●
In addition to the automatic exposure mode, the text, text/photo, photo, and
super photo exposure modes can be adjusted in five steps.
●
The photo mode and super photo mode copying functions allow clear copying
of delicate halftone original images such as monochrome photos and color
photos. These modes are adjustable in five steps. The super photo mode
allows high resolution copying at 1200 dpi.
Substantial copying features

POWER ON AND OFF
The power switch is located on the left side of the copier.
Power on
Turn the power switch to the "ON" position.
GETTING STARTED
●
When the power switch is turned to the "ON" position, the message "System check." will appear in the
message display and warm-up will srart. During warm-up, you can select your desired job settings
and then by pressing the START key, your job will commence when the copier comes to "Ready to
copy." Once the copier has finished warming up, the message display will change to "Ready to
copy.", and the START key indicator will light up, indicating that copying is possible.
●
If the copier has been programmed in the auditing mode, the message "Enter your account number."
will appear after warming up. Once a valid account number has been entered, the message display
will change to "Ready to copy." and copying will be possible. See page 20.
Power on
Power off
When the copier is not used for a long time, be sure to turn it off.
Ensure that the machine is not operating and then turn the power switch to the "OFF" position.
If the power switch is turned off while the machine is operating, a misfeed may occur. Also the job that
was in progress will be totally canceled.
Dehumidification heater switch (DH POWER)
This copier is equipped with a dehumidification heater, which prevents dew condensation inside the
copier and moisture absorption of paper in the paper trays. If dew condensation occurs and causes
moisture absorption of paper, image quality may be deteriorated and paper misfeeds may occur
frequently. It is recommended that the dehumidification heater switch be left in the “ON” position in the
following cases even after the power switch is turned off.
●
In a low temperature season such as winter (When a sudden temperature change occurs, for
example, immediately after room heating is turned on, dew condensation may occur.)
●
In a high temperature and high humidity season such as summer or rainy season
●
In regions at a high temperature and a high humidity
NOTES:
●
When using the dehumidification heater, do not remove the power cord from the outlet. Doing
so will stop the heater.
●
If an optional 500-sheet paper feed unit or 2x500-sheet paper feed unit is installed, the heater
in the unit will also be turned on when the dehumidification heater switch of the copier is turned
on.

Power save modes
The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and thereby reduce the
cost of operation and to conserve natural resources to help reduce environmental pollution. The two
power save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.
★ KEY OPERATOR
The time to enter the preheat and auto power shut-off modes have been preset at the factory to 15 min.
for the preheat mode and 60 min. for the auto power shut-off mode. These times can be changed as
described in the key operator's guide. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the
actual usage of the copier.
Preheat mode
The copier will enter the 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 and no copier operations have been made.
When the copier enters the preheat mode, the backlight of the display will be turned off. In this condition,
the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat level thereby saving power. The preheat level is,
however, high enough to allow the copier to come to a ready condition or begin copying approximately
10 seconds after any key input is made.
To copy from the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press the START key using the
normal copying procedure.
★★★★KEY OPERATOR See page 16 of the KEY OPERATOR'S GUIDE for information on setting the
preheat mode.
Auto power shut-off mode
If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will enter the mode once the set time has elapsed
without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or the power is first turned on and no
copier operations have been made.
When the copier enters the auto power shut-off mode, the displays and all the indicators except the
mode indicators will be turned off. In this condition, the fuser in the copier will be turned off.
To turn the power back on, press the COPY key or another mode key that is lit. You can make desired
settings and press the START key after warm-up starts.

timer. See page 20 of the KEY OPERATOR'S GUIDE for enabling or disabling the auto power shut-
off.

EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENT
This copier has five exposure modes to choose from: AUTO, TEXT, TEXT/PHOTO, PHOTO, and
SUPER PHOTO.
Auto
This is the standard initial setting for this copier. In this mode, the characteristics of an original being
copied are "read" by the exposure system, and exposure adjustments are made automatically. This
optimizes the contrast of the copied images by reducing the effect of colored or shaded background
areas.
AUTO
Text, text/photo, photo, and super photo
Text mode: This mode is useful for enhancing very low density areas of an original or suppressing
unusually high-density background areas.
Text/photo mode: This mode provides the best balance for copying an original which contains both
text and photos. This mode is also useful for copying printed photographs.
Photo mode: This mode is good for copying photographs with fine details.
Super photo mode: This is a high resolution mode (1200 dpi) for providing the best copies of
photographs.
