same size as the size of the original.

) p.59

Shadow erase processing in the

Book shadow editing does not erase the central shadow.

The width of the erased central shadow is too narrow.

Vertical blank lines are found on printed copies.

The Thermal Print Head has been smudged.

Using the Custom Setting mode, set the Width of central shadow for

Book shadow editing again.

) p.59

Open the Master Making Unit Cover and clean the Thermal Print Head.

) p.79

If this does not solve the problem, contact your authorized service representative.

The unwanted background of an original is picked up on copies.

Dirt is found on printed copies.

Cause Action

Custom-size paper has been placed on the Paper Feed Tray.

The Book shadow editing does not allow custom-size paper to be used.

Set standard-size paper.

If newspaper or coloured paper is used as an original, the background is picked up on copies.

Set the scanning level to “Auto” (for

RZ2XX, unavailable) or lower the level, and then perform the mastermaking operation again.

) p.37

The Platen Glass (and/or the ADF

Scanner Glass) is not clean.

ADF Scanner Glass). )p.79

94



Troubleshooting

Problem

The edges of printed copies are smudged with ink.

The back of printed copies is smudged with ink.

Printed images are faint.

Printed texts are blurred.

Cause Action

Larger size of paper than the original was placed on the Paper Feed Tray at the time of the master-making process.

Because a master was made according to a larger size than the original, the edges of the original were processed as shadows. Set the same size of paper as the original and perform the master-making operation again. Or attach tape as described below to solve the problem.

When printing thick paper such as cards, corners of the paper contacted and damaged the master.

Make another master and print with the new master. Or pull out the Print

Drum and attach cellophane tape to the damaged section on the master.

However, if attached with cellophane tape, a master may not been properly sent to the Master Disposal

Box.

The Pressure Roller has been stained with ink.

Remove the Print Drum and clean the Pressure Roller. )p.80

If the print position is outside the print paper, this may cause the Pressure

Roller to be stained with ink.

Be careful when changing the size of print paper or shifting the print position.

If the machine is not used for an extended period of time, ink on the surface of the Print Drum may dry.

This results in faint or blurred printing just after printing is started.

Press the key and make several copies before making copies to be actually used. Or use the Idling function.)p.55

Faint originals result in faint images. Increase the scanning level and perform the master-making operation again. )p.37

For originals written with a pencil, select the Pencil mode. )p.33

If the temperature is low (below

15 °C) in a place where the machine is installed or Ink Cartridges are stored, ink does not flow smoothly.

Use the machine after keeping it at room temperature for a while.

) p.12

The Ink Saving mode has been set.

With the Ink Saving mode selected, the ink on printed copies is fainter than usual.

The left and right print positions have been shifted.

The left and right print positions have not been adjusted for the centre.

The Paper Feed Tray is equipped with the Horizontal Print Position

Adjustment Dial. Lower the tray, adjust the position, and then perform proof copy to check the position.)p.46

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Action

Paper sticks to the surface of the

Print Drum.

(The indicator blinks frequently.)

The margin at the top of the original or print is too small.

The margin of the original (top of the print in the paper output direction) must be 5 mm at least. Lower the vertical print position. If this adjustment is impossible, reproduce an original with enough margin and perform the master-making operation again.

The print paper is inappropriate.

Use the recommended paper.

The original has a solid black portion at its top.

If an original has a solid black portion at the top, printed copies may not properly output. Replace the original in the reverse direction and restart the master-making process.

Printed and curled copies are output. The print paper is loaded at a horizontal grain direction.

Load print paper with a vertical grain direction.

Printed copies are not neatly aligned in the Paper Receiving Tray.

(The indicator blinks frequently.)

The positions of the Receiving Tray

Paper Guides and the Paper

Stopper are inappropriate.

Adjust the Receiving Tray Paper

Guides and the Paper Stopper to the size of paper. For thick paper, slightly widen them as necessary.

If you have adjusted the horizontal position on the Paper Feed Tray, shift the Receiving Tray Paper

Guides in the same direction.
