Safety Information

1.Laser Safety

This Product is certified as a Class 1 laser product under EN60825-1:1994. This means that the product does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

Since radiation emitted inside the product is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam can not escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

2.Additional Information

When servicing or adjusting the optical system of the product, be careful not to place screwdrivers or other shiny objects in the path of the laser beam. Also, accessories such as watches and rings should be removed before working on the product. The reflected beam, even though visible or invisible, can permanently damage your eyes.

The following label is attached to the main unit where there is danger of exposure to laser radiation:

Operation of the Machine and Terms Used in This

Manual

This machine makes effective use of memory in order to perform print operations efficiently. For example, as soon as the machine has scanned the original that you want to copy, it can immediately scan the next person’s original. You can also print from this machine, using a function other than the Copy function. In this machine, these operations take place in a complex way, so that not only copies, but also various kinds of prints may sometimes have to wait their turn before they can be output.

To avoid confusion when reading this manual, the term “printing” used throughout this manual is defined as set out below. The scanning of an original when making a copy, and the process of making a print, are described separately.

Printing

Outputting a copy, outputting data stored in a mail box, or outputting data sent from a personal computer to the machine.

This chapter describes the menu functions and how to access them with the touch panel display.

What Are Menu Functions?

The machine lets you specify the number of copies, the paper size, etc., to use when it receives a print job. Normally, however, these types of settings are specified by the application sending the print job, or by the printer driver.

However, you can specify many other settings other than the number of copies, the paper size, etc., which affect the printer function of the machine. These include some settings that cannot be specified from an application or the printer driver. These settings are referred to as “Menu Functions.”

The menu functions are set using the keys on the touch panel display and are grouped together depending on the type of settings performed. This makes them easy to set.

NOTE

•The contents of the Printer Settings are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the machine. This means that the settings are stored even if the power to the machine is switched off - the settings will still be available when the power is switched on again.

Understanding the Printer Settings Priorities

When the same menu function setting can be specified by using the keys on the machine, or by specifying the setting in an application or the printer driver, the setting from the application or printer driver has priority. These settings will override the settings made on the machine.

	Setting priority
High			Low
Application			Touch panel display
Printer driver

•The Windows printer driver is included on the CD-ROM provided with the machine. For instructions on installing the printer driver, see the Setup Guide.

Accessing the Menus

To access the printer related menu functions, display the Printer Settings screen on the touch panel display and use the keys on the display to specify the settings.

IMPORTANT

•You can access menus and modify settings while print jobs are waiting in the queue. However, any new settings will only affect print jobs sent to the queue after making the modifications.
