• To use paper in the bypass tray, make a two-sided copy as explained in "TWO-SIDED COPYING USING THE

BYPASS TRAY" (p.55).

• When performing automatic two-sided copying of a one-sided original, or one-sided copying of a two-sided original, the image on the back can be rotated 180 degrees to reverse the top and bottom (Image rotation in duplex copying). To rotate the image 180 degrees, enable the setting as explained in "IMAGE ROTATION IN

DUPLEX COPYING" (p.54) or in the system settings (p.91), and then follow the steps below. In particular, when

a one-sided vertical (portrait) original is placed in a horizontal orientation (B4 or A3 (8-1/2" x 14" or 11" x 17") size) for two-sided copying, the top and bottom of the images on the front and back of the paper will be reversed, and thus this function can be conveniently used to make the top and bottom of the images agree.

• Automatic two-side copy cannot be used in combination with ID card copy.

• When copying multiple originals onto a single sheet of paper (2 IN 1 / 4 IN 1 copy), this function can be used to print a solid or broken borderline around each original image.

• When the auto paper select function is enabled and there is no paper that is the same size as the original and loaded in the same orientation, this function will automatically select paper of the same size that is loaded in the opposite orientation, and rotate the image 90 degrees so that it is copied on the paper in the correct orientation.

• When the auto ratio select function is operating and the original and paper are loaded in opposite orientations, this function rotates the image so that it is copied on the paper in the correct orientation.

• This function automatically selects paper that is the same size as the original placed in the RSPF, or the same size as that selected with the [ORIGINAL] key ( ). The function can be disabled.

Explanation

• If the paper runs out during printing and there is paper of the same size and orientation in another tray, this function automatically switches to that tray (excluding the bypass tray). The function can be disabled.

• Use this setting to set the width of erasure of shadows that appear around the edges and at the binding margin when a book or similar original is copied.

• Use this setting to select the layout pattern when two original pages are copied onto a single sheet of paper (see page 62 for the layout patterns).

• Use this setting to select the layout pattern when four original pages are copied onto a single sheet of paper (see page 62 for the layout patterns).

• When a one-sided vertical (portrait) original is placed in a horizontal orientation (B4 or A3 (8-1/2" x 14" or 11" x 17") size) for two-sided copying, the top and bottom of the images on the front and back of the paper will be opposite to each other.

• Use this setting to switch between the margin at the top edge and the margin at the left edge.

• Use this setting to set the margin width.

• Use this to change the proportion of machine memory used for printer mode.

• Use this setting to select whether or not holding down a key causes repeated input of the key. For keys that normally cause a set value to increase when held down (for example, holding down the [ZOOM] key (

, )), this program can be used to have the

set value not change when the key is held down.

• Use this setting to select how long a key must be pressed for the input to be accepted. By selecting a longer time, you can prevent settings from being changed by the accidental pressing of a key.

• This sets the volume of beep signals. (p.94)

• Use this to sound a beep when a base setting is selected. (p.94)

• Use this setting to select 99 or 999 for the maximum number of copies.

DEFAULT GATEWAY

Explanation

• When this function is enabled, printing in printer mode will automatically continue using a different size of paper if the specified size of paper runs out in all trays. This feature does not function in copy mode.

• Use this program to select a default tray. This tray is automatically selected each time the power is turned on or each time the machine reverts to the initial settings.

• Use this program to set "AUTO", "TEXT", or "PHOTO" as the default exposure mode.

• This sets the USB 2.0 data transfer speed. If your computer is not compatible with USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed), use this program to change the USB 2.0 mode to "Full-Speed". For AR-6020N/6023N/6026N/6031N,"Hi-Speed" cannot be set.

• Use this setting to select the default output mode for copying from the RSPF.

• Use this setting to copy the front and back sides of ID card onto a page, and to use margin shift feature.

• This function automatically switches the machine to auto power shut-off mode immediately after a print job finishes. If "OFF" is set, the duration of time for the Auto power shut-off timer set in the program number (3) is enabled.

• If "YES" is selected (factory default setting) and the machine is connected to a TCP/IP network, the IP address will be acquired automatically. This is the factory default setting. If you will manually assign an IP address, select "NO". For the detailed procedure, see

"ENABLING/DISABLING DHCP" (p.95).

• This program is used to set the IP address (IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway) of the machine when TCP/IP protocol is used on the network. For the detailed procedure, see "SETTING THE IP

ADDRESS" (p.96).

• This sets the display pattern of the data notification indicator ( ).

• This function is used to set the number of copies when copying ID card.

• This function is used to set the paper type on bypass tray.

*1When the RSPF is installed.

When the 500-sheet paper feed units are installed.

When pressed [CLEAR ALL] key( ), exceeding the auto clear time, resumed auto-power shut-off mode , or power on and off, the paper type on bypass tray will resume to plain paper.
