Professional Printing and Paper

PROFESSIONAL PRINTING AND PAPER Your paper would be the main guitarist at a rock concert if your print job were a rock performance. Sure, you could put any old musician up there, but if you want to go down in history as a standout, your lead player must be exceptional. Don’t be cheap with the paper. When working with a professional printer, you will have to make the following decisions: Weight of Paper The weight of the paper indicates its thickness. A high weight number indicates thicker paper, and thick paper reacts differently to ink than paper with a lower weight number. Thicker, higher weight paper is often called cover stock and can get be as thick as cardboard. Thinner paper, sometimes called text stock, is more like the paper you find in a novel — and can even run as thin as the paper in a phonebook. Coated or Uncoated Paper Paper can be coated or uncoated. Coated paper tends to make colors more vibrant and produces a sharper look. It’s also glossy and spill-resistant, which makes it a great choice for printed materials that’ll be exposed to the elements — self-mailers, door hangers, and postcards, for example. Uncoated paper has a matte finish and can be written on. It’s great for business cards, trade show handouts, or other materials that you may want to make notes on. During printing, the ink or toner seeps into uncoated paper, which gives its colors a warm and soft feel. *Other Model Available RICOH MPC3503/MPC5503 RICOH MPC3504/MPC5504 Contact Us: 03-3341 6296 | 018-788 6296 | 018-228 6296

4 maintenance tips to avoid copier issues

4 Maintenance tips to avoid copier issues. Turn it off The simplest copier maintenance tip is to turn off your copier. We sometimes overlook the most basic maintenance tasks. By turning off your copy machine at night and on weekends, you can extend its life. You will also save money on your electric bill by turning off the light. Preheat it Warm-up time is required for your copier before it is ready for its daily workout. If you turn off your copy machine for the weekend, give it time to warm up before turning it back on. If it has been turned off, it will most likely go through a calibration procedure. Remember that repeatedly pressing the “copy” button will not accelerate the process.Allow the calibration mode to complete its critical work. Scrub the glass Another simple copier maintenance task is to keep your copier clean. Do your copies have those vexing streaks? What about those bothersome pinhead-sized dots or grey blobs? Wite-Out correction fluid, which dates back to the 1960s, is still one of the top copier glass smudge producers, according to copier maintenance service technicians. These unsightly marks can be avoided simply by cleaning the copier’s glass. Not to mention the document feeder, which requires cleaning as well. On the feeder of today’s copiers, there are frequently one or two thin strips of glass. To avoid marks on your copies, wipe them clean on a regular basis. You can clean your copier glass with a standard glass cleaner. However, NEVER spray the glass with the cleaning fluid because it could make its way into the machines operational electronics. Instead, spray a cloth with cleanser. Make use of better paper Paper jams are probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of paper problems. First, consider a rarely discussed paper issue: paper dust. If you aren’t a copier technician, you may be unaware that paper dust can accumulate inside your machine and cause image quality issues. Recycled and low-quality paper produce more dust. Although a lower paper price may be appealing, purchasing higher quality paper may save you money in the long run. *Other Model Available RICOH MPC3503/MPC5503 RICOH MPC3504/MPC5504 Contact Us: 03-3341 6296 | 018-788 6296 | 018-228 6296

Photocopier Operation

1. Start the photocopier. To begin, look for plugs and ensure that the copier’s cord is plugged into a nearby outlet. Next, look for the power button, which is usually on top but can be on the side. If the unit is already turned on but not responding, it may be in “sleep” mode, in which case simply press the “copy” button for a response. Check that the copier has paper before proceeding to the next step. The paper tray will be located on the front or side of the device, and it should always be topped up. 2. Make a copy of your document Lift the cover of the photocopier and place your document on the glass surface. The front of the document should be facing down on the glass. You should also place the document according to the guide marks. You can close the copier cover once you’ve properly placed your document. 3. Determine the Number of Copies Now, choose how many copies you want the copier to make. The copier will have a digital number display as well as plus and minus keys for changing the quantity. 4. Choose a colour preference Then you select whether you want colour or black and white copies. To make your changes, press the button. 5. Determine the Paper Size Choose the appropriate paper size. The standard paper size is 8.5 x 11 inches. If you need to use a specific paper size, you must feed it into the appropriate tray. 6. Tap the Copy button. Finally, to print your copies, press the “copy” button. Some units label the copy button as a start button. When you press the copy button, your copies will begin to print.   *Other Model Available RICOH MPC3503/MPC5503 RICOH MPC3504/MPC5504 Contact Us: 03-3341 6296 | 018-788 6296 | 018-228 6296

3 Ways To Maintain The Functionality Of Your Office Copier

OFFICE COPIERS REQUIRE (A LITTLE) MAINTENANCE: If the copier hasn’t been used in several days, such as over the weekend, it’s a good idea to run a few test prints before utilising it heavily. Before the day begins, replace old paper with a new stack and check for any jams. When kept idle for an extended period of time, most copiers will enter sleep mode and initiate a calibration mode when restarted. Please be patient. The machine is doing this for a reason, and repeatedly pushing the copy button will not speed up this critical operation. CRAPPY PAPER WILL HARM YOUR COPIER Many people leave copiers stuffed to the gills. Always check the paper capacity, which is usually indicated by a fill level line on the inside of the paper tray. Never go above or below this line. Have you heard that fanning the stack from one corner can help put some air between the pages? It’s an urban legend, to be sure. Different paper weights may also affect the number of sheets you can load (thicker paper = fewer sheets). Keep the paper itself in a dry, clean, and organised place until it’s time to use it. Crinkled paper can cause the copier to jam, and humidity can cause the paper to ripple and curl, resulting in poor print quality. YOU CAN ALSO DESTRUCT YOUR COPIER You, indeed. Use caution when operating the machine. There are two methods for repairing a copier. While your first instinct may be to tear open the drawers and dive in to find the source of a paper jam, always follow the screen prompts on the display panel for clearing a jam. Open “the guts” with caution, as a paper jam is simply a backup of paper that could result in a single or multiple pages being partially engaged between two sections of the machine. If you open the components too quickly, parts of your paper may tear, making retrieval impossible without the tools and expertise of a service technician. Also, remember to unplug the machine first. It’s not easy to get an electric shock while trying to clear a paper jam in a copier machine, but it’s happened before. *Other Model Available RICOH MPC3503/MPC5503 RICOH MPC3504/MPC5504 Contact Us: 03-3341 6296 | 018-788 6296 | 018-228 6296

4 Proven Ways to Make Excellent Photocopies

Make the Originals Once you’ve decided to copy something, you should do everything you can to keep the original copy in good condition. Originals that are well cared for always make the best copies, so keep your original in good condition. To maintain a fresh, high-quality appearance, print the originals on heavyweight paper using an inkjet or laser printer whenever possible. If the original is folded or creased, try to remove these as soon as possible. If you try to copy a folded or creased original, the copies will be less clear. Remove any staples or tape as smooth paper feeds through the copy machine much better. Clean the Machine Before you begin copying, wipe down the glass to remove any foreign objects or dirt that may have an effect on your copies. The glass should be cleaned with glass cleaner before being dried with a lint-free cloth. Avoid touching the glass with your finger tips to help keep the machine clean in the future. You should also exercise caution when using sticky notes because the sticky residue can attract dirt, which can damage the machine or harm the original you are attempting to replicate. Use High-Quality Copy Paper You should first decide what weight of paper you want to use. Standard weight is cost-effective and compatible with high-speed copiers. Mid weight paper, which is slightly heavier and suitable for double-sided copies, can be used in copiers and inkjet or laser printers. Heavy weight paper has a smooth finish, but it can slow down copy machines. You can greatly improve the copy clarity by printing the original on heavy weight paper. Set up the Copier The following are the steps you should take to prepare the machine: Turn on the machine by pressing the start button. Arrange your copy sheets on top of one another. Align them with two hands, making sure there are no folded edges or sheets out of place. Place the blank sheets in the paper tray and prepare to copy. Select the machine’s copy feature. If you want text and images to stand out from the background, adjust the contrast. This will improve the clarity and readability of the copies. Select the lightness or darkness. Color photos must be converted to black and white, or they must be lightened. To make light text, colours, or pencil drawings stand out, they must be darkened. First, make a test copy. When prompted to enter a quantity, enter ‘1’ first. This way, you can inspect the outcome to see if you are satisfied with the quality. *Other Model Available RICOH MPC3503/MPC5503 RICOH MPC3504/MPC5504 Contact Us: 03-3341 6296 | 018-788 6296 | 018-228 6296
