Important!:
• Even when using paper whose specifications are supported size and weight, 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 13-lb bond (46 g/m2))
• Extremely thick or heavy paper (greater than 110-lb index (210 g/m2))
• Wrinkled, curled, folded, or torn paper
• Chemically treated or coated paper (such as thermal or carbon paper)
• Paper having a sticky section or holes (such as an envelope and label paper)
14 Paper Recommendations
Note:
• Paper with a horizontal grain direction can cause problems with paper pass. Use paper with a vertical grain direction.
• Images are not output onto the entire area of usable print paper.
)p.17
RISO does not assure that paper outside the above specifications pass through the machine and can be used for
printing.
Tips for Better Paper Feeding

To prevent paper jams and misfeeds, follow the directions below:
• When using standard or light-weight paper, set the Paper Feed Pressure Adjustment Lever to “NORMAL”. Then
open all four Paper Arrangers. )p.33, )p.35
• When using thick paper (such as card stock), set the Paper Feed Pressure Adjustment Lever to “CARD”, and open
the two inner Paper Arrangers. )p.33, )p.35
• When using slippery paper, set the Paper Feed Pressure Adjustment Lever to “CARD”. )p.33, )p.35
• Slide the Feed Tray Paper Guides, Receiving Tray Paper Guides, and Paper Stopper to fit the paper size. )p.33
• Use flat printing paper that is free of folds. If curled paper is unavoidable, place the printing paper so that the curl
faces down.
• Paper may stick to the cylinder (drum) 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 mar-
gin or reverse the top and bottom of the original. Then restart printing from the beginning.
Storing Environment
Store 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 printing paper, keep the remaining paper wrapped and store it in a moisture-proof box. It is highly rec-
ommended to put silica gel in the paper storage box.

*1 The paper weight limit differs depending on which sides of the original are scanned. Scanning sides can be spec-
ified using “Scanning Side -ADF”. )p.164
• Originals are scanned according to the size of paper placed on the Paper Feed Tray when masters are made; for
the same width, the positions of the Feed Tray Paper Guides.
When the placed paper is smaller than an original, not the entire original will be scanned.
When the placed paper is larger than an original, dirt on the glass or shade of the original, for example, may result
in unexpected dirt in the area beyond the size of the original.
• Bound originals can also be used on the Stage Glass.
• You can feed automatically up to 50 original sheets when using the optional ADF (Auto Document Feeder) unit.
Note:
• Use the Stage Glass when printing the following originals:
– 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
Using the optional Auto Document Feeder AF-VI:II: less than 50 g/m2
Using the optional Auto Document Feeder DX-1:
less than 40 g/m2 (Front Side -> Simplex) / less than 52 g/m2 (Duplex -> Simplex)
– Extremely thick originals
Using the optional Auto Document Feeder AF-VI:II: greater than 128 g/m2
Using the optional Auto Document Feeder DX-1:
greater than 128 g/m2 (Front Side -> Simplex) / greater than 105 g/m2 (Duplex -> Simplex)
– Heavy drawing paper
– Originals with staples or clips
• If an original is wrinkled, curled, or creased flatten it thoroughly so that the originals can be pressed directly onto
the Stage Glass during processing.
• If correction fluid or glue is used on an original, thoroughly dry it before placement.
• For an original patched with thick paper, the shade of the patched paper may also be printed.

Tip:
About Printing Areas
• Printing area for the master is determined by the actual paper size detected on the Paper Feed Tray, regardless
of whether the original is being scanned, or sent from a computer.
• As shown in the illustration above, the printing area on the master will be smaller than the paper size (allowing 9/32"
(7 mm) total margins for top and bottom, 1/4" (6 mm) for left and right). Peripheral areas in the original document
exceeding the printing area for the master will not be printed.
• The maximum printing area can be applied to the scanned image, regardless of the print paper size.

Separates lighter images written with the recommended pen, pencil or mechanical pencil from black printed images
by copier or a laser printer.
The master of the prior original is created on Cylinder (Drum) 1, the handwritten portion on Cylinder (Drum) 2 (cylin-
ders (drums) are reversed if [Sw.Color] is selected).
Note:
• Do not use a ballpoint pen to write.
Red writing may be detected as black.
• Use H to 2B for mechanical pencils.

2-Color Printing with 1 Original [Easy 2Color] 47

Basic Operations
Hand Writing--2
Separates handwriting written using the recommended pen or red pencil on originals from black printed images by a
RISO printer or ink-jet printer (documents printed with a lighter shade of black, or with water-based ink, etc.).
The master of the prior original is created on Cylinder (Drum) 1, the handwritten portion on Cylinder (Drum) 2 (cylin-
ders (drums) are reversed if [Sw.Color] is selected).

Tip:
About Red Color, Hand Writing--1, Hand Writing--2 Originals
The “Easy 2Color” function separates colors by detecting light and dark portions of the original. This function does not
detect colors. The master of the dark portion of the original is created on Cylinder (Drum) 1 (black) and the light por-
tion on Cylinder (Drum) 2 (red).
• Even if the pen is red, the contrast of the writing is dark, so it will be detected as black. In addition, if the contrast
is extremely light, neither a red nor black master will be made.
• We recommend a Sans-Serif fonts of 8 point or larger for the original. For Serif fonts, please use 18 point or larger
font (In case of Hand Writing--2, use 12 point or larger.). If the text is too small, it will be detected as red.
• Text that is of average contrast (not dark and not light) will be created on both a black and red master. This will
cause the text edges to appear fuzzy (text will be both red and black, text will be missing, etc.).
• Contrast and tone level will determine whether photos, gradations or shaded areas are printed in black or red.
Specified Area
Separates the original that has been written directly upon with the recommended pen in the desired area.
The master of the portion outside the specified area is created on Cylinder (Drum) 1, the portion within on Cylinder
(Drum) 2 (cylinders (drums) are reversed if [Sw.Color] is selected).

(outside area) (inside area)
Important!:
• Use “Separation Sheet” if the original contains photos or color images.

Basic Operations
Separation Sheet
Separates the original using a separate sheet (Area Specification Sheet) that is written on using the recommended
pen for the desired area. The master of the portion outside the specified area is created on Cylinder (Drum) 1, the por-
tion within on Cylinder (Drum) 2 (cylinders (drums) are reversed if [Sw.Color] is selected).

• About the Area Specification Sheet
Use the area specification sheet if you are using an original that cannot be written on. Also use the area specifica-
tion sheet for separating originals with photos or color images. The Area Specification Sheet should be a white
sheet of paper the same size as the original. Place the sheet on the original and draw around the area to be sep-
arated (the area to be printed in color) with the pen.

About the Specified Area, Separation Sheet
Use the recommended pen to create the area to be specified. If you specify the area with a non-recommended pen,
separation may not properly occur.
• Make sure to properly connect the edges of the area you draw with the pen. If the edges are not connected, the
specified area may not be recognized.
Valid Invalid
• The line width of the specified area should be between 3/64" (1 mm) to 1/8" (3 mm) (2.25 to 4.5 points). Lines less
than 3/64" (1 mm) or wider than 1/8" (3 mm) will not be recognized as a specified area.
3/64" (1 mm) (2.25 pt)

1/8" (3 mm) (4.5 pt)
• Areas that are 3/8" × 3/8" (10 mm × 10 mm) or less will not be recognized as a specified area.
• If the area specified by the pen exceeds Ledger (A3) size, it will not be recognized.
• Do not create dark points on the pen line.
Invalid
• Up to 20 pen areas can be created on one original. An error will occur if you select more than 20 areas.
• Do not overlap the pen areas. If the edges touch, the specified area may not be recognized.
Leave 1/8" (3 mm) or more of space between pen-enclosed areas.
Valid 1/8" (3 mm) Invalid
• Make sure the pen line is approximately 1/8" (3 mm) away from text or an image of the original. Sections within 1/8"
(3 mm) of the pen line will be lost.
1/8" (3 mm)
• Do not enclose an area within an area. If you do so, the inner pen area will not be recognized.
Invalid
• Specified areas outside of the scanned area (size of the print paper being used) will not be separated.

Reproducing the Master [Renew Page]

The data from the last master-making process is temporarily stored on the machine.
Using this data, another master can be reproduced without repeating steps to scan the same original.
“Auto Page Renewal” is a function that automatically recreates a master when a specified number of pages are
printed. If you are printing a high-volume job of thousands or tens of thousands of copies, the master may degrade
before the job is completed.
If you set “Auto Page Renewal” to “ON” prior to starting a large-volume print job, a master will be automatically rec-
reated when the specified number of copies is reached (Auto Renewal Point). This allows you to maintain a consist-
ent print quality from start to finish.
Note:
• When 2-Color printing, you can select the cylinder (drum) on which to recreate the master. When 1-Color printing,
the current cylinder (drum) is used to recreate the master.
• When 2-Color printing, you can change Cylinder (Drum) 1 and the master on Cylinder (Drum) 2 and recreate the
master (change print color).
• “Renew Page” works with data sent from a computer as well. However, if multiple pages exist, only the last page
will be processed with “Renew Page”.
• When direct printing, you can “Rotate” the original and recreate a master.
• “Renew Page” function is not available:
– immediately after startup
– after pressing the key
– after executing “Auto Clear” (“Changing Default settings” )p.173)
– after performing “Confidential”
– after master-making for Data Output Mode (when the optional Key Card Counter is installed.)
– when an error has occurred during master-making
– after performing “Link Print”
• When “Renew Page” or “Auto Page Renewal” is selected, 2 proof copies will be made. When the print position has
been adjusted, the printer will center the cylinders (drums) to their original position, recreate the master and print
a proof copy. Then, the cylinders (drums) will move to the previously adjusted position and print another proof
copy.

You can cut the top portion of the margin to between 0 to 3.9" (99 mm) and make a master.
This feature enables you to skip the registration marks* on the original and print on the finish-sized paper without any
of these marks.
* About the Registration Mark

In the field of commercial printing, it is normal to print on paper that is larger than the finished size and then cut down
to the finished size afterwards. The symbol that indicates the position to cut in this event is known as the registration
mark.
Important!:
• When you are setting the “Size”, magnify/reduce using the area that skips the set value.
Do not use “Auto”.
Note:
• This function cannot be used with “2 Up”.
Cylinder (Drum) 1 is used for the “Top Margin” when 2-Color printing. You can set Cylinder (Drum) 2 to be used for

• The numerical value formed by “Print Position Adjustment” is the target. Set the actual position by verifying and
adjusting the printed material.
• Just after adjusting the print position of only one cylinder (drum), traces of the previous print position remain, which
may cause blurred printing. If this occurs, make several proofs until the remaining image disappears.

Advanced Features
Automatic Sorting Into Groups [Program]
You can use “Program” to divide one original into several groups and program each group to print a different number
of copies or sets. For multiple originals, you can change the number of copies for each original and then print.
“Program” consists of three types: “Single Page”, “Multi-Page”, and “Combination”.
Once a setting has been programed, it can be registered to the Program List and can be retrieved and repeatedly
used (up to 12 programs of the combined 3 groups can be stored)
Note:
• After printing with “Program”, press the key to deactivate “Program”.
Single Page Mode

From a single original document, print into multiple groups of sets.
A maximum of 50 groups can be created, each having up to 99 sets. Each set can be up to 9999 copies.
The machine can be configured to specify how many copies (sheets) per set, then how many sets are to be cre-
ated for each group.

Combination (only possible with 2-Color printing)

A 2-Color original is used to make a master on Cylinder (Drum) 1 and Cylinder (Drum) 2. The 1-Color print for just
Cylinder (Drum) 1 is grouped in the same way as for “Single Page” program and prints. The 2-Color print object
is inserted based upon the copy number set as the group separation.
The “Combination” program is useful for printing material that has “Questions” and “Answers”.
For example, it can be used to print multiple test questions for students in one color and then print one copy of the
teacher’s answer key in red.
Up to 50 groups can be set, and each group can have a maximum of 9999 copies.

How to Program Print

There are two ways to print in sets using “Program” printing feature.
• Program, then print (without saving the settings)
• Retrieve a saved program, then print (when program is registered)
Tip:
Choose from the following actions on the Print Basic Screen.
Touch a button to proceed.
[Renew Page]: Creates a master from the last Master-Making data.

[Next Page] or [Go to Next]: Stops current print job, skips to the next original, set or group.
[Cancel Job]: Cancels execution of the Program.
Note:
• The Job Separator (option) is useful for Programed Printing.
The Job Separator releases a piece of tape after each set or original document, thereby automatically separating
sets or groups. It eliminates the need to manually remove a stack of sheets or insert a marker between sets.
Remember to activate “Job Separation” in the Functions screen when printing with the Job Separator.
You must remove each stack from the Paper Receiving Tray, or insert a marker during the pause if not using the
Job Separator.

Extending the Reserve Period [Reservation]

This function is useful when the machine is connected to a computer. When the machine is inactive for a certain
period of time, it determines that the current job is completed, even if the actual printing is still under way.
If another person accidentally initiates another job from the computer, this will cause a new master to be made, dis-
carding the current one.
By extending “Reserve Period”, such interruption can be prevented. We recommend that you activate the “Reserva-
tion” setting when temporarily pausing a job to prevent interruption.
Note:
• Select from 5, 10, or 30 minutes as the “Reservation” period on the Admin. screen. The factory default is 5 minutes.
)p.176
• The following operations do not count towards reservation period.
– When the machine is operating (making a master, printing, confidential action, idling, etc.)
– When the Job Separator (option) is operating
– When Control Panel buttons are being entered
• Auto Sleep and Auto Power-OFF will be disabled during the reservation period.
Auto Sleep/Auto Power-OFF: timer re-activates after the reservation period is up.

Idling Action [Idling Action]

When the machine has not been used for an extended period of time, or when the Print Cylinder (Drum) is replaced,
the first several copies may be printed too light. By performing “Idling Action” before making a master, high print qual-
ity may be instantly achieved and reduce paper waste.
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 both Cylinder (Drum) 1 and Cylinder (Drum) 2 are set, you can select “Idling Action” for either.
• If you are only using Cylinder (Drum) 1 or Cylinder (Drum) 2, the “Idling Action” is only applied to the cylinder (drum) 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.

Protecting Confidential Documents

[Confidential]
Master left on the Print Cylinder (Drum) is capable of printing even after the print job is completed. By using the “Con-
fidential” feature, the master on the Print Cylinder (Drum) is discarded, thus preventing unauthorized reproduction of
confidential documents such as academic tests or customer lists.
Note:
• When “Confidential” is performed, the discarded master may no longer be reproduced, and “Renew Page” feature
is disabled.
• If “Idling Action” is set to “ON”, “Idling Action” is executed using a confidential master (use this function when not
using the cylinder (drum) for extended periods of time).

Keeping Masters Secure After Printing

After printing is completed, the master remains on the Print Cylinder (Drum). To protect confidential documents from
unauthorized duplication, use the Confidential feature to discard the master after printing. (i.e. “Confidential” function)
Used masters are held in the Master Disposal Box. The machine is equipped with a protection function to prevent the
master from being removed from the Master Disposal Box and leaked by any ill-intended third party.
“Protect” Setting
When the “Protect” setting is ON:
• When printing is complete, the “Confidential” function is activated to show the message to discard the master
remaining on the Print Cylinder (Drum).
• The Master Disposal Box is locked and cannot be removed while the machine is standby. (However, the Master
Disposal Box can be unlocked and removed if the master is jammed in the Disposal Unit or the Master Disposal
Box is full.)
Locking the Master Disposal Box

To prevent any leak of master documents after printing, the Master Disposal Box can be locked with a padlock so that
no-one apart from the administrator of the machine can remove it. (Purchase an ordinary padlock whose loop will fit
through the hole, which is 9/32” (7 mm) wide.)
