LOADING THE PAPER TRAY
1Raise the handle of the paper tray and pull the paper tray out until it
stops.
2Adjust the paper guides on the paper tray to the copy paper width and length. Squeeze the lever of paper guide A and slide the guide to match with the width of the paper. Move paper guide B to the appropriate slot as marked on the tray.
Paper |
Paper |
guide B |
guide A |
3Fan the paper and insert it into the tray. 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.
8
4Gently push the paper tray back into the unit.
• |
After loading paper, to cancel the blinking |
without restarting |
|
||
|
copying, press the clear ( |
) key. The |
in the display will go out |
|
|
|
and the start ( |
) indicator will light up. |
|
|
|
• |
Be sure that paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges. |
|
|||
• |
Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type. |
|
|||
• |
When loading paper, ensure there is no space between the paper and |
2 |
|||
|
the guide, and check if the guide is not set too narrow causing the |
||||
|
paper to bend. Loading paper in these ways will result in document |
skew or a paper jam.
•When not using the unit for an extended period, remove all paper from the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the unit for an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air, resulting in paper jams.
•When adding new paper to the paper tray, remove the old paper already contained in the tray. Placing new paper on top of the paper already contained in the tray may result in feeding two sheets at one time.
9
BYPASS FEED (including special paper)
The single bypass can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels, envelopes, and other special purpose paper. Paper measuring from A6 to A4 and in the weight range of 52g/m2 to 128g/m2 can be used in this tray. (For paper weighing from 104g/m2 to 128g/m2, A4 is the maximum size.)
• The single bypass can hold one sheet of paper.
• The original image must be smaller than the paper or media for copying. If the original image is bigger than the paper or media, this may cause smudges on the edges of the copies.
•If you insert a sheet of paper into the single bypass when multiple copies have been set with the copy quantity setting (p.15), the copy quantity setting will change to "0" and only one copy will be made.
•When copying onto transparency film, remove each copy promptly. Do not let copies stack up.
1 Select copy settings before you begin the copy job.
For information on the copy settings, see "MAKING COPIES" (p.11)".
2Set the paper guides to the paper width. Insert a single sheet of copy (print face down) into the feed slot of the single bypass.
When you insert the paper, the unit will automatically draw in the paper and begin copying.
Print face
Note for loading envelopes
•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.

MAKING COPIES |
|
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).
COPY FLOW |
3 |
|
1Make 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.
2Turn on the unit (p.12).
3Place 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.
4Select the copy settings.
If you wish to copy using the initial settings (p.13), proceed to the next step.
To set the number of copies, see page 15.
To adjust the resolution and contrast settings, see page 15. To enlarge or reduce the copy, see page 17.
5 Start copying. |
If you are using the single bypass |
|
Press the start ( ) key. |

(Page 10) |
|
|
Multiple copies are not possible |
|
|
using the single bypass. |
11
Do not insert paper in the single bypass when a copy job from the paper tray is in progress. This will cause a misfeed.
CONNECTING THE POWER CORD
If you use the unit in a country other than the country where the unit was purchased, you will need to make sure that your local power supply is compatible with your model. If you plug the unit into an incompatible power supply, irreparable damage to the unit will result.
1 Ensure that the power switch of the unit is in the OFF position. Insert the attached power cord into the power cord socket at the rear of the unit.
2Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest outlet.
Only insert the power cord into a properly grounded wall socket. Do not use extension cords or power strips.
Power on
Ensure that the power switch of the unit is in the OFF position. Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest outlet.
Turn the power switch on the left side of the unit to the "ON" position. The start
( ) indicator will light up and other indicators which show the initial settings of the operation panel will also light up to indicate the ready condition. For the initial settings, see the "Initial settings of
operation panel" described on the next page.
• The unit will enter a power save mode once the set time has elapsed without any unit operation. The settings of the power save modes can be modified. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.19).
•The unit will return to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the end of copy or scanning job. The preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be changed. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.19).
12
About the scan head
The scan head lamp remains on constantly when the unit is in the ready condition (when the start ( ) indicator is illuminated).
The unit adjusts the scan head lamp periodically to maintain copying quality. At this time, the scan head moves automatically. This is normal and does not indicate unit trouble.
Initial settings of operation panel
When the unit power is on, the operation panel will revert to the initial settings when the time set with the "Auto clear time" setting (p.18) elapses after a copy is finished, or when the clear () key is pressed twice.
The initial settings of the operation panel are shown below.

This chapter describes the special functions of this unit. Use these functions as needed.
DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
Toner save mode (page 18)
Reduces toner consumption by approximately 10%.
Power save modes (page 19)
The unit has two power save modes of operation: preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.
Preheat mode
When the unit enters the preheat mode, the power save ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in the unit is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power.

Auto power shut-off mode
When the unit enters the auto power shut-off mode, the power save ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators will go out. The auto power shut-off mode saves more power than the preheat mode but requires a longer time before starting copying. To copy from the auto power shut-off mode, press the start ( ) key. Then make desired copier selections and press the start ( ) key using the normal copying procedure.
Auto clear (page 19)
The unit returns to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the end of copy. This preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be changed.
