Operation Notes
191
5
• 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, in-
crease the image density.
• When you use originals of fine letters, letters on prints might be skipped. In
this case, increase the image density or use Letter mode.
• Up to 1,000 sheets of paper can be delivered to the paper delivery tray. How-
ever, if 500 or more sheets of paper are delivered to the paper delivery tray,
the leading edge of the prints might become stained.
• When you use envelope or pasted print paper, the leading edge of print might
be damaged.
• When the machine is used in low temperature conditions, the printing area
might become small.
Print Paper
• When you use non-standard paper, some parts of the image might not appear
on the print. In this case, set the machine not to detect paper size with the user
tools. See “Ignore Paper Size” in
⇒
P.139 “4. Mode Setting”.
• 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 im-
age 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 10 mm, 0.4", margin at the leading edge; other-
wise, the paper might wrap around the drum or the paper exit pawl might be-
come 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 raise the printing speed.
Misfed Paper
• When printing a large solid area on A3, 11"
×
17" paper, the sides of the print
tend to curl up after the print is fed out to the paper delivery tray. The next
sheet that feeds out pushes against the curled sheet and a paper misfeed oc-
curs. In this case, slow the printing speed down (setting 1 or 2).
