Energy Star Progra m
We have determined as a participating company in the
International Energy Star Program that this product is compliant
with the standards laid out in the International Energy Star
Program.
About the International Energy Star Program
International Energy Star Program has as its basic goals the
promotion of efficient energy use and the reduction of the
environmental pollution that accompanies energy consumption by
promoting the manufacture and sale of products that fulfill
program standards.
International Energy Star Program standards require that copies
come equipped with a “Low Power Mode” where energy
consumption is reduced after a certain amount of time elapses
since the device was last used, as well as an “Off Mode” where the
device automatically turns itself off after there is no activity within
a set amount of time. When the copier includes printer and fax
functions, the printer and fax must enter a “Low Power Mode”
where power consumption is automatically reduced after a certain
amount of time elapses since they were last used, and they must
also support a “Sleep Mode” where power consumption is reduced
to a minimum when there is no activity within a set amount of
time.
This product is equipped with the following features as a result of
its compliance with International Energy Star Program standards.
Low Power Mode
The device automatically enters “Low Power Mode” when 15
minutes have passed since the device was last used. The amount of
time of no activity that must pass before “Low Power Mode” is
activated may be lengthened. See “Low Power mode” for more
information.
Off Mode
The device automatically enters “Off Mode” when 60 minutes have
passed since the device was last used. The amount of time of no
activity that must pass before “Off Mode” is activated may be
lengthened. For more information see “Off mode”.
Paper Recycling
The Energy Star Program encourages the use of environmentally
friendly recycled paper. Your sales or service representative can
provide information about recommended paper types.

Initial mode (the state that the copier enters at the end of
warm-up or when the Reset/Power key is pressed)
The upper drawer is selected as the source for paper feed, the
number of copies to be made is set to “1” and “Text & Photo” is
selected as the image quality mode.
* If the optional Paper Feeder is installed on your copier, it is
possible for you to change which drawer will be automatically
selected in the initial mode. (See “Default Drawer” on
page 6-2.)
* It is also possible for you to change which image quality mode
will be automatically selected in the initial mode. (See “Image
Quality Mode” on page 6-1.)
Auto Clear function
A pre-set number of seconds (between 10 and 270) after copying
stops, the Auto Clear function will automatically engage and the
copier will return to the same settings as those after warm up
(initial mode settings).(However, the copy exposure setting will not
change.) Copies can continually be made using the same settings
(copy mode and number of copies) if the next batch of copying is
started before the Auto Clear function engages.
*See “Auto Clear Time” on page 6-4 for information on changing
the amount of time before the Auto Clear function automatically
engages, and “Auto Clear ON/OFF” on page 6-3 for information
on turning the Auto Clear function ON and OFF.
Auto Drawer Switching function
If two drawers contain the same size of paper and the paper in one
drawer runs out during copying, the Auto Drawer Switching
function will switch paper feed from the empty drawer to the other
drawer that still contains paper so that copying can continue
non-stop.
* The optional Paper Feeder is required in order to use the Auto
Drawer Switching function.
* It is possible for you to turn the Auto Drawer Switching function
OFF. (See “Auto Drawer Switching ON/OFF” on page 6-2.)

Loading paper
Copy paper can either be loaded into the drawer(s) or set on the
multi-bypass tray.
Note when adding paper
After taking new paper out of its packaging, be sure to fan through
them a few times to separate the sheets before loading the paper
into a drawer or setting it on the multi-bypass tray.
IMPORTANT!
• If you ever use paper that has already been copied
onto, be sure NOT to use paper that still has staples or
clips attached to it. Doing so may result in lowered
copying quality or even damage to the copier.
• If you are using paper that has been folded or is curled
at all, straighten it out before loading the paper into a
drawer or setting it on the multi-bypass tray. Failure
to do so may result in a paper jam.
Loading paper into a drawer
Standard copy paper (60 g/m² – 90 g/m²), thick paper (90 g/m² –
105 g/m²), recycled paper, or color paper can be loaded into each
drawer.
Up to 250 sheets of standard copy paper (80 g/m²) can be loaded
into each drawer at one time.
The sizes of paper that can be loaded into the drawers are: A4,
A5R, Folio, 8
(Oficio II).
1/2" × 14" (Legal), 8 1/2" × 11" (Letter) and 8 1/2" × 13"
IMPORTANT!
• When loading copy paper for the first time, or when
changing paper sizes, be sure to use the operation
panel to register the size of paper that will be loaded in
the corresponding drawer. (See page 3-4.)
• When using thick copy paper (90 g/m² – 105 g/m²), be
