2. Setting originals

What is the DF for?

The DF (Document Feeder) automatically feeds and scans each original, one by one, for copying. When you make copies from two-sided originals, it will automatically turn the originals over in order to copy the reverse side as well.

Originals that can be set in the DF...

Cautions when using the DF

DO NOT set originals of the follow types in the DF. In addition, when using perforated sheets or originals with punch holes, DO NOT insert the end with the perforations or

holes first.

l Transparencies

Carbon paper, crumpled originals or originals with strong folds, and soft originals such

as vinyl

l Originals which are not rectangular, wet originals, and originals with adhesive tape or

glue

Originals with clips or staples (In order to use such originals, remove the clips or staples

and straighten any crumples or folds before using them.)

l Clippings or originals with very slippery surfaces

Originals with wet correction fluid

l Originals with folds (If you must use such originals, smooth out the folded portions

before setting them in the DF.)

Setting originals in the DF

1. Adjust the original insert guides to fit the size of the originals.

l Before setting any new originals, remove any originals that are remaining on the

original ejection table. If ejected originals are left on the original ejection table, they may cause other originals to misfeed.

2. Arrange the originals in order and set them face up (first page face up for two-sided

originals) onto the original table. The original set indicator will light green. If the indica-

tor does not light, reset the originals in the DF.

IMPORTANT!

DO NOT set more originals than indicated on the sticker that is attached to the rear original insert guide. If more than the acceptable number of originals is set, the originals may not feed properly.

l When setting large size originals such as

8-1/2”

x 14” and

11”

x 17”

(B4,

Folio,

A3), open the original ejection guide to prevent the ejected originals from sliding off the original ejection table.

IMPORTANT!

When copying from two-sided originals, each original will be ejected temporarily out of the original reversing cover before being turned over. DO NOT touch or attempt to re-

move any original at this time as it will cause a misfeed error.

Section 3 PREPARATIONS

Auto selection mode

The copier will automatically detect the size of each original and select paper of that same size to copy onto.

POINT OF INFORMATION

Add toner when “ADD TONER TO RESUME COPYING.” appears in the message dis-

play.

* DO NOT add toner unless this message is displayed. *Touch the “? TONER” key on the touch panel to display the procedure for adding toner.

CAUTION

Do not incinerate toner and toner containers. Dangerous sparks may cause burns.

Section 3 PREPARATIONS

Open the cover on the right side of the operation panel.

2. Turn the new toner bottle upside down and tap the bottom about 10 times or so.

3. Hold the bottle firmly and shake up the contents by turning it upside down and then right-side up 10 or more times in the manner shown in the illustration.

4. Next, hold the bottle horizontally and shake it back and forth 10 or more times.

6. Fit the hole in the toner bottle (located below the V) over the metal pin @that protruding out of the toner supply slot.

6. Turn the bottle clockwise 90 degrees and the toner in the bottle will be emptied into the copier.

Be sure to turn the bottle all the way until it stops, so that the + on the bottle is

aligned with the A on the main body of the copier.

Wait about 60 seconds and then tap the sides of the bottle in order to get all of the remaining toner out.

Turn the toner bottle back counterclockwise to its original position and slowly remove it from the toner supply slot.

Close the cover on the right side of the operation panel.

Section 4 BASIC OPERATION

Two-sided copying from two-page [open-face] originals

Each page of two-page [open-face] originals, such as magazines and books, is copied on

separate sides of the copy paper with a single press of the Start key.

In this operation it is necessary to specify the binding orientation of the originals:

LEFT: The left page of the originals is copied first followed by the right page.

RIGHT: The right page of the originals is copied first followed by the left page.

POINT OF INFORMATION

The size of originals that can be used in this mode is limited to A3, A4R and A5R.

Two-sided copying from one-sided originals

The images from one-sided originals are copied onto both sides (front and back) of the copy

paper. When there is an odd number of originals, the back side of the last copy will be blank.
