No. Item Description

2 Paper separation In the current version, the right side of an original is blank on its copy and

an additional blank sheet is delivered when the density is changed at the
same time as the scanning lamp turns on in the home position following a
press on the Copy Start key in page separation direct mode.
In the upgraded version, this problem has been corrected.

3 Manual feed paper size

indication

4 Control card indication In the current version, the card number and the counter reading turns '0'

5 MODEL_SZ setting In the current version, the MODEL_SZ setting is not made effective

6 Originals of mixed sizes

with DADF-B1 in use

7 Reduce mode with DADF-

B1 in use

In the current version, the message "Select a paper size" is indicated in the
manual feed paper size window.
In the upgraded version, the message reads "Select a manual feed size."

when the power is turned off and then on while a control card is kept
inside after the end of copying operation.
In the upgraded version, this problem has been corrected. (The machine is
reset by sliding out and then in the card, entering key input, and placing
originals.)
(Note, however, that counting continues normally even when the counter
indication has turned '0'.)

unless the power is turned off and then on.
In the upgraded version, it is made effective as soon as the change is
made.

In the current version, the message "Put the first page first" appears when
an A3 original is mixed after setting '26 ipm' while the DADF-B1 is in use,
suspending the job in the middle at the same time.
In the upgraded version, this problem has been corrected.
This problem is limited to when the DADF-B1 is installed.

In the current version, copying operation is performed by executing
reading and printing (in memory copying mode), with reading normally
ending earlier than printing.
When copying at 50% or lower, printing at times ends earlier than reading,
causing the machine to go awry and resetting itself.
In the upgraded version, this problem has been corrected.
Note that this problem is limited to a machine equipped with a DADF-B1.

placed vertically in keeping with the specifications of the printer.
In the upgraded version, printing is executed by rotating the image (if

No. Item Description

12 Print job suspension In the current version, processing of images from the PDL Board take

time, allowing the execution of another job (e.g., copying) if it takes more
than 15 sec. The current specifications are designed to suspend the
ongoing print job, and a hang-up will occur if paper jams in the copier.
In the updated version, this problem has been corrected.

13 Mail box file deletion In the current version, registering a file in the mail box at a specific time

can cause deletion of the file with a delay of 1 hr for deletion.
In the current version, this problem has been corrected.

communications results
reports with an image

In the current version, a text area can be affected by irrelevant data,
making the area illegible on a communications results report with an

In the upgraded version, the lamp is designed to flash.
In standby state, the lamp flashes to indicate normal operation.
