Before Starting to Use Safety Guide - Installation This section describes the precautions to be observed when installing the machine. Read this section before installing the machine. Note: • Your dealer will help you to determine a proper location for the machine at the time of delivery. Installation AWARNING: • Place the machine on the dedicated stand for this model or on a flat and stable surface (maximum of 3/8 inches (10 mm) differential allowed). Injury might occur if the machine falls.
Before Starting to Use Power connection AWARNING: • Do not overload the electrical outlet or extension cord, or damage the electric cord by placing heavy objects on it or pulling or bending it. This can result in fire or electric shock. • Do not pull the electric cord but hold the plug itself when unplugging it. This can damage the cord and result in fire or electric shock. • Do not plug or unplug the electric cord if your hands are wet. This can result in electric shock.
Before Starting to Use Connection with a Computer (Option) With an optional interface board (Printer Control Board RISORINC3N) installed, you can directly send data from a connected computer to the machine as an original for printing. Because digital data itself is used for making a master, the finish of prints becomes outstanding. Important!: • Before making the connections, turn off both the machine and computer. • The maximum allowable voltage for parallel connector input and output is 5 V.
Before Starting to Use Paper Recommendations Size and Weight Restrictions The table shows the specifications of the usable print paper.
Before Starting to Use 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 “NORMAL”. Then set the Paper Jumping 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.
Before Starting to Use Originals Size and Weight Restrictions Usable originals are as follows.

Entering an inappropriate parameter does not affect usual operations but may result in bad print quality.
Troubleshooting Use the following procedure to enter necessary information. 1 Enter a parameter using the Print Quantity keys. 2 Press the key to complete the setting. If the next H No. appears, repeat steps 1 and 2. The parameters that can be entered differ among the consumables.

Or set the Ink Cartridge again. )p.66 Set a master roll so that the mark comes to the left, and set the Master Making Unit. )p.68 The Ink Cartridge does not contain ink information.
Troubleshooting Problem 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. Custom-size book or magazine was placed as an original. Place a book or magazine on the Stage Glass so that its binding section comes to the center 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).
Troubleshooting Problem The edges of printed copies are smudged with ink. 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.

Check the printed copies, and if the top margin is less than 3/16"(5 mm), slightly lower the print position. Because sunlight was projected to the machine, the sensor did not function correctly. Use a curtain for example to shut out sunlight or move the machine to a place free from direct sunlight.
