Originals andProcessingSize and Weight RestrictionsUsing the Stage GlassThe Stage Glass can be used to print from bound originals or sheet originals. Usable originals are as follows:

Size: Max. 115⁄8" × 17" (297 mm × 432 mm) Weight: Max. 22lbs. (10 kg)Min. 2" × 31 ⁄2" (50 mm × 90 mm)

The margins indicated on the figure to the right are required for the original.Reduce the original if necessary to fit it inside these margins.

• If an original is wrinkled, curled, or creased, flatten it thoroughly so that theoriginals can be pressed directly onto the Stage Glass during processing.

• If correction fluid or glue is used on an original, thoroughly dry it before youplace the original on the Stage Glass.

Using the Optional ADFYou can use the optional ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) to feed automatically upto 50 original sheets.Usable original sheets are as follows:

Size: Max. 115⁄8" × 17" (297 mm × 432 mm) Weight: Max. 28-lb bond (110 g/m2)Min. 31 ⁄2" × 51 ⁄2" (90 mm × 140 mm) : Min. 15-lb bond (50 g/m2)

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 (less than 15-lb bond (50 g/m2))• Extremely thick originals (greater than 28-lb bond (110 g/m2))• Heavy drawing paper• Bound originals • Originals with staples or clips

Guides for Selecting Processing You can use various image processing modes to produce printed copies according tothe contents of the original.

- IMAGE PROCESSING Selection Key - ☞ p.30• LINE For ordinary documents with lines and text.• PHOTO To reproduce different shades of photo or half-tone images.• DUO To reproduce photo or half-tone images clearly without deteriorating

line sharpness.

- DOT PHOTO Selection Key - ☞ p.37To process a photo original using a dot screen.

- BOUND ORIGINAL Selection Key - ☞ p.38To print a two-page spread of a bound original on one sheet with the bindingshadow erased.• WIDE Erases the binding shadow horizontally.• LONG Erases the binding shadow vertically.

Size: Max. 111 ⁄2" × 151 ⁄2" (290 mm × 395 mm) Weight: Max.110-lb index (210 g/m2)Min. 31 ⁄2" × 51 ⁄2" (90 mm × 140 mm) Min. 13-lb bond (46 g/m2)

The maximum printing area is as follows:= RN2000 =

• Letter Cylinder (Drum) - 81⁄4" × 111⁄2" (210 × 290 mm) = RN2030/2130 =

• Legal Cylinder (Drum) - 81⁄4" × 14" (210 × 357 mm) = RN2050/2150 =

• B4 Cylinder (Drum) - 97⁄8" × 14" (251 × 357 mm)

Important!Do not use the following types of paper, as they can cause jams or misfeeds:• Extremely thin paper (less than 13-lb bond, or 46 g/m2)• Extremely thick or heavy paper (greater than 110-lb index, or 210 g/m2)• Wrinkled, curled, folded, or torn paper• Chemically treated or coated paper (such as thermal or carbon paper)

Guides for Trouble-Free UseTo prevent paper jams and misfeeds, follow the directions below:• When using standard paper, set the Paper Feed Pressure Adjustment Lever and

the Paper Ejection Wing 1 Adjustment Lever to "NORMAL", select "Sandard" in thePaper feed mode and open all four Paper Arrangers. ☞ pp.20-22

• When using thick paper (such as card stock), set the Paper Feed PressureAdjustment Lever and the Paper Ejection Wing 1 Adjustment Lever to "CARD",select "Card Stock" in the Paper feed mode and open the two inner PaperArrangers. Note that the Paper Ejection Wing 2 Adjustment Lever should belowered as well. ☞ pp.20-22

• When using light-weight paper, set the Paper Feed Pressure Adjustment Lever andthe Paper Ejection Wing 1 Adjustment Lever to "NORMAL", select "Light-Weight" inthe Paper feed mode and open all four Paper Arrangers. ☞ pp.20-22

• When using slippery paper, set the Paper Feed Pressure Adjustment Lever to"CARD". ☞ p.20

• Slide the Feed Tray Paper Guides, Receiving Tray Paper Guides, and Paper Stopto fit the paper size. ☞ pp.20-22

• Use flat printing paper that is free of folds. If curled paper is unavoidable, place theprinting paper so that the curl faces down.

• Paper may stick to the Cylinder (Drum) surface if the top margin is too narrow onthe original or if the upper portion of the original uses a large amount of ink. Tosolve this problem, lower the print position to provide a wider top margin or reversethe top and bottom of the original. Then restart printing from the beginning. ☞ p.39

Storing EnvironmentStore printing paper in a level, dry area. Storing the paper in an excessively humidarea could cause paper jams as well as poor print quality.

After unpacking printing paper, keep the remaining paper wrapped and store it in amoisture-proof box. It is highly recommended to put silica gel in the paper storagebox.

Basic Processes

The basic processes of your RISOGRAPH can be divided into two stages: making amaster of an original/PC data (master-making), and then printing copies from themaster.Your RISOGRAPH has been designed so that these two processes flow smoothlyfrom one to the other, with the current action shown clearly in the display.

Master-Making When you create a master, an original is scanned. The master is imaged and thenautomatically placed on the Print Cylinder (Drum).

1 Set an original in place.

2 Scan the original.

3 Create a master.

The master is placed on the Print Cylinder (Drum)and a proof copy is produced.

When document data is sent from a PC to your RISOGRAPH,the first 2 steps (original scanning) are skipped.

NOTE

4 Enter the number of copies youwant.

5 Start printing.

PrintingWhen you print, the Print Cylinder (Drum) rotates to print the specified number ofcopies.

27

Basic Operation

• If the Main Display shows the PC datamode window, press the Data SourceSelection key on the Sub control panelto open the window for the stand-aloneoperation mode (Scan data mode).Before pressing this key in this case,however, make sure no print job isproceeding for any computer documentdata. You can close the PC data modewindow safely when the windowdisplays to the right appear in the MainDisplay.

Holding down the RESET key longer than onesecond returns the control panel to the initialsettings.

Basic Processes

The basic processes of your RISOGRAPH can be divided into two stages: making amaster of an original/PC data (master-making), and then printing copies from themaster.Your RISOGRAPH has been designed so that these two processes flow smoothlyfrom one to the other, with the current action shown clearly in the display.

Master-Making When you create a master, an original is scanned. The master is imaged and thenautomatically placed on the Print Cylinder (Drum).

1 Set an original in place.

2 Scan the original.

3 Create a master.

The master is placed on the Print Cylinder (Drum)and a proof copy is produced.

When document data is sent from a PC to your RISOGRAPH,the first 2 steps (original scanning) are skipped.

NOTE

4 Enter the number of copies youwant.

5 Start printing.

PrintingWhen you print, the Print Cylinder (Drum) rotates to print the specified number ofcopies.

CComputerInterface Guides- Optional for RN20 Series ModelsThis section describes various operation patterns and functions which are available forprinting out the document files created on your computer in the PC data mode.

77

79


To print out the document file sent from a remote location over the publictelecommunication lines, connect the standard serial communication cable (RS-232C)between the modem (or terminal adapter) and the DB-9 serial port of yourRISOGRAPH. With this connection, you will be able to receive the document datacreated on the computer in a remote location over the public telecommunication lines.In this case, you are required to select "Remote transmission" as communicationmode on your RISOGRAPH.

Important! • Be sure to turn off the modem (or terminal adapter) and the RISOGRAPH when

connecting the cable.• The allowable maximum input voltage of the serial port is 12 V.• Poor contact trouble may occur when a 9-pin-to-25-pin adapter is used for this

connection.• In some countries, this communication mode may not be available due to the

unsuitable local telecommunication environment.

To assist you to transmit the document data from the remote location to theRISOGRAPH, the dedicated communication utility software, RISORINCManager, is included in the accessory software CD-ROM.

You can connect your RISOGRAPH to a computer in two ways, i.e. with direct cableconnection (Local connection mode) and over the public telecommunication lines(Remote transmission mode).For direct cable connection, the standard parallel port (IEEE 1284A) is provided onyour RISOGRAPH.For data transmission over the public telecommunication lines, on the other hand, thestandard serial port (DB-9) is mounted there.

An extra network port can be added to enable the connection of standardEthernet cables (10Base-T and 100Base-TX) by building the optional networkinterface card into your RISOGRAPH.☞ p.122

NOTE

To print out the document file created on your Windows PC which is placed besideyour RISOGRAPH, connect the standard parallel printer cable, IEEE 1284-compliantone, between the printer port of your computer and the parallel port of yourRISOGRAPH.With this connection, you will be able to send the document data created on yourWindows PC directly to your RISOGRAPH.In this case, you are required to select "Local connection" as communication mode onyour RISOGRAPH.

Important! • Always use a commercially available IEEE 1284-compliant printer cable.• Be sure to turn off the personal computer and the RISOGRAPH when connecting

the cable.• The allowable maximum input voltage of the parallel port is 5 V.

If you want to connect your RISOGRAPH to a Macintosh PC or use yourRISOGRAPH in the LAN (Local area network) environment, you are requiredto install the optional network interface card into the RISOGRAPH and addthe Ethernet network port (RJ45) to allow the connection of the 10Base-T or100Base-TX Ethernet cable.

Selecting Output Pages on YourRISOGRAPHYour RISOGRAPH can store the document data received from the computer in thememory without printing them, allowing you to select the pages to be printed out onthe RISOGRAPH.Besides, the document data stored in the memory remain there until they are clearedwith key operation, enabling the repeated output of the same document data.To enable this function of your RISOGRAPH, open the Mode configuration window inthe Main Display and change the setting of the "Document Data Spooling" function to"ON".☞ p.89

When the communication mode is changed to "Remote Transmission", the"Document Data Spooling" function is automatically activated.It is highly recommended to keep this function activated in the "RemoteTransmission" mode.

In the RISOGRAPH, each document data is first stored inthe Job memory in a compressed format and thentransferred into the Print memory and developed there tobe printed out. While the Job memory is not full, theRISOGRAPH can receive document data additionally.

If the Document Data Spooling function is notselected, further operation will automatically startin your RISOGRAPH after all document datahave been received, thus printing out all pages ofthe received document data in order.
