● Precautions for Use

WARNING
● If the machine is used after foreign matter (metal fragments, water, or liquid) has
entered the machine, this may result in fire or electric shock.
→ Turn the main unit’s power switch OFF, and then remove the power plug from
the outlet. Contact the sales distributor.

Notes on Safety (Please Read and Observe)

● Caution for Grounding

WARNING
● Use only the power cord that is provided among the accessories.
Insert the power cord plug firmly into the socket, so that proper electrical contact
is effected.
→ Use of any other power cord could result in imperfect grounding.
If grounding is imperfect and electrical leakage occurs, fire or electric shock
could result.

● Caution for Power Supply and Power Cord

WARNING
● Use only the power cord that is provided among the accessories. The power cord
is only for this product. Never use it for another product.
● Do not use a source voltage other than that specified.
Do not connect two or more loads to a single outlet.
→ Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

● Be sure to remove dust from the power plug and/or the outlet.
Using these without removing dust may have minute electric current flow to the
surface due to the humidity and cause a fire due to the heat.
→ It may cause a fire or electric shock.

● Do not remove or insert the power plug with wet hands.


→ Doing so may result in electric shock.

● Do not damage, break, or modify the power cord.


Do not place heavy objects on, tug or bend it unnecessarily.
→ Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

● Remove the power plug itself, not the cord.


→ Tugging the cord may damage it (expose conductors, or cause disconnections,
etc.), resulting in fire or electric shock.

REG Mark (Registration mark) * Optional on 230V model
The DC-646 automatically compensates for image drift, one of the common problems on
digital printers. It detects the image drift caused on each page by reading REG mark with
built-in CCD scanner and adjusts the cut / slit / crease position accordingly.

To use this function, each document must have REG mark printed on them. Please refer to
the following instructions for specifications and position of REG mark.

Document feed direction


1. Specifications
REG mark consists of two straight and
perpendicular lines.

Line length : 5 mm or more / each


Line thickness : 0.4 mm or more / each

Lead mark: corrects

Before Programming JOB
The DC-646 includes DC-646 115V, DC-646 230V, and DC-646 230V(PRO).
Display on the LCD panel differs depending on model.

The DC-646 can save up to 80 patterns of JOB.


This chapter describes how to program and change a JOB on the control panel of the DC-646.

Before programming a JOB, accurately measure the positions of slits, cuts and creases in
mm/inch. Familiarize yourself with the following illustrations and instructions to make the
programming process easy and trouble free.

Slitter : There are a total of six slitters. Two slitters are for the margins and the remaining
four slitters are for the center of the document.
Cutter : There is a guillotine cutter that performs cuts perpendicular to the document feed
direction. The DC-646 can cut up to 25 cuts on one document.
Creaser : There is a creaser that performs creases perpendicular to the document feed
direction. The DC-646 can crease up to 20 positions on one document.

The DC-646 provides two programming modes, Advanced mode and Simple mode. You can
select either mode by your preference. When programming a JOB in Simple mode, select
“Simple mode” in “Settings2” before programming.
Advanced mode : You need to select module for the slot 2 to slot 4 before entering
processing position. You can set slit position alternately from side to side
in order of module along the document feed direction. The screen displays
“Slit1” to ”Slit6.”
* Screens for “Slit3” and the rest of the Slit are not displayed depending on
the combination of module in the slots.
Simple mode : Optimum module setup in the slot 2 to slot 4 is displayed by entering processing
position. You can set slit position in order, from the right side of the document
along the document feed direction. The screen displays “SlitA” to ”SlitF.”

Cut Trim Mode


There are three modes in this function.
● Full bleed mode : The area (lead margin) between the lead edge and first cut, the area (trail
margin) between the last cut and trail edge, and the area (gutter) (0–48.9
mm long) between two cuts are considered to be waste, and are chopped
up and dropped into waste box.
● No bleed mode : Gutters of 48.9 mm or shorter are chopped up and dropped into the waste box.
● Process all : All of the cut pieces are ejected to the exit tray, except that lead margin
and gutters of 27.9 mm or shorter and the trail margin of 48.9 mm or
shorter are chopped up and dropped into the waste box.

Air knife
This is used when double feed occurs frequently.
Compressed air is blown out from the front of the document to loosen the documents,
preventing double feed.

33
Side blow fan (Optional)
Air is blown out from the side of the document to loosen the documents, preventing double
feed.

Fan reg (Fan register)

Basic Operations
This suctions the document to the conveyance belt for skew correction.

Read REG mark (Optional on 230V model)


This sets operation mode when sensing the REG mark. Sensing the REG mark and handling
operations at the regular position improve accuracy of documents handling.

Slitter guide
When any slitters are not in use for performing a JOB, these slitters act as document guide
to stabilize the document conveyance.
Recommended for light weight document.

Cut trim mode


Lead margin, trail margin, and any gutter cuts (48.9 mm or shorter) are chopped up and
dropped into the waste box. If there is no lead margin or trail margin on the document, select
“No bleed mode.”

Crease depth
This sets the depth of the crease when creasing a document. Usually set to MID. Set to MAX
for heavy weight document and MIN for light weight document.

Speed
This is used to select processing speed from FAST and SLOW.

Auto trail cut


The trail margin of the document is chopped up.
ON : Appropriate cutting or chopping is processed by automatic calculation.
OFF : No cutting or no chopping is processed in any length of the trail margin.

This sets whether to execute automatic setup when reading a barcode.

Reject (Optional on 230V model)


Double-fed documents or documents with reading error (REG mark or Barcode) are ejected
to the reject tray automatically.

Waste compactor (Optional)


This makes the lopsided waste in the waste box even.

Waste detection
This sets the detection timing of waste box full. When waste box full is detected, waste box
full message appears on the LCD panel.

Feeder capacity
The elevator level can be adjusted to three levels according to the document quantity.

Basic mode
You can select “Simple mode” or “Advanced mode” for entering a JOB.

Apply shrinkage
In case printed documents are shrunk by heat generated on digital printer, by entering the
original document size and document size after shrunk, DC-646 automatically calculates the
shrinkage ratio and adjusts the cutting and creasing position accordingly.
This function compensates for the shrinkage in the feed direction only.

IMPORTANT
● Functions of Air knife, Side blow fan, Fan reg, Read REG mark and Slitter guide, Cut
trim mode, Crease depth and Speed are normally set when programming a JOB.
● These settings memorized when programming JOB take priority over those set by

About Slitter Tool Intersection Correction


When a heavy weight document is jammed in the slitter area, if you pull out the document by
force, the slitter upper tool and the lower tool may intersect each other.
Also, when the document cannot be slit or conveyed, the tools may have intersected.
In this case, follow the procedures below to correct the upper tool or lower tool position.

REFERENCE
Slitters differ in shape depending on module.
The slitter 3 and the slitter 4 are the same in shape. (→ P.18 “Before Preparing
Document”)
The slitter 5 and the slitter 6 are the same in shape. (→ P.18 “Before Preparing
