3.3.1 Requirements for cassettes
A wide variety of standard cassettes may be
used in the IP C; however, the following restric-
tions must be observed:
• Suitable for printing are all standard cassettes
without lids, of the following dimensions:
Length without lid x Width = max. 41.3 x
28.9 mm
Length with lid x Width = max. 80.0 x 28.9 mm
(Refer also to Technical Data, p. 11 )
• Cassettes with lids attached have to be one-
piece units (23); the lids must not just be linked
to the body by a hinge.
• Cassettes with a flexible hinge cannot be used
unless the lid is detached (25) or closed.
• Cassettes with a closed lid (26) must be
checked to ensure that all four corners of the
lid are firmly closed and flat.
• Cassettes with top-mounted lids (24) cannot
be processed.
• For details on how to correctly insert the
cassettes into the magazines, please refer to
chapter 4.7 .
