NTRODUCTION
Congratulations on choosing this Multi Function Product (MFP). It i s d esi gn ed w it h a d va nc e d
features, to give you clear, vibrant colour prints and crisp black and white pages at high
speed on a range of office print media.
With this MFP, you can instantly scan paper-based documents and deliver the electronic
image to various destinations including e-mail addresses, printers, ftp servers or someone
else's computer on the network. This MFP also has a “walk-up” fax facility allowing you to
send your documents to a destination fax number instantly.
Your MFP includes these features:
>Multi-tasking to allow scanning one job while printing another to ensure greater
productivity.
>Digital Copying - An intuitive control panel, makes digital copying fast and easy.
>Up to 600 x 600dpi (dots per inch) copy resolution.
>Actkey utility - enables the MFP to receive one key touch commands from a locally
connected computer (“pull scan”).
>Scan to E-mail - Connected to an Ethernet network and a SMTP server, this MFP
allows you to transmit document(s) over the internet via e-mail. With a touch of the
e-mail on-screen button and the selection of your recipients' e-mail addresses, the
document(s) is/are first scanned and converted into an image file, and then
transmitted to remote recipients within minutes.
>Scan to Network PC - Allows you to send scanned documents to a server or a
personal computer's file folder over an intranet with FTP (File Transfer Protocol),
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), CIFS (Common Internet File System) protocol.
The scan to filing feature removes the need for the mail server to handle large
attachments.
>Multiple Pages Sending - With the Auto Document Feeder (ADF), the MFP allows a
stack of up to 50 page document(s) to be continuously scanned.

When the rear paper stacker is folded down paper exits the printer through the rear of the
printer and is stacked here face up. This is mainly used for heavy print media. When used
in conjunction with the multi purpose feed tray, the paper path through the printer is
essentially straight. This avoids bending the paper around curves in the paper path and
enables feeding of up to 220g/m² media.
