COPIER INSTALLATION
Improper installation may damage the copier . Please note the f ollowing during initial installation
and whenever the copier is moved.
1
Getting started
Do not install your copier in areas that are:
If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may
form inside the copier. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality
and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours
before use.
●
damp, humid, or very dusty
●
exposed to direct sunlight
●
poorly ventilated
●
subject to extreme temperature or humidity
changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or
heater.
The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet
for easy connection.
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that
meets the specified voltage and current requirements.
Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.
Connect the copier to a power outlet which is not
used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture
is connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker .

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
Be careful in handling the copier as follows to maintain the performance of this copier.
Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock
or strike it against any object.
1
Getting started
Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct
sunlight.
Doing so will damage the surface (green portion)
of the drum cartridge, poor print quality.
Store spare supplies such as drum cartridges and TD cartridges in a dark place
without removing from the package before use.
If they are exposed to direct sunlight, poor print quality may result.
Do not touch the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge.
Doing so will damage the surface of the cartridge, causing poor print quality .

LOADING COPY PAPER
1
Getting started
Raise the handle of the paper tray and pull the paper tray out until it stops.
Adjust the paper guides on the paper tray to the copy paper width and length.
Squeeze the lever of paper guide and slide the guide to match with the width of
the paper.
Move paper guide to the appropriate slot as marked on the tray.
Paper guide B
Fan the copy paper and insert it into the tra y . Make sure the edges go under the corner
hooks.
Do not load paper above the maximum height line ( ). Exceeding the line
will cause a paper misfeed.
Paper guide A

MAKING COPIES
This chapter describes basic copying functions and some other copying functions using the
bypass tray.
NORMAL COPYING
This copier has two document input stations -rev ersing single pass feeder (RSPF) for automatic
document feeding and an original table for manual handling of documents . The RSPF is designed
to hold up to 30 originals measuring from A5 to B4 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 10" x 14") and weighing
from 52 to 90 g/m2 (14 to 23 lbs.).
When copying from the RSPF, two-side originals can be copied automatically without having to
manually turn them over .
Automatic two-sided cop ying can also be perf ormed with this copier . When copying from onesided originals to two-sided copies, copying orientation can be selected between Turn on Long
Edge and Turn on Short Edge.
A
A A
A A
A
Turn on Long Edge Turn on Short Edge
●
When making two-sided copies from the original table, the copy paper size
must be A4 (8-1/2" x 11"). When making two-sided copies from the RSPF,
letter, legal, and in v oice siz es can be used. Non-standard size paper cannot
be used.
●
When making two-sided copies from the RSPF, a multiple number of copies
cannot be set.
●
When making two-sided copies, the bypass tra y cannot be used.
●
When using two-sided invoice siz e originals from the RSPF, be sure to place
them in the landscape orientation. Otherwise , an original misfeed will occur.
Ensure that paper of the desired size is set in the paper tray. See page 10, LOADING
COPY PAPER. When copying onto paper larger than A4 (8-1/2" x 11") size, pull out
the paper output tray e xtension. If y ou use another tr a y, use the tray select ( ) key
to select the desired tray.

NORMAL COPYING
Turn the power switch on.
The ready ( ) indicator will light up.
●
The copier will enter a power save mode once the set time has elapsed
without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or power is
turned on.
The settings of the power sav e modes can be modified. See page 21, USER
PROGRAMS.
●
The copier will return to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the
last copy is made. The preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be changed.
See page 21, USER PROGRAMS.

Making copies
Place the original(s) face up in the document feeder tra y or f ace down on the original
table.
A. When using the RSPF:
(1) Make sure that no original is left on the original table.
(2) Adjust the original guides to the size of originals.
(3) Set the originals face up in the document feeder tray.
●
Before feeding originals in the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any
staples or paper clips from them.
●
Before placing curled or wavy originals into the document feeding tray, be
sure to flatten them. If not, original misf eeds ma y result.
●
The RSPF ( ) indicator on the operation panel will light up. If this indicator
does not light up, the originals are not properly set or the RSPF is not properly
closed.
●
Badly damaged originals may misfeed in the RSPF. It is recommended that
such originals be copied from the original table.
●
Special originals such as transparency film should not be fed through the
RSPF, but should be placed directly on the original table.
●
Image loss (max. 4 mm (5/32")) can occur at the leading and tr ailing edges of
the copies. Also image loss (max. 4.5 mm (11/64") in total) can occur along
the other edges of the copies. It can be 6 mm (15/64") (max.) at the trailing
edge of the second copy of two-sided cop ying.
