cially the metal plate parts). The sharp tip of the hook and the cut surface of the metal can hurt your hand.• The machine has precision parts and driving mechanism inside. Do not handle the machine in ways other than

those described in this guide.• Do not apply any shock to the machine.

Important!:• Do not unplug the power cord or turn off the power during operation.• Be sure to open and close all machine covers gently.



Safety Guide - Handling and Operation8

Consumables

Important!:• For ink and Master Roll, it is recommended to use the products specified by RISO.• Store the consumables such as paper, Master Roll and ink properly.

Do not store consumables in the following places:

– Locations that are subject to direct sunlight or bright locations that are close to windows (if there is no other choice, pull the curtains across the windows.)

– Locations that are subject to rapid changes in temperature– Extremely hot and humid locations or extremely cold and dry locations

Ink Handling

BCaution:• If ink gets into your eyes, flush it out immediately with plenty of water.• If ink comes into contact with your skin, wash it off thoroughly using soap.• Allow plenty of ventilation during printing.• If you feel unwell during use, seek medical advice.• Only use the ink for printing purposes.• Keep the ink out of the reach of children.



Connection with a Computer (Option) 9

Connection with a Computer (Option)With an optional interface card (RISO PC Interface Card USB 2.0) installed, you can directly send data from a con-nected computer to the machine as an original for printing. Because digital data itself is used for making a master, the finish of prints becomes outstanding.

Important!:• The maximum allowable voltage for USB 2.0 connector input and output is 5 V.• Use a commercially available USB cable (that conforms to the USB 2.0 standard / Length within 3m (10ft)).

USB cable



Paper Recommendations10

Paper RecommendationsSize and Weight RestrictionsThe table shows the specifications of usable print paper.

Important!:• Be sure to load printing paper larger than the images to be created. If printing paper is smaller than the images, the

inner rollers may be stained and it may result in smudges on the prints.• Be sure to confirm the maximum printing area and margins before printing ( p.12).• Even when using paper whose sizes and weights are supported by the machine, it may not pass through the

machine depending on such factors as paper finish, ambient conditions, and storage conditions. Keep this in mind when using the machine. For more information, consult your dealer.

Do not use the following types of paper, as they can cause jams or misfeeds:

• Extremely thin paper (less than 50 g/m2 (14-lb bond))• Extremely thick or heavy paper (greater than 128 g/m2 (34-lb bond))• Wrinkled, curled, folded, or torn papers• Chemically treated paper (such as thermal or carbon paper)• Paper coated on its face or back surface• Paper having a sticky section or holes (such as an envelop and label paper)

Note:• Paper with a horizontal grain direction can cause problems with paper feeding. Use paper with a vertical grain

direction.• Images are not output onto the entire area of usable print paper.

If paper with a size exceeding the limit of specifications is used, the paper feeding and print quality on such paper are not warranted.

Paper Recommendations 11

Tips for Better Paper FeedingTo prevent paper jams and misfeeds, follow the directions below:

• Set the Paper Feed Pressure Adjustment Lever to the position according to the thickness of the printing paper. ( p.20)Standard paper: Standard position 1 ( 1), Standard position 2 ( 2)Thin paper: Thin paper ( )Thick paper (such as card stock): Thick paper ( )

• Adjust the position of the Paper Jump Wing according to the size of the printing paper. ( p.22)• Always set the Feed Tray Paper Guide and the Receiving Tray Paper Guide according to the print paper

size.( p.20)• Use flat printing paper that is free of folds. If the use of curled paper is unavoidable, place the printing paper so that

the curl faces down.• Paper may stick to the Print Drum (Cylinder) surface if the top margin is too narrow on the original or if the upper

portion of the original uses a large amount of ink. To solve this problem, lower the print position to provide a wider top margin or reverse the top and bottom of the original. Restart master making and printing from the beginning when you rotate the original.

Storing EnvironmentStore printing paper in a level, dry area. Storing the paper in an excessively humid area can result in paper jams or poor print quality.After unpacking the printing paper, keep the remaining paper wrapped and store it in a moisture-proof box. It is highly recommended to put silica gel in the paper storage box.



Originals12

OriginalsSize and Weight RestrictionsUsable originals are as follows.

• The maximum printing area is 249 mm × 352 mm ( 8 3/16" × 13 17/32" ). If the original image size is larger than this limit, you need to reduce the original when making a master.

Note:• When printing the following kinds of originals, copy to paper of an available size.

– Patched or worn originals– Wrinkled, curled, folded, or torn originals– Transparent originals (such as tracing paper or OHP transparencies)– Chemically treated originals (such as thermal or carbon paper)– Originals with correction fluid or glue– Extremely thin originals (less than 50 g/m2 (14-lb bond))

• You cannot use the following originals on this machine.

– Multi-layered originals, or multiple originals stapled or clipped– Extremely thick originals (greater than 107 g/m2 (28-lb bond))

Maximum Printing Areas and MarginsThe maximum printing areas are as follows.The maximum printing area is read and the originals are printed regardless of the original size and the paper size in the printer.

No matter which size of originals, be sure to make some margins around the original. Especially a 10 mm (3/8") mm margin on the top side is required for originals. The printing area that is larger than print paper stains the Pressure Roller and smudges the paper.

Unit Size Weight
