Terms and Symbols for the Type of Originals and Copy Paper

A few special terms and symbols are used in this manual to designate types of originals and copy paper. This page explains about these terms and symbols.

Feeding Direction (copy paper path)

In this copier system, copy paper is taken up from the right-hand side of the copier and fed through the copier toward the left-hand side, face up onto the Copy Tray. In the figure below, the direction in which the copy paper is fed, as indicated by the arrow, is called the "feeding direction."

1151O107AA

"Width" and "Length"

When we talk about the size of the original or copy, we call side

A "width" and side B "length."

A:Width

B:Length

139O1610A

Terms and Symbols Used

<Lengthwise >

When the original or copy has a "length" longer than its "width," we call it "lengthwise" and use symbol "L" or "

1139O1610A

<Crosswise >

When the original or copy has a "length" shorter than its "width," we call it "crosswise" and use symbol "C" or "."

Safety Notes Chapter 1

Installation Site

To ensure utmost safety and prevent possible malfunctions of the copier, install it in a location which meets the following requirements.

u A place away from a curtain or the like that may catch fire and burn easily.

uAn area where there is no possibility of being splashed with water or other types of

liquid.

u An area free from direct sunlight.

u A place out of the direct air stream of an air conditioner, heater, or ventilator.

u A well-ventilated place. u A dry place.

A dust-free location.

An area not subject to undue vibration. A stable and level location.

A place which does not put the operator in the direct stream of exhaust from the copier.

uA place which is not near any kind of heating device.

Power Source

The power source voltage requirements are as follows.

u Use a power source with little voltage fluctuation.

Voltage Fluctuation	:	Within ± 10%
Frequency Fluctuation	:	Within ± 0.3%

2. Precautions for Use

Operating Environment

The operating environmental requirements of the copier are as follows.

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.

u NEVER place a heavy object on the copier or subject the copier to shocks.

u NEVER open any doors, or turn OFF the copier while the copier is making copies. u NEVER bring any magnetized object or use flammable sprays near the copier.

u ALWAYS insert the power plug all the way into the outlet.

u ALWAYS make sure that the outlet is visible, clear of the copier or copier cabinet.

u ALWAYS provide good ventilation when making a large number of continuous copies.

NOTE

= Locate the Copier in a Well Ventilated Room =

A negligible amount of ozone is generated 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 lors que 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 the Copier

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.).

u Store the paper, toner, and other supplies in a place free from direct sunlight and away from any heating apparatus. Keep them in a dry, cool, clean environment.

u Store paper, which has been removed from its wrapper but not loaded into the drawer, in a sealed plastic bag in a cool, dark place.

u Keep supplies out of the reach of children.

u If your hands become soiled with toner, wash them with soap and water immediately.

Panel Resetting

The Panel Reset key resets all control panel settings to default settings including the number of copies and zoom ratio.

*If a document feeder is used, any original left on the Glass will be ejected out of the unit.

Useful Tips

•The Panel Reset key enables you to cancel all previous settings at the touch of the key.

•To avoid miscopy, try to press this key before making any setting for your own copy job.

Auto Panel Reset

If no key on the control panel is pressed within 60 sec. after a copy cycle has been completed or copying settings made, the Auto Panel Reset function is activated to return the copier to the default settings.

Useful Tip

The time for the copier to enter the Auto Panel Reset Function can be changed to 30 sec. p. 86

Auto Power-OFF

The Auto Power-OFF function shuts down the copier a given period time after the copier has been used last.

Useful Tip

The time for the copier to enter the Auto Power-OFF mode can be selected from 1 to 120 min. The Auto Power-OFF function can even be disabled.

For details, see User’s Choice. p. 88

Energy Saver

If the copier is shut down when it is not in use, it takes the copier some time to complete the warm-up cycle. Instead of turning the copier OFF, it’s a good idea to use the Energy Saver mode which will minimize the time for the copier to complete the warm-up cycle to about 30 sec.

To set the copier into the Energy Saver mode, you need only to press the Energy Saver key. Or, a given period of time after the copier has been touched last, it automatically enters the Energy Saver mode. The initial setting is 15 min.

To cancel the Energy Saver mode, press any key on the control panel.

Useful Tip

Auto Copy Start

If you load originals in the document feeder and press the Start key while the copier is warming up after it has been turned ON, the Auto Copy Start function allows that copy process to be started as soon as the copier completes warming up.

The time for the copier to enter the Energy Saver mode can be selected from 1 to 120 min.

For details, see User’s Choice. p. 86

NOTE

The copier is automatically shut down if the Auto Power-OFF function is activated while it is in the Energy Saver mode.

7. Auxiliary Functions

Interrupt

The Interrupt function allows you to interrupt a current job and run a different one. Pressing the Interrupt key once sets the copier into the Interrupt mode. Pressing the key again lets the copier leave the Interrupt mode, returning to the previous settings.

Useful Tips

•If the current job involves 2-sided copying, Cover function, Page Insertion or OHP Interleaving, the copier rejects an Interrupt cycle.

•If the current job involves a finishing function other than Non-Sort, Non-Sort is automatically selected at the same time when an Interrupt function is invoked.

Mode Check

By pressing the Mode Check key on the control panel, you can either check for or change the current settings.

Access Number

If an access number has been programmed, it allows only particular persons to use the copier or a supervisor to keep track of the number of copies made by a particular department.

NOTES

•If an access number has been programmed, a copy cycle can be initiated only after the access number has been input to the copier.

1. Basic Copying Overview

One of the most basic copying jobs is to make full-size (× 1.000) copies of the original.

•Place the original in position (step 1), set the number of copies to be made (step 8), and press the Start key (step 9). This will allow you to make full-size copies on paper of the same size as the original.

(*Automatically selected in the initial mode are Auto Paper, full size, and Auto Exposure.)

The selections you make on the Touch Panel will change the exposure level, zoom ratio, the type of copy and so on.
