Safety During Operation

In this manual, the following important symbols are used:

Warning: Ignoring this warning could cause serious injury or even death.

Caution: Ignoring this caution could cause injury or damage to property.

Warning

• Check the voltage and frequency for this unit on the label to the right of the power switch

• Ensure that the total current of the unit and other equipment connected to the same circuit does not

exceed the power supply capacity or the specified current of an extension cord (if used). If the

specified current or power supply capacity is exceeded, fire hazard may result.

• Do not scratch, damage, or remodel the power cord.

• Do not place heavy objects on the AC power cord, nor pull or bend it. These actions will damage

the AC power cord, leading to fire or electric hazard.

• Do not wind up the AC power cord even if it is too long, as this will lead to poor heat emission

and a fire hazard.

• Do not touch the plug of the AC power cord with wet hands, as this will result in an electric

hazard.

• Disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet by pulling the plug, not the cord. Pulling the

cord will damage the AC power cord, leading to fire or electrical hazard.

• If the plug or cord of the AC power cord becomes abnormally hot, first turn off the power switch

then disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Contact you dealer. If the unit continues

to be used in this state, fire or electrical hazard may result.

• When not using the unit for a long period of time because of vacations, etc., be sure to disconnect

the AC power cord from the wall outlet. A malfunction may cause a power leakage, leading to a

fire hazard.

• Remove dust on the prongs of the AC power cord and the surface from which the prongs extend

with a dry cloth. Accumulated dust may cause a fire hazard.

• If the unit becomes abnormally hot, emitting smoke or an abnormal smell, etc., first turn off the

power switch and disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Contact your dealer

immediately. If the unit is used in this state, fire or electrical hazard may result.

• Do not position the unit and its AC power cord near heating equipment or the vents of heaters; the

covers and cord coating may melt, causing fire or electrical hazard.

• Do not position the unit where the AC power cord may be stepped on; the AC power cord may

become damaged, causing a fire or electrical hazard.

• Do not remove covers or rear panels. The inside of the unit contains high-voltage and mechanism-

driving parts with a danger of electrical hazard or injury.

• Do not remodel the unit, as this may lead to fire or electrical hazard, resulting in injury.

• Before cleaning the unit, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet; accidental

starting of the unit during cleaning may cause injury.

• Do no use flammable sprays inside or near the unit (e.g. when cleaning the unit). Such flammable

gas can be ignited and cause a fire or combustion.

3

Caution

• Do not install the unit in an environment other than that recommended, to avoid the risk of rust

and malfunction, leading power leakage, fire hazard, or electrical hazard. The recommended

environment is a follows:

• Do not install the unit in a very dusty environment, as this may lead to malfunction

• Do not lift or tilt the unit, as it may topple over and cause injury.

• Do not install the unit in a location subject to vibration, as it may move or overturn, causing

injury.

• Do no locate the unit in direct sunlight.

• Do not place the unit on a unstable table or in a tilted position as it may fall, causing injury.

• When the unit is to remain unused for a long period of time, disconnect the AC power cord from

the wall outlet to avoid electrical hazard from insulation failure, and fire hazard from power

leakage.

• Do not use the unit in a exposed location or splashing water droplets or where power leakage is

liable to occur, as this may result in electrical hazard.

2. Select the paper size

- The default settings are as follows: A4 size for 220 to 240 V AC, 50 HZ unit, Letter size

for 120V AC, 60 Hz unit.

- Either A4 or letter size may be selected. See “selecting paper size” on page 12.

3. Stack the paper on feed bins

Please read “precautions when stacking the papers” on page 14.

- Press in the direction of the arrow all the feed bins are used.

- Put the last page to be collated on the bottom bin with the printed surface of the paper

upward and the top edge of the paper forward, as deep in the in as it will go.

- Stack the other pages (up to ) in the same way on the other bins in numerical order,

skipping no bins.

- Press each feed bin to the left until its paper guide rests lightly against the paper

4. Press the Staple button to select either staple or non-staple (offset) mode.

- When the staple mode is selected

9

- The staple mark appears in the display. The collated sets of paper will be stapled (not

offset).

- When the non-staple (offset) mode is selected

- The staple mark is not shown in the display.

- The collated sets of paper will be offset (staggered) to the left and right alternatively.

5. When the staple mode is selected in step 4:

- When the non-staple (offset) mode is selected in step 4:

6. Press the C mark on the dial (C button) to clear the counter to 0.

- If the counter in the display already shows 0, this step can be skipped.

7. Press the start/stop button to start the test operation

- One set of the paper will be processed and the unit will stop.

- Check the collated set of paper to ascertain:

That the paper is correctly sequenced on the bins; if it is not, check step 3 and

That in the staple mode, the sheets of paper in the set are aligned properly; if they are not,

follow steps for “adjusting paper alignment” on page 13.

10

- The first 5 to 10 sets of paper collated after the installation of the cartridge will not be

stapled. Repeat this step until the collated sets of paper are stapled.

- If any error occurs, the unit will stop automatically. Refer to “checking error messages in

After rectifying the error, press the start/stop button.

- With the test operation, the unit detects which bins contain paper. Only the detected bins

will operate after this test operation.

8. Turn the dial to set the number of sets (from 1 to 999)

- The speed at which the dial is turned corresponds to the speed at which the number

changes in the display.

- The number in the display will increase sequentially. After reaching 999, the number

will return to 0.

- The decrease the number, turn the dial counterclockwise. After reaching 0, the number

will jump to 999.

9. Press the start/stop button to start collating

- The collated sets of paper will be discharged onto the paper receiver tray.

- The number of discharged sets will be subtracted from the counter.

- The unit will automatically stop:

a. When the counter has reached 0 (the counter will then display the number set

in step 8).

b. When one or more bins contain no paper (to restart operation, reload the feed

bins as in step 3, then press the start/stop button), or

c. If any error has occurred (refer to “checking error messages in the display” on

page 15. After rectifying the error, press the start/stop button).

d. To stop collating during operation:

Press any button. To restart operation, press the start/stop button again.

e. To start collation of the same number of pages as the previous operation

1. The test operation can be skipped because the data detected in step 7

remains in memory as long as the power remains in memory as long as

the power remains on. Just execute steps 3, 8, and 9. To change the

staple or non-staple mode, execute 3, 4, 8, and 9.

2. Note – The test operation must not be omitted for the collation of a

different number of pages from the previous operation, or if the power

has been switched off.

f. Turning off the unit

Press the 0 sided of the power switch. The same mode (staple or non-staple

mode) will be restored when the unit is turned on again.

Adjusting paper alignment

This procedure is necessary in the following situations:

- When the stapled set of the paper is not properly aligned, or

- When “memory error” appears in the display, requiring the memory to be initialized.

(See page 20).

13

a. To adjust paper alignment

- Select a setting between “0” and “4”. First, select “1” as the adjustment value. (“0” is the

default and standard setting.)

- The degree of adjustment becomes larger as the setting number increases.

b. To rectify “memory error”

- Select “format data.”

- All the data for “timing adjust” in the memory will be initialized. (The adjustment value

for paper alignment will also become “0”.)

14

7. Press the start/stop button.

a. When adjusting paper alignment

- Check the collated set of paper. If further adjustment is necessary, repeat the steps from

the beginning, selecting another number in step 4.

b. When rectifying “memory error”

- If the same error message appears again, please consult your nearest dealer.

Precautions when stacking the papers

• About the feed bin capacity

Do not stack more than 100 sheets of paper on each feed bin

• About the paper receiver tray capacity

If the collated sets have reached the maximum capacity of the tray, the unit will stop operating

automatically, and “stack over” appears in the display. Remove all the sets on the paper receiver

tray. (See page 18).

Note – When making sets consisting of 2 or 3 sheets of paper, 100 sets will be maximum capacity.

In such a case, the message, “stack over” may not appear. To prevent this situation, please be sure

to remove all the sets on the paper receiver tray at the same time you reload the feed bins.

• Fan the sheets of paper before stacking on the feed bin.

Sheets of paper not well separated may cause miss feeding or double feeding.

Smooth out folded or curled paper before use.

• Align the paper before stacking it on the feed bin

Insert the paper into the feed inlet until it lightly touches the guide face of the inlet.

15

Miss feeding or double feeding may occur if the paper is not aligned.

• Check that the ink of the printed material is dry.

Use only after the ink on the paper has dried completely.

Semi-dried ink will not only mesh the machine, but also causes miss feeding problems

Stacking error messages in the display

If there are any problems starting operation or during operation, first check the messages

appearing in the display. Long messages will be scrolled in the display. The messages

and how to deal with them are described below. For problems not covered here, and

Number (1 to 8) bin Empty / Miss Feed

The named (feed) bin doesn’t have any paper or has miss fed.

- If this has occurred to more than one bin, the display shows all the empty or miss feed

bins.

- Check the named bin and supply of paper in the bin

a. If the checked bin still has paper, miss feeding is the reason for the message.

In such a case, remove all the sheets of paper, then fan, align, and reload them

on the tray before restarting the operation

b. Notes – If in the non-staple (offset) mode, remove all the sets on the paper

receiver tray before you restart operation. This is because the last collated set

before the error has occurred may not be offset to the initial set after

restarting.

Number (1 to 8) bin jam / Staple Jam / Outlet Jam

A sheet of paper is stuck in the named (feed) bin. Or a set of paper is stuck in the stapler or

discharging outlet (paper ejecting) area.
