What is an Energy Star Copier ?
Energy Star Copiers have a feature that allows them to automatically turn off or "go to sleep" after a period
of inactivity, ensuring night and weekend shut off. This auto-feature can reduce a copier’s annual electricity
costs by over 60 percent. In addition, high speed copiers will be set to automatically make double sided
copies. An organization’s paper costs can be reduced by $60 a month and the volume of paper sent into the
waste stream will decline. It takes 10 times more energy to produce a piece of paper than it does to make a
single copy on a copier. Therefore, using less paper also means decreased national energy consumption.
Recycled Paper (USA market only)
Your Minolta Copier has been designed to use the following Recycled Paper

2. Precautions for Use
Operating Environment
The operating environmental requirements for the copier are as follo ws.
Temperature : 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) with a fluctuation of 10°C (50°F) per hour.
Humidity : 15% to 85% with a fluctuation of 20% per hour.
Using the Copier Properly
To ensure the optimum performance of the copier, follow the precautions listed below.
◆ NEVER place a heavy object on the copier or subject the copier to shocks.
◆ NEVER open any doors, or turn OFF the copier while the copier is making copies.
◆ NEVER bring any magnetized object or use flammable sprays near the copier.
◆ NEVER remodel the copier, as a fire or electrical shock could result.
◆ ALWAYS insert the power plug all the way into the outlet.
◆ ALWAYS make sure that the outlet is visible, clear of the copier or copier cabinet.
◆ ALWAYS provide good ventilation when making a large number of continuous copies.
NOTE
= Locate the Copier in a Well V entilated Room =
A negligible amount of ozone is gener ated during normal operation of this copier. An unpleasant odor
may, however, be created in poorly ventilated rooms during extensive copier operations. For a
comfortable, healthy, and safe operating environment, it is recommended that the room be well
ventilated.
REMARQUE
= Placer le copieur dans une pièce largement ventilée =
Une quantité d’ozone négligable est dégagée pendant le fonctionnement du copieur quand celui-ci est
utilisé normalement. Cependant, une odeur désagréable peut être ressentie dans les pièces dont
l’aération est insuffisante et lorsque une utilisation prolongée du copieur est effectuée. Pour avoir la
certitude de travailler dans un environnement réunissant des conditions de confort, santé et de sécurité,
il est préférable de bien aérer la pièce ou se trouve le copieur.
Moving
If you need to transport the copier over a long distance, consult your Technical Representative.
Care of Copier Supplies
Use the following precautions when handling the copier supplies (toner , paper, etc.)

1. Making Copies
The basic copy made is one that is the same size (100%) as the original.
• In this procedure, the copy is positioned (Step 1), the number of copies is set (Step 4), the Start Key is
pressed (Step 5) and a copy is made that has the same size of paper as the original.
(* In the initial mode, auto exposure and 100% zoom have already been selected.)
Following the steps shown, various adjustments to exposure and zoom ratio can be made.
1. Position the original.
Open the cover and place the original face
down on the glass. (See page 13.)
Chapter 3

2. Positioning the Original
Using the Semi-automatic Document Handler (SDH)
Load the originals into the SDH . This device automatically feeds multiple originals to the copier one at a time so
that continuous copying can be performed. In order to obtain the full potential of this device, use only originals
that meet the following guidelines. Failure to do so will result in paper misfeed and damage to the original.
Guidelines for Originals
Proper Type and Size
Type: Plain paper 50 to 110 g/m
Size: A5L to A4L, Invoice to Legal
Paper Tray Capacity: 50 sheets (Never exceed the b mark indicating maximum capacity.)
Proper Conditions
• Free of staples or other types of fasteners.
• Free of curls, tears, folds or other imperfections.
• Free of sections affixed by tape or glue.
Chapter 3
• Free of processing, such as a carbon transfer coating.
• Transparencies are also not permitted.
Originals not meeting these guidelines should not be used in the SDH. They can be copied by placing
on the glass.

C1159O021DA
C1159O022DA
NOTE
• Size and number of originals: A4 or Letter, up to
50 sheets.
• Never exceed the b mark indicating maximum
capacity.
• Always align the Guide Plates so that they
touch the originals. Failure to do so may cause
the originals to be fed into the copier at an
angle.
C1159O014DA
3. Setting the Number of Copies
Use the Copy Quantity Keys to input the number of copies desired. The number in the display panel will
increase by one each time the one (1) key is pressed and increase by ten each time the ten (10) key is
pressed.
