Introduction to Copying
This section describes the flow of basic copy operations. Understanding the flow of
copy operations is useful to learn the machine's basic features, and how to find
information in this manual.
NOTE
For the following items:
- Main power and the Energy Saver mode, see Chapter 1, "Before You Start Using This
Machine," in the Reference Guide.
- Routine maintenance, see Chapter 6, "Routine Maintenance," in the Reference Guide.
If the platen glass is dirty, the output quality may deteriorate. Always keep the platen
glass clean. (See Chapter 6, "Routine Maintenance," in the Reference Guide.)
Do not touch the platen glass cover while copying. Moving the cover can distort the
image being copied.
If large amounts of documents are stored in memory, you may not be able to make a
copy. If the message <MEMORY FULL> appears on the LCD display while making a
copy, print the received documents that are stored in memory, or wait until the current
document transmission completes, and try copying again.

you have set.
LTR originals can be placed either vertically or horizontally. However, the scanning speed
for horizontally placed originals is somewhat slower than for vertically placed originals.
You can place originals horizontally when scanning with a Preset Zoom, such as when
enlarging LTR to 11" x 17" .
Horizontally placed LTR originals are referred to as LTR .
11" x 17" and LGL originals must be placed horizontally.
To get the same output result when you are using the feeder as when the original is
placed on the platen glass, place the original upside-down and face up in the feeder.

Platen Glass
You should use the platen glass when scanning bound originals (such as books
and magazines), originals on heavy or lightweight paper, and transparencies.
1
Lift up the feeder.
IMPORTANT
This machine is equipped with an open/close sensor on the underside of the feeder
(see circled area in the above illustration). When placing originals on the platen
glass, lift the feeder about 11 7/8" (30 cm) so that the sensor detaches from the
underside of the feeder. If the sensor does not detach from the underside of the
feeder, the size of originals may not be detected correctly.
2
Place your original face down.
The surface that you want to scan into memory must be placed face down. Align
the top edge of your original with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow
in the top left corner).
Place books and other bound originals on the platen glass in the same way.
Placing Originals
1-11
If you are enlarging an STMT or LTR original to 11" x 17" or LGL paper, place the
original horizontally on the platen glass, and align it with the STMT or LTR
marks.
3
Gently lower the feeder.
1
Introduction to Copying
CAUTION
Close the feeder gently, to avoid catching your hand, as this may result in
personal injury.
Do not press down hard on the feeder when using the platen glass to make
copies of thick books. Doing so may damage the platen glass and result in
personal injury.
IMPORTANT
If you are placing originals on the platen glass, the size of the original is detected
after the feeder has been lowered. Be sure to lower the feeder before copying.
STMT originals and postcards cannot be detected. Follow the instructions on the
display and specify the original size or select the paper size.
NOTE
Remove the original from the platen glass when scanning is complete.

IMPORTANT
Do not place the following types of originals in the feeder:
- Originals with tears or large binding holes
- Severely curled originals or originals with sharp folds
- Clipped or stapled originals
- Carbon backed paper or other originals that might not feed smoothly
- Transparencies and other highly transparent originals
Avoid scanning the same original using the feeder more than approximately 30 times.
Scanning the same original repeatedly may result in the original becoming folded or torn,
which in turn could cause a paper jam.
If the feeder rollers are dirty from scanning an original written in pencil, perform the
feeder cleaning procedure. (See Chapter 6, "Routine Maintenance," in the Reference Guide.)
