Idling Action
[Idling Action]
Idling action prevents the machine from printing the first several copies with faint Ink after the Print Drum (Cylinder)
has been exchanged or the machine has not been used for an extended period of time. Idling action before the mas-
ter-making process assures consistent print quality from the beginning.
Important!:
• “Idling Action” is effective only in conjunction with the master-making process. When performing print processes
only, “Idling Action” will have no effect.
Note:
• If you are only using Print Drum (Cylinder) 1 or Print Drum (Cylinder) 2, the “Idling Action” is applied only to the Print Drum
(Cylinder) that is set.
• To perform “Idling Action” automatically when making a master after a specified period of time since the last print
job, set “Auto Idling” on the Admin. Screen. Idling Rotation can be set from 1 to 3.
• When Mono-Color printing with Print Drum (Cylinder) 1, both Print Drums (Cylinders) 1 and 2 may idle at the same
time if
[Auto Idling]
is set.

“Idling Action” is executed.
• Remember to load the originals before pressing
the
key as the master will be made imme-
diately after “Idling Action” finishes.
