When the thermal paper has run out, the red lamp will light. Load new recording paper. A4 reduction copy key. This is used when copying one page of the screen at a reduced size onto A4 paper. At this time, the copy is reduced horizontally. A4-L copy key.. This is used when one page of the screen is copied onto A4-L paper. The machine produces a copy at a reduced scale of the same length and breadth. Repeat key.. For use with optional PC interface kit. PC COPY key.. For use with optional PC interface kit. Feed/stop key.. This is used when the screen slides to the left. Pressing this key advances the screen by one page and then automatically stops. Pressing the key while the board screen is being moved stops it immediately. This can also be used when paper has run out and must be refilled. If this key is pressed during the copying operation, the copying performance ends and the printer stops.

HOW TO USE

BEFORE USE.
Press the caster lock switches ON and keep the casters in a locked position. Plug in and turn ON the power switch. After the power lamp blinks for 2-3 seconds, it should turn green.
WHEN COPYING. When copying onto A4 paper:
Press the A4 reduction copy key. At this time the board screen slides forward one page and the written contents are reduced onto A4 paper.
When copying onto A4-L paper:
Press A4-L copy key. At this time the board screen slides forward one page, and the written contents are reduced to A4-L size (210 x 400mm) and copied.
Cut-off of Recording Paper
When copying is completed, pull the tip of the recording paper upwards and cut it off with the edge of the outlet.

Halt of Copying

Press the feed/stop key to half the copying operation immediately. The printer stops after completion of copying up to that point.
WHEN SLIDING THE SCREEN FORWARD. Sliding by using key
Press the feed/stop key. Then, the board screen slides to the left by one page and stops. It stops immediately when the feed/stop key is pressed during the sliding operation.

Manual sliding

It is also possible to slide the board screen manually. In this case, it can be slid in either direction; to the right and left. However, manual sliding at an excessively high speed must be avoided as it occasionally causes problems.
WHEN REPLACING RECORDING PAPER. *Concerning replacement of recording paper
Replace with new recording paper in the following cases: When a red line appears at the end of the recording paper. (A red line appears when only about one meter or so of recording paper is remaining.) When the paper warning lamp lights red.
Press the opening button to open the printer cover.
Take out the winding core of used recording paper.
As illustrated, set it in so that the tip of the new roll of recording paper extends about 20cm from the outlet.
Push both ends of the hatch closed until it locks with a clicking noise. At this time, make sure that the recording paper has not slipped.
Cut off the extra recording paper from the printer outlet.
Replace the recording paper in the following situations
When a red line appears at the edges of the recording paper. The red line will appear when there is only about one meter (3 feet) or so of recording paper left on the roll. When the paper out lamp lights red.
Please use only the correct type of recording paper. Particular attention must be given to the winding direction of the recording paper, since copying cannot be performed if the winding direction of the recording paper is reversed. Be sure to keep the recording paper straight when loading, failure to do so may cause wrinkling or tearing of the paper during the copy function.

*Automatic Power Cut-off Function
If there is no key operation for about an hour, the fluorescent lamp inside the main unit automatically goes off and the machine enters a state of power conservation. (At this time, the power lamp is lit.) If at any time any key is pressed, the fluorescent lamp light again, and the normal operating condition is restored.

MAINTENANCE/HOW TO STORE

Carry out the following maintenance procedures periodically to ensure high quality copying performance at all times. (1) Cleaning of the surface When the surface gets stained, wipe it off with a slightly damp cloth. Also, if the stain is particularly stubborn, use a solution of water-thinned neutral detergent to wipe it off. Do not start using the machine until the sheet has completely dried. (2) Cleaning of tray and decorative frame Wipe away any dirt or residue left by the markers in the tray and the decorative frame with a slightly damp cloth.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

<FOR SAFE USE>
1. Avoid placing the machine in hot spots where it is exposed to direct sunlight or where an air conditioning duct. 2. When using sticky tape on the surface of the board screen, do not leave it on for a long time. Moreover, after removing it, wipe the screen clean. Do not hit or pierce the board screen with any hard or sharp objects. 3. Do not leave writing or marks on the board screen for a long time since it sometimes become difficult to erase. 4. Be careful not to stain the joints of the board screen as there have been very rare cases where such stains have been copied. 5. As thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc., may discolor or mark the main unit and the board screen, never use such chemicals when cleaning. 6. Use only the correct type of recording paper.
When storing thermal recording paper, avoid the following places. This is important because storage in such places may cause color development or discoloration. (1) Places where the paper is exposed to direct sunlight. (2) Places where the paper is exposed to temperatures of more than 35C and humidity of 85% or over. (3) Places adjacent to alcohol, thinner, benzine, ammonia, etc.
7. When replacing recording paper, do not place any objects on the open printer cover or do not put your elbows on it. 8. After use, make sure to turn OFF the power switch. In addition, when it is not to be used for a long time, make certain that the plug of the power cord is pulled out form the outlet. 9. Always use the correct type of marker. Be careful not to use other markers as the sheet may be damaged or, in some cases, the ink may be difficult to remove. 10. Write within an area of a size that can be easily read.

11. When moving this machine, turn OFF the caster lock switches, hold both the right and the left sides of the main unit firmly, and avoid any sudden jolts or shocks.
CHECK LIST OF SIMPLE FAILURES
<BEFORE ASKING FOR A REPAIR SERVICE>
CONDITIONS When the power fails When pressing copy key does not result in copying Although printer is functioning, nothing is copied on recording paper When characters written on board screen cannot be rubbed out even by the use of an eraser When copy is dirty CHECKPOINTS Check if power cord is pulled out outlet. Check if paper warning lamp (red) is lit. Check if winding direction of recording paper is set on reverse. (No copying is made on back of recording paper) Check if any marker except the correct type has been used. Wipe off with a damp cloth or neutral detergent. Check for ink residue on the screen. If it is stained, wipe off carefully with a soft damp cloth.
If no satisfactory result can be achieved even after the above, contact the suppliers or our company.
