• Envelopes must be fed narrow side into the feed slot one at a time.
• Do not use non-standard envelopes, and envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic
snappers, string closures, windows, linings, self-adhesive, patches or synthetic
materials. Do not use envelopes that are filled with air or envelopes that have labels
or stamps attached.
• Envelopes of which the surface is not flat because of embossing may cause the
copies/prints to become smudged.
• Under high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some envelopes
may become sticky and be sealed closed when copied/printed.
• Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed
envelopes may be poorly copied/printed or may cause misfeeds.
• It is recommended that you perform a test copy before performing the actual copied/
printed job.
• Be sure to select either Com 10, DL, C5 or Monarch on the paper size setting of the
printer driver. (For detailed information on printer driver, refer to the online manual.)

This chapter explains basic and other copying functions.
The unit is equipped with a one-page memory buffer. This memory allows the unit to
scan an original once only and make up to 99 copies. This feature improves
workflow, reduces operation noise from the copier, and provides higher reliability by
reducing wear and tear on the scanning mechanism.
If the unit does not function properly during use, or if a function cannot
be used, see "TROUBLESHOOTING THE UNIT" (p.26).
MAKING COPIES
COPY FLOW
1 Make sure that paper has been loaded in the paper tray (p.8),
and check the paper size (p.7).
If paper is not loaded, see page 8. If you are using the single bypass, check
the paper size and then proceed to the next step without loading paper.
2 Turn on the unit (p.12).
3 Place the original.
If you are using the original table, see "ORIGINAL PLACEMENT" (p.14).
When copying onto A4 paper or a large size, pull out the paper output tray
extension.
4 Select the copy settings.
If you wish to copy using the initial settings (p.13), proceed to the next
step.
