Introduction 1-3
Introduction
Product Overview
This machine is a digital printer/copier that can be used as a stand-alone copier, or it
can be used as a high-speed network printer when connected to the optional printer
controller Image Processor.
This machine can also be used as a print server on a network operating system.
Separate user’s manuals and installation instructions are included with the optional
printer controller device.
Digital technology and memory capability of this machine provide many advantages over
the conventional photocopying process.
In conventional photocopying, a scanned image virtually remains intact as it is
represented on the drum and then copied onto the output media. While many
conventional settings can be made before outputting the copies to effect image
reduction, lens adjustment, image erasure and job store, etc., the conventional
photocopying process cannot transform the image into bits or store image data into
memory.
In this machine, a scanned image is electronically digitized into data bits that are
represented in code form and stored into memory. Stored data can be retrieved from
memory and output in various ways, as controlled by software. Digitized image is
represented as pixels on a screen or as dots per inch (dpi) on hard copy. This machine
resolves image in the copier mode at 400/600 dpi and resolves image in the printer
mode at 600 dpi.
The digital technology of this machine enables you to:
• feed originals only once to make multiple copies, thereby preserving the condition of
originals
• store image in memory and perform Sheet/Cover insertion, Chapter, Combination,
Booklet, Image insert, Book copy, Program job, Mixed original, Repeat, Image shift,
Stamp/Overlay
• enhance photo, complex text image quality, and enhance lighter image
• reduce toner consumption and produce clean copies with Non-image area erase
• organize images into booklet format
• insert images scanned from the platen into a set scanned from the document feeder
• check copying conditions and produce a proof copy before making multiple copied sets
using optional Finisher (2 Paper Tray/3 Paper Tray)
• set reserve jobs to make copies of different types in succession
• lay stamp, watermark, or scanned image onto copy image
• store image data in HDD (option) for future printing

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
■ Cautions when using the copier
WARNING
• DO NOT place metallic objects or containers with water (flower vases, flower
pots, cups, etc.) on or near the copier. This type of situation presents a danger
of fire or electrical shock should they fall inside. ...................................................
• DO NOT remove any of the covers from the copier as there is a danger of
electrical shock from high voltage parts inside the copier. ....................................
• DO NOT damage, break or attempt to repair the power cord. DO NOT place
heavy objects on the cord, pull it, bend it unnecessarily or cause any other type
of damage.
These types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock. .................
• NEVER attempt to repair or disassemble the copier or its parts as there is a
danger of fire, electrical shock or damage to the laser. If the laser beam
escapes, there is a danger of it causing blindness................................................
• If the copier becomes excessively hot, smoke appears from the copier, there is
an odd smell, or any other abnormal situation occurs, there is a danger of fire or
electrical shock. Turn the main switch OFF (O) immediately, remove the power
plug from the outlet and contact your service representative................................
• If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into the copier, turn
the main switch OFF (O) immediately. Next, remove the power plug from the
outlet to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock. Then contact your service
• DO NOT pull the power cord when removing it from the outlet. If the power cord
is pulled, the wires may become broken and there is a danger of fire or electrical
shock. (ALWAYS grasp the power plug when removing the power cord from the
