PinkGold-F_V4_FM.book Page 97 Tuesday, September 11, 2001 6:31 PM 6. Remarks 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.
PinkGold-F_V4_FM.book Page 98 Tuesday, September 11, 2001 6:31 PM Remarks • If the machine is not used for a long period, the image density might decrease because the ink on the drum might dry. 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, slow the printing speed down to step 1 or 2.
PinkGold-F_V4_FM.book Page 99 Tuesday, September 11, 2001 6:31 PM Operation Notes • 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 colors. In this case, make a new master. • Use ink made within one year. Ink stored for a long period tends to dry slowly and yield lower image density. • While making a master, do not leave the exposure glass cover or optional document feeder open.
PinkGold-F_V4_FM.book Page 100 Tuesday, September 11, 2001 6:31 PM Remarks • Under the following conditions, the machine might not detect the original on the exposure glass. If you press the {Start} } key again, the machine will start making a master anyway: • When you set a dark original on the exposure glass. • When the original is not centered according to the size marks on the right scale.
PinkGold-F_V4_FM.book Page 101 Tuesday, September 11, 2001 6:31 PM Where to Put the Machine Where to Put the Machine Your machine's location should be carefully chosen because environmental conditions greatly affect its performance.
