For ComColor 1C+ Users

ComColor 1C+ uses black ink and magenta (red) ink. For this reason, a color profile (color conversion mechanism) and printed
colors are different from those of a full-color printer.
Guides of this product are created for a full-color printer as well. Screens and illustrations in these guides are presented as the full-
color printer equipped with options. Note some functions and screen displays are different from those of full-color printer.
Because of varied connectivity of an equipped finisher (optional), some functions are not available.
For differences in options, see the table above.

Unavailable Functions
Some functions, which use a feed tray, an optional finisher, an external controller or the RISO Security Package, are not available
for ComColor 1C+.
Example: Mixed size original, Input tray, Slip sheet, Add cover, Booklet, Punch, Staple, Paper folding, Save to archive, the RISO
security function, etc.

 Screen Displays
Due to dual-color printing, some displays about ink, the printer driver and color modes in copy mode vary.
● Copy mode screen ● Color mode screen ● Computer Window
Remaining ink indicators, Color mode Dual-color, No cyan Color mode

ComColor 1C+ Color Profile

Because a full-color original is represented in two colors: black and magenta (red), non-reddish colors are automatically
converted to black. Below is a result of printing a full-color original with [Dual-color] or [Auto].
Warm colors such as red or yellow are printed in magenta (red), and cold colors such as blue or green in black.

To make the printed colors consistent with those on the original, it is recommended that you create it in two colors.

 Preparations for Use >> Paper and Originals

How you handle the originals and the paper will

significantly affect the copy and print output. It is also
important to know the correct
handling methods and
conditions, because doing so
will prevent problems such as
Paper and Originals paper jamming. This section
describes how to handle
originals and paper.

If you use paper that is not compatible with this machine, it may result in problems such as paper jamming, soiling or
malfunctions.

Even if the paper is within the machine’s “paper size” and “paper weight” specifications, the paper may not be able to pass through
the machine because of the paper’s texture, or conditions such as the environment or storage conditions. For details, please contact
your dealer (or authorized service representative).

Do Not Use These Paper Types

Do not use the following paper types as they will cause problems such as paper jamming or malfunctions.
• Paper that does not comply with the conditions in the basic • Coated paper such as art paper
specifications • Paper with jagged edges
• Paper with a processed surface, such as thermal paper or • Glued paper
carbon paper • Paper with holes
• Curled paper (3 mm (1/8") or more) • Gloss paper for photographs
• Paper with wrinkles • Transparencies (for overhead projectors)
• Bent paper • Synthesized paper (Yupo)
• Torn paper
• Paper with ripples

Paper Storage and Handling

• Always use paper from a sealed package. After finishing the print job, return the unused paper from the standard tray to the
package and store. If you leave the paper in the standard paper feed tray, the paper may curl and cause paper jamming.
• If the paper is not cut very well or if the paper has a textured surface (such as drawing paper), fan the paper before use.
• Store the paper horizontally in a place with low humidity.

Loading Orientation of Originals and Paper

When you are copying on letterhead paper, envelopes, or similar media that already has a logo printed on it, the
orientation of the original and paper is important.

These examples illustrate how to produce one-sided copies of a one-sided original.

 Preparations for Use >> Paper and Originals

Usable Originals
When you connect the optional scanner, you can copy or scan an original by placing it on the platen glass or in the ADF to be
read.
If you use an original that is not compatible with this machine, it may result in problems such as paper jamming, soiling or
malfunctions.

Precautions Regarding Originals

If you used ink or correction fluid on the original, make sure that it has fully dried before setting it.

Even if the originals are within the machine’s specifications, the following types of originals cannot be read using the ADF. Set
them on the platen glass.
• Originals that have been cut and pasted 1
• Originals with significant wrinkling or curling
• Bent originals
• Glued originals
• Originals with holes
• Torn originals or originals with jagged edges
• Originals with high transparency such as transparencies and tracing paper
• Originals with a coating on the front or rear, such as art paper or coated paper
• Thermal paper used in facsimiles or word processors
• Originals with significant bumps on the surface

To Accurate Scanning
• When scanning photos or printed documents, make sure the surface of the original is flat.
• When using transparencies, set white paper behind it so that the original can be clearly read.
• If the original is extremely thin, an image of the rear surface may be taken. You can prevent this by placing black paper
behind the original.
• We recommend that you use an original with a font size of at least 5pt.

 Maintenance >> Routine Care

Handling the Ink Cartridge

Pay attention to the following when handling the ink cartridge.

CAUTION
• Avoid getting ink on your skin or in your eyes.
• Ensure adequate ventilation during printing.
• If you start to feel ill when using the machine, consult a physician immediately.

• We recommend using genuine RISO ink.

• Using ink other than RISO ink may prevent optimal printer performance. Malfunctions and reductions in
performance as a result of using Non-RISO ink not covered by the product warranty or service contract.
• Do not remove the ink cartridge until the ink replacement message is displayed.
• Do not shake the ink cartridge. Shaking will create air bubbles, which may prevent the ink from discharging
properly and result in blurred printing.
• The ink cartridge is made from paper and plastic. Do not drop or damage it.
• Remove the ink cartridge from its plastic bag immediately before inserting it into the machine.
• Do not remove the ink cartridge cap until immediately before using the cartridge.
• After removing the ink cartridge cap, keep the ink supply outlet facing up. If the outlet faces down, ink may
leak out.
• There may be ink on the area where you removed the protective cap. Do not touch it. Ink coming in contact with
clothes will result in permanent stains.
• Do not attempt to refill the ink cartridge.
• To maintain good printing quality, check the manufacturing date and use soon after purchase.

Storing Ink Cartridges

Ink cartridges for this machine are made of paper. For this reason, cartridges may become deformed and unusable if
stored incorrectly or in an unsuitable environment.
Store ink cartridges correctly following these guidelines.
7
• Store ink cartridges in the original package.
• Store ink cartridges in the package, keeping cartridges level and in their “this-side-up” orientation.
• Avoid freezing or placement under direct sunlight. Store in area between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). Do not store in
locations subject to extreme changes in temperature.
• When storing ink after removing it from the plastic bag, store it in the orientation indicated on the cartridge and load it
in the machine promptly.
