Manuals Provided with the Océ 3121 Series

We have prepared the following manuals so that you can make full use of the Océ 3121 Series
functions. The Copying Manual and Reference Manual (English versions) are packed together with all
of the main units in this product series. When other functions such as FAX functions are provided as
part of the standard specification, the function related manual (English versions) for the respective
function also is packed together with the main units. When FAX functions or printer functions are added
on later, the required function related manual is also packed together with the following boards
(optional). We recommend using these function related manuals in combination with the Reference
Manual.

Differences between Copying Manual and
Reference Manual

The Océ 3121 Series can be expanded to support non-copy functions such as, FAX and printer
functions. Accordingly, you are provided with a Reference Manual, Copying Manual, and a Facsimile
Manual.

Reference Manual: Describes operations common to all machines such as how to turn the

power ON, how to inspect and maintain machines, and how to handle
and set common functions.

Function related manual: Describes how to handle each of the functions such as copy and FAX

functions.

Descriptions of copy functions are distributed between the Reference Manual and Copying Manual as
follows. We recommend that you use these manuals according to your particular needs. At the back of
this Copying Manual, you will also find indexes that list the combined functions of the Reference
Manual and Copying Manual.

the image may be cut off on
copies. Using the Entire Image
mode, the image is slightly
reduced before copying so that
the entire original image is
reproduced on the copy.
