４.Paper Handling

● Flatten paper with folds or wrinkle or curls before using.

● Completely dry print ink on the paper before using.

CAUTION

Using paper with print ink not dried completely will stain fold roller and this will cause

trouble such as stain on the paper.

● Use paper cut precisely.

WARNING

If the squareness of the paper is not precisely, this will cause trouble such as

fold skew.

● Fully fan papers when right after copied or printed.

WARNING

Paper right after copied or printed contains

much static electricity.

If the papers are not fully fanned, this will

cause trouble such as double feed.

When the paper is set to the manual slot of the DC-SC1, please confirm the right side/other side

and leading edge/rear edge of the paper.

When confirming the finish after test fold, check fold skew and the right side/other side and leading

edge/rear edge of the paper.

[ Example] When the paper (right side: colored, other side: white) is folded by the fold mode

as below.

V-fold has 2 directions to be folded (1V-fold and 2V-fold). When 1V-fold is selected, the paper is

folded as shown above. When 2V-fold is selected, it is folded in reverse direction. (Refer to 1-1.

Fold type on page 28.)
