Changing the Default Value for the Binding Margin
Until the last model, the default value for the binding margin was "5 mm on the right (on the back of the
sheet)" when copying on both sides, in order to align the prints on both sides when punching. This has
occasionally caused the paper edges to appear on the printed copies.
Thus, in this series, the default value for the binding margin is changed to "0 mm on the right (on the
back of the sheet)" and the default value to mask the paper edge (SP mode) is also changed to reduce
the chance of the black streak appearing.

From the usual non-helical gears [A], we increased
the use of helical gears [B] to increase the efficiency
of engagement. This has also reduced the rattling
noise due to the increased gear engagement.
Grease is applied to over 100 parts, including gears,
shafts, and bearings, to reduce the driving noise.
