❒
Depending on the ambient temperature and humidity, steam may come from
the exhaust vent behind the control panel during printing. This is water va-
pour from the paper, not a sign of malfunction.
❒
If condensation forms inside the machine as a result of temperature change,
the machine may not print properly. To minimize this problem, use the op-
tional anti-condensation heaters.
❒
The optional anti-condensation heaters keep the machine in optimal operat-
ing condition at all times by ensuring its interior is always warm. For this rea-
son, the heaters will not go off when you switch the machine’s main power
off.you have to switch them off intentionally. and the machine’s interior is
kept warm.
❒
Be sure to make a note of the registered machine settings in case they are lost
due to accident or malfunction.

ing. However, for long-term storage, make sure to store them in a binder

• Toner may also melt when using solvent type adhesive agents for pasting
prints.
• When folding prints, toner in the folds will come off.
• Toner may melt if it is placed on mats made of chlorinated plastic in locations
of high temperature for long periods of time.
