Lighter and Darker key s ( & ) under the density indicator.
The indicator shows seven levels at a time. When you start from the
standard image density, the middle notch corresponds to the standard
image density, the three right notches correspond to the darker densities, the three left notches to lighter dens ities.
The brighter notch shows which level is now set. If you go lower than the

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

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

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

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.

Second, you can change the copier’s default sett ings so that those you
want appear every time you turn the copier on or press the Clear Modes
key.
1–Programming a collection of settings
If you often find yourself using the same margin and density settings,
you can have these settings appear at the strok e of a single key.

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.
p
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.
p
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

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.
p
Screen message: When the copier is idle, the copy counter can
