COPYING Leaving A Blank Margin At The Leading Edge

Leaving A Blank Margin At The Leading Edge

You can create a blank margin at the top of the copy (fig. a, the leading edge), or have the leading edge of the image bleed off the copy (fig. b) . The copier does this by shifting the entire image backward or forward according to the margin you set.

With the roll feeder, the length of the margin does of the paper. If you want to create a blank margin at the trailing edge, simply set the paper length a little longer than the total length of the original and lead margin. Set the margin

a) Margin

Example: Leaving a blank margin at the top of your copy

Suppose you are copying a vertical A2 size diagram (about 17" x 22") to a sheet of the same size. The diagram has a 5 cm (2") margin all around, but you want a 10 cm (4") margin at the top to give you space to write notes.

b) Bleed image

Make your copy following the instructions on page 1. When you reach step 3 on page 1, follow the key strokes on the next page.

Leaving A Blank Margin At The Leading Edge COPYING

Press the Functi on Select key until the arrow point s at Lead Mar gin.

Press the + key until the display shows 5.0.

When you have the margin y ou want, c ontinue as for any oth er copy. Y ou will obtain a co py with a 10 cm (4") blank ma rgin at the top (5 cm set by you plus 5 cm on the original) and no margin at the bottom.

The margin is displayed here,

millimeters.

If the original had no blank margin surrounding it, you would have obtained a copy with a 5 cm blank margin at the leading edge, and with the bottom 5 cm of the original cut of f the copy.

Example: Leaving a blank margin at the bottom of your copy

Suppose in the first example you had instead wanted the margin at the bottom of your copy instead of the top. In that case, in step ¸ above, you would have had to press the - key until -5.0 appeared in the display. The image would have been shifted forward on the copy and a 10 cm margin would have been left at the bottom of the copy ( 5 cm set b y you plu s 5 c m on t he o r ig in al ) and no mar gin at the top.

COPYING Copying Only A Selected Portion Of The Original

Copying Only A Selected Portion Of The Original

You can copy a portion of the original instead of the entire original. Press and hold the Function Select key for at least three seconds to tell the copier to copy only a portion of the or iginal. A “ P” ( for Partial) will start blinking in the lead margin display. Then, proceed as for a usual copy, with a sheet of paper or with the roll feeder.

As the origi nal is fed i nto the copier, press the Functio n Select key when the beginning of the part y ou want t o copy (a) goes in; the “P” will stop blinking and stay on. Press the Function Select key again when the end of that part (b ) goes in; the “P” will start blinking again.

Finally, press and hold the Functi on Sel ect key for another 3 seconds to turn the function off.

COPYING Using The Rear Table—Originals That Can’t Be Bent

Using The Rear Table—Originals That Can’t Be Bent

You can feed originals from the rear of the copier. This way, the original will not turn inside the machine, but will trav el s traight through. Use the rear table to copy originals that can’t or s houldn’t be bent.

Do not insert originals thicker than 3m m (about 1/ 8").

1. Lower the exit copy guide.

2. Remove the exit copy holder.

3. Proceed as for a usual copy with or without the roll feeder. However, do not set the original on the original table. See step 4.

4. When the Set Original indicator lights up on the operation panel, insert the original face down.

5. If your original is longer than 800 mm (31", larger than A0) hold it up as the copier takes it in.

Copying To Different Media COPYING

Copying To Different Media

If you copy to film or vellum (translucent or tracing paper) you need to set the copy media, otherwise the copy might come out creased or wavy.

To make a copy, the copier deposits a layer of black resin powder, called toner, on the copy paper. It then applies heat so that the toner melts and fuses to the paper. Some papers require more heat to fuse well, others less. Press the copy media key to select a type of paper, but for most kinds of plain paper both indicators should be of f.

The next time you turn the copier on or press the Clear Modes key, the settings you programmed in s tep 3 will be in effect.

What Your Service Represent ative Can Change

Your service representative can adjust some of your copier’s features. Here’s a list of changes the servic e representativ e can make for you.

Copy media default: The copy media setting can be adjusted to match the kind of paper you use.

Count up and count down: The copy counter can be made to count up or count down.

Beeper: The beeper can be turned off completely; can be turned off for setting the margin, multiple copies, and paper length; or it can be left on to emit a tone whenever a key is pressed.

Paper feed out waiting time: When the copier is ready to receive the or iginal, it will wait for a p reset length of time. If no original is set within this time, the copier will process the copy paper without copying. T he time can be set to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 minutes.

Manual feed s tart time: After copy paper is set, the copier waits for a preset number of s econds bef ore start ing the r ollers that will pull the paper in. This pause gives you a chance to align the paper. The time can be set to 0.7, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 seconds.

What Your Service Representative Can Change COPYING

Lead edge increase/decrease speed: The speed at which the lead edge setting scrolls up or down can be changed. The time for one increment (or decrement) can be set to 0. 02, 0.05, 0.10,

0.25, or 0.5 second.

Auto clear time: If the copier is left alone for a while, it will clear itself. The time needed can be changed to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 minutes. The function can also be turned off.

Energy saving: The fusing unit needs to be hot for copying. When the copier is idle, the fusing unit can be kept hot to save time or it can be allowed to cool to save energy. The feature can be set to start automatically, but you can also turn it on y ourself by pressing and holding the Clear Modes/Stand-by key for three seconds.

Screen message: When the copier is idle, the copy counter can be made to display a message. There are five possible messages: “Pre_heat”, “Sleeping”, “0123456789”, “Have a good day”, and “Hello I love you”. The fea ture can also be turned off.

Function step setting: When changi ng the functio n setting (margin, multiple copies, or pa per length) by the setting will change by a pres et value. This value can be ch anged to 1, 2, 3 or 10 units.

holding down the + or - key,

Paper length count up/down, Paper length up/down speed, and Paper size pat tern: When you press the preset length
