2. Machine transportation
Machine installation
Do not tilt HC5000 more than 20 degree
If there in no elevator in the building,
a crane truck is needed for machine installation.

3. Machine transportation
Moving machine
Repack the machine if moved after unpacked
Do not throw away repacking item (Wire tie and PP band)

4. Limited capability of HC5000
1) Paper restriction
2) Ripping /Printing speed
3) Temperature /Humidity
4) Print Heads

5. Limited capability of HC5000
1) Paper restriction
No curled paper / No wavy paper
No thick paper
No envelope
Even if above paper can feed without paper jam, Print Head gets damage.
Basic specification of Paper weight
Standard PF Tray 46g/m g/m2
Paper feed Trays 52g/m g/m2

6. Limited capability of HC5000
2) Ripping /Printing speed
Maximum pages of one print job
1500 pages maximum in case of A4 size
Ripping speed/Printing speed
We don’t recommend to sell HC5000 to a customer who wants variable printing with high-speed.

Making a print job
Processing speed depends on the performance of PC
Sending the job to PS7R
PostScript data is stored on HDD
Processing image data
PS data is changed to image data
-The job with many pages
-600 dpi Printing take long time
-Line smoothing
ex.) Ripping time of HC user's guide (189Pages). 300X300dpi Line smoothing ON => 43min. 300X300dpi Line smoothing OFF=> 9min. 300X600dpi Line smoothing ON => 77min. 300X600dpi Line smoothing OFF=> 16min.

Store image data
Regardless print job type, image data is produced as A4 size.
To store image data, HDD spends approx. 20MB/page.
Maximum page is 1500 pages. (=30GB/ 20MB) *A4 size
Sending the image data to HC5000
Image data on HDD sends to HC main PCB by USB cable.
The transfer speed is slower than HC printing speed.
Printing
Printing speed is set as paper size and paper type, but.
When data on HC main PCB is empty, HC has to wait for the image data from PS7R.

1500 pages maximum in case of A4 size
Ripping speed/Printing speed
We don’t recommend to sell HC5000 to a customer who wants variable printing with high-speed.
HC5000 can print with High speed same original like Risograph.
Variable, Duplex and Booklet printing with many pages make HC5000 slow.

10. Limited capability of HC5000
3) Temperature / Humidity
Temperature range:15°C to 30°C
Low temp. may stop the machine until ink warms up.
High temp. may stop the machine until Print Head gets cool down.
Humidity range:40% to 70%
Change of humidity may make paper curl.

11. Print Heads 4) Print Head alignment
Overlap between adjacent Print Heads
Print heads overlap and cause banding on prints from lead edge to trail edge
Lead edge of Print
Overlap setting is not to be noticed the difference between adjacent Print Head.
Power voltage setting is to adjust Print Density of each Print Head.
Print Head adjustment software assist you to adjust Print Head setting.

12. Control of the License of PS7R
PS7R is designed to control the Adobe license by Hardware-key (Dongle)
Dongle is not a spare part at the moment, if dongle is damaged, a new PS7R will have to be purchased.
