Page 50 Basic Operations Red Colour Separates the colours of an original printed in black and light red. The master of the black portion of the original is created on Drum 1, the red portion on Drum 2 (drums are reversed if [Sw.Colour] is selected). Drum 1 Drum 2 (black portion)
Page 51 Separates handwriting written using the recommended pen or red pencil on originals from black printed images by a RISO printer or ink-jet printer (documents printed with a lighter shade of black, or with water-based ink, etc.). The master of the prior original is created on Drum 1, the handwritten portion on Drum 2 (drums are reversed if [Sw.Colour] is selected).
Page 52 Basic Operations Separation Sheet Separates the original using a separate sheet (Area Specification Sheet) that is written on using the recommended pen for the desired area. The master of the portion outside the specified area is created on Drum 1, the portion within on Drum 2 (drums are reversed if [Sw.Colour] is selected).
Page 53 Basic Operations Tip: About the Specified Area, Separation Sheet Use the recommended pen to create the area to be specified. If you specify the area with a non-recommended pen, separation may not properly occur. • Make sure to properly connect the edges of the area you draw with the pen. If the edges are not connected, the specified area may not be recognized.
