OVERVIEW
The DC-645 was created to produce high-quality, customized products; greeting cards, postcards, brochures,
business cards, and resized photographs. It does this by combining a number of devices that set up automati-
cally to slit, cut, and crease a sheet of paper into the desired format with no operator intervention.
Initially, the DC-645 is manually programmed with the required positions of the slits, cuts and creases and the
values are stored in a memory for future recall. A CCD sensor reads the job number encoded in a barcode on
the unfinished sheet. Then, the DC-645 recalls the values from memory, sets up the slitter positions, activates
the cutter for lead, trail, and any intermediate cuts and any required creases.
In addition, when a small 90-degree angle register mark has been printed adjacent to the barcode, the position
is measured against the intended position stored in the job memory. As this mark is part of the original image,
any error in its location can be compared with the stored value and used to correct the setup positions of the
devices by applying a horizontal offset to the cut and crease positions, and a vertical offset to the slit positions
to maintain precise finishing every time.

Notes on Safety (Please Read and Observe)
Safety Precautions
Various symbols and pictures are used in this manual and on the stickers affixed to the machine. These symbols and
pictures provide warnings and instructions to prevent danger to you or other personnel, and to prevent damage to office
property. The meanings of these symbols and pictures are explained below.
WARNING
Indicates a high degree of potential danger. If the warning is ignored, death or serious
injury may result.
CAUTION
Indicates a medium degree of potential danger. If the caution is ignored, medium injury or
damage to property may result.
[Examples of Pictorial Symbols]
A circle with a line through it indicates a prohibited action. The particular act prohib-
ited is indicated by a picture inside the circle. (In the example shown here, the prohibited
act is disassembly.)
A black disc indicates an instruction, or sometimes a prohibited action. The
instruction itself is indicated by pictorial symbols drawn in white on the disc. (In the
example shown here, the instruction is “Remove the plug from the outlet.”)
These are particularly important safety points and should always be observed.
WARNING
If the machine is used after foreign matter (metal fragments, water, or liquid) has entered the
machine, this may result in fire or electric shock.
Turn the main unit’s power switch OFF, and then remove the power plug from the outlet.
Contact the sales distributor.
If the machine is used after heat, smoke, strange smell, or other abnormality is detected, this may
result in fire or electric shock.
Turn the main unit’s power switch OFF, and then remove the power plug from the outlet.
Contact the sales distributor.
Do not insert or drop metal, flammable material, or other matter through the ventilation holes into
the machine interior.
Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not place flower vases, flowerpots, cups, or water containers (including metal containers) on top
of the machine.
Fire or electric shock may result if liquid spills inside the machine.
