the electrical outlet.
If an extension cord is unavoidable, do not use one longer than 15 ft. (5 m).
Place the unit on a flat and stable surface (maximum of 3/8 inches (10 mm) differential
allowed). Injury might occur if the unit falls.
Do not place heavy objects on the unit. The objects might fall and cause injury.
Keep the unit away from dusty or humid areas. Otherwise, a fire or an electric shock might
occur.
Unplug the power cord before moving the unit. Otherwise, the power cord might be damaged
and a fire or an electric shock might occur.

Important!
Avoid installing your RISO Printer in the locations listed below. Failure to observe this
precaution may lead to machine failure or human injury.
- Extremely bright locations such as locations close to windows or locations that are exposed
to direct sunlight (provide a curtain if you have no choice but to install your RISO Printer in
such a location)
- Locations that are subject to sudden temperature change
- Extremely hot and humid locations or cold and dry locations
- Heated locations
- Locations exposed to direct cold air, direct hot air, or direct radiant heat
- Badly ventilated locations
- Locations where it is impossible to provide a clearance of 4 inches (10 cm) or wider behind

to fit the paper size. p.20-24
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 margin or reverse the
top and bottom of the original. Then restart printing from the beginning. p.69

Storing Environment
Store printing paper in a level, dry area. Storing the paper in an excessively humid
area could cause paper jams as well as poor print quality.
After unpacking printing paper, keep the remaining paper wrapped and store it in a
moisture-proof box. It is highly recommended to put silica gel in the paper storage box.

Connecting

to a Computer

You can connect your RISO Printer to a computer in two ways, i.e. with direct cable
connection (Local connection mode) and over the public telecommunication lines
(Remote transmission mode).
For direct cable connection, the standard parallel port (IEEE 1284A) is provided on
your RISO Printer.
For data transmission over the public telecommunication lines, on the other hand, the
standard serial port (DB-9) is mounted there.
NOTE An extra network port can be added to enable the connection of standard
Ethernet cables (10Base-T and 100Base-TX) by building the optional network
interface card into your RISO Printer.
p.198

Using the Standard Printer Cable

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

Important!
Always use a commercially available IEEE 1284-compliant printer cable.
Be sure to turn off the personal computer and the RISO Printer when connecting
the cable.
The allowable maximum input / output voltage of the parallel port is 5 V.

Local printer cable

qTo the parallel port of your RISO Printer

wTo the printer port of your Windows PC
NOTE If you want to connect your RISO Printer to a Macintosh or use your RISO
Printer in the LAN (Local area network) environment, you are required to
install the optional network interface card into the RISO Printer and add the
Ethernet network port (RJ45) to allow the connection of the 10Base-T or
100Base-TX Ethernet cable.

32

Connecting to a Computer

Using the Public Telecommunication Lines

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

Important!
This function is available only when the optional Document Memory Card DMC-32
(pre-installed in RP3790) is installed.
Be sure to turn off the modem (or terminal adapter) and the RISO Printer when
connecting the cable.
The allowable maximum input / output 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.

Printing Tickets
The number of duplicated images (tickets) per copy is
determined by the following formula:
[Length of the printing paper] [Width of the ticket]
The range of the width of the tickets to be specified is
shown on the Main Display. The length of the printing
paper is automatically sensed by the printer.
(Example)
Width of the original: 50mm
Length of the printing paper: 297mm (A4 size)
297(mm) 50(mm) = 5 (pieces) with 47 (mm) left over.
In this example, five pieces of tickets will be printed per
copy.

the Registration Mark

You can specify the scanning start point between 0mm and

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 enlargement or reduction is performed, the image
reproduction is made after skipping the registration
mark.
Multi-Up printing is not available when the [Regist. Mark
Skip] function is activated.
