PURPOSE OF THE KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS
The key operator programs are used by the administrator of the machine to enable or disable functions to suit the
needs of your workplace.
This manual explains only the key operator programs that are common to all the functions of the machine, (copy, fax,
printer and network scanner functions), as well as key operator programs that are specifically for the copy function.
For programs that are specifically for the fax function, printer function, or network scanner function, see the following
manuals:
●Fax . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Operation manual (for facsimile), chapter 8

●Network scanner . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Operation manual (for network scanner), page 39
Key operator programs can only be accessed after a key operator code number has been entered.
Programs related to all functions of the machine (copy, fax, printer, and network scanner functions)
These programs are used to enable auditing mode, adjust power consumption, and manage peripheral devices.
Programs for the copy function
These programs are used to change the factory default copy settings to settings that better suit the needs of your
workplace.
Programming a key operator code
The key operator code is a 5-digit number that must be entered in order to access the key operator programs. The
key operator (administrator of the machine) should change the default key operator code that was set at the factory
to a new 5-digit number. Be sure to remember the new key operator code, as it must be entered each time the key
operator programs are subsequently used. (Only one key operator code can be programmed.)
The key operator code is initially set to "00000" at the factory.
To change the key operator code, see "USING THE KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS" on page 3.

GENERAL PROGRAMS
This section explains key operator programs that are related to all functions of the machine (copy, fax, printer, and
network scanner functions).
Account control
"Account control" consists of the following programs.
● Auditing mode
● Total pages per account
● Resetting account
● Account limit setting
● Account number control
● Account number security
● Cancel jobs of invalid accounts
• If you wish to disable auditing mode for all functions,
touch the [DISABLE] key. The checkmarks will be
removed from the checkboxes on the right and the
checkboxes will be greyed out.
NOTE
To enable Auditing mode, program an account number
as explained in "Account number control" on page 8.
Auditing mode
When AUDITING MODE is enabled, a count is kept of
the pages printed (or transmitted) by each account. Up
to 200 accounts can be established. The counts can be
totaled and displayed as needed and usage limits can
be established.
• Auditing mode can be enabled separately for the
copy function, printer function, fax function, and
network scanner function. When auditing mode is
enabled, one of the programmed 5-digit account
numbers must be entered to use the copy function,
fax function, or network scanner function. (The
functions can only be used if a valid account number
is entered.)
When auditing mode is enabled for the printer
function, an account number must be entered at the
computer when the print command is selected. (For
the print function, it is possible to change a setting to
allow printing even if a valid account number is not
entered. This must be kept in mind when managing
account page counts.)
Touch the [AUDITING MODE] key to display the
following screen.

• When the [COLOUR & B/W] key or the [COLOUR
ONLY] key is touched, the key is highlighted and
checkmarks automatically appear in the checkboxes
on the right-hand side of the screen (this is the
factory default setting). The fax function of the
machine does not support colour, and thus even if
the [COLOUR & B/W] key is touched, audit mode for
the fax function will operate only for black and white.
•
Auditing mode is enabled for functions that have
checkmarks in the checkboxes on the right-hand side of
the screen. If you need to disable auditing mode for a

trial and error. If this program is selected and an
operator enters three successive invalid account
numbers, the copier will not accept another number for
one minute and the message "PLEASE SEE YOUR
KEY OPERATOR FOR ASSISTANCE." will appear.
Cancel jobs of invalid accounts
If this program is set in the auditing mode, and an
invalid account number is entered or no account
number is entered on the computer, printing will not be
done. If this program is not set, printing will be done
and the number of prints will be accumulated as
"OTHERS" in the print total.
● Limiting the number of copies of all accounts
Touch the [LIMIT] key. [ALL] appears in the account
number entry screen.
The limits for all accounts are entered in the same
way as the limits for the individual accounts.

This program is used to set, delete, and edit account
numbers used for copy and other modes, as well as
print a list of the set account numbers. Up to 200
account numbers can be set.
• Each account number has five digits. When you have
finished setting one account number, you can
continue setting other account numbers.
• Two methods are available for deleting account
numbers: deleting an individual account number, and
deleting all account numbers at once.
• To change an account number, enter the account
number to be changed and then enter a new account
number. After an account number is changed,
another account number can be selected to be
changed. Changes for unregistered account
numbers will not be registered.

Energy save
"Energy save" provides the following the programs to
help reduce your power costs. From an environmental
perspective, these programs also help conserve
natural resources and reduce pollution.
● Toner save in B/W printer mode
● Toner save in B/W copy mode
● Auto power shut-off timer
● Auto power shut-off
● Preheat mode setting
Toner save in B/W printer mode
Printing in the toner save mode will reduce black toner
consumption. If toner save is set, black solid areas will
be printed as halftone. (This setting is effective only for
printing without use of the printer driver. If the printer
driver is used, the printer driver setting will override the
setting of this program.)

toner save
mode
GENERAL PROGRAMS
NOTE
Rather than disabling the auto power shut-off
mode, we suggest that you first try lengthening the
time setting of the auto power shut-off timer. In
most cases a suitable timer setting will allow work
to proceed with minimal delay and still enable you
to enjoy the benefits of power conservation.
Preheat mode setting
The printer will enter the preheat mode after a
programmed length of time has elapsed without any
operation after printing is complete. We suggest you
set the most appropriate time according to your usage
pattern.
The time until the unit enters the preheat mode can be
set in 1 minute increments up to 240 minutes. Note that
this function cannot be disabled.
Toner save in B/W copy mode
This program is used to save toner in copy mode. This
program functions the same way as toner save in B/W
printer mode.
Auto power shut-off timer
When a programmed length of time has elapsed
without any operation after printing is complete, the
printer will enter the auto power shut-off mode to save
the maximum amount of energy.
The time until auto power shut-off occurs can be set in
1 minute increments up to 240 minutes.
NOTES
● We suggest you set the most appropriate time
according to your usage pattern.
● If you use the program "Auto power shut-off"
(described below) to disable the auto power
shut-off mode, the time set with this program will
be ignored.
Auto power shut-off
When a programmed length of time has elapsed
without any operation after printing is complete, the
printer enters the auto power shut-off mode to save the
maximum amount of energy. If it becomes impractical
to use the shut-off feature, this program can be used to
disable the feature. If disabled, the auto power shut-off
time setting (described above) will be ignored.

GENERAL PROGRAMS
Operation settings
The "Operation settings" are related to basic operation
of the machine and consist of the following programs:
● Keys touch sound
● Auto clear setting
● Display language setting
● Message time setting
● Key operation setting
Keys touch sound
This program is used to adjust (or turn off) the volume
of the beep that sounds when you touch a key. You can
also have three beeps sound at base values when
setting the ratio in copy mode or adjusting the exposure
in any mode.

Display language setting
This program is used to select the display language.
Message time setting
This program is used to set the length of time that
messages appear in the display (this applies to
messages that appear for a certain length of time and
then automatically disappear.)
The time can be set to as long as 12 seconds in
increments of one second.
Key operation setting
These programs are used to set the length of time a
key in the touch panel must be touched before the key
input is registered, and to prevent repeated key input
when a key is touched continuously.
• Time until key input is registered
The time can be set from 0 seconds to 2 seconds in
increments of 0.5 seconds. Normally the time is set
to 0 seconds so that key input is immediately
registered when a key is touched. By lengthening the
time setting, key input can be prevented when a key
is touched accidentally. Keep in mind, however, that
when a longer setting is selected more care is
required when touching keys to ensure that key input
is registered.
• Prohibit key repeat
The touch panel contains keys such as the zoom
keys (for setting the ratio) that can be touched
continuously to make a value change until it reaches
a desired value.
This feature whereby a value changes continuously
while a key is touched is called key repeat.
Key repeat is normally enabled. If you wish to prohibit
key repeat, select the "DISABLE AUTO KEY
REPEAT" checkbox.
Auto clear setting
After a programmed length has elapsed without any
operation after a copy job is complete or while detailed
status information is being displayed, the auto clear
function will return the screen to the copy main screen
or the job status screen. The auto clear time can be set
in 10 second increments up to 240 seconds. The auto
clear function can be disabled for copier functions.
10
Device control
Use these programs when a peripheral device on the
machine has failed or when you wish to temporarily
disable a device. The programs can also be used to
change the function setting of a device as required by
your conditions of use.
"Device control" consists of the following programs:
●Original size detector setting
●Disabling of document feeder
●Disabling of duplex
●Disabling of inverter
●Disabling of stapler
●Disabling of optional paper drawer
●Disabling of large capacity cassette

GENERAL PROGRAMS
Saddle stitch position adjust
This program is used to adjust the stapling position
(folding position) when using the saddle stitch function
of the optional saddle stitch finisher.
The value can be adjusted in 0.1 mm increments within
±3.0 mm from the reference position for each paper
size.

[AUTOMATIC SADDLE STITCH] checkmark
The saddle stitch print function can normally be divided
into the following three general steps.
1. The pages of the original are automatically
reordered to allow saddle stitch binding (saddle
stitch function).
2. The pages are folded at the centre.
3. The paper is stapled at the centre in two places
(saddle stitch stapling).
The [AUTOMATIC SADDLE STITCH] checkbox is
selected by default.
Selection of the checkbox assumes the use of the
above saddle stitch printing function (three steps).
Saddle stitch stapling exceptions
Depending on the purpose of saddle stitch stapling, it
may be necessary to perform saddle stitch stapling on
printed matter that has already been bound by saddle
stitching. In this case, it is necessary to disable step 1
above. If you frequently perform this type of
exceptional saddle stitch stapling that requires
disabling step 1, remove the checkmark from the
[AUTOMATIC SADDLE STITCH] checkbox.
Stream feeding mode
This program is used to enable the stream feeding
mode of the document feeder. When the stream
feeding mode is enabled, additional originals which are
set in the document feeder tray within 5 seconds after
the previous original was fed will be fed and copied
automatically.
NOTE
The stream feeding mode will not function when the
covers mode has been selected.
Auto paper selection setting
Use this program to select the paper type* for which the
automatic paper selection function operates.
Selections are "Plain paper", "Plain paper and recycle
paper", and "Recycle paper".
* The paper type set for each paper tray in the paper
tray settings of the user settings (page 2-11 of the
"Operation Manual (for general information and
copier operation)").
Registration adjustment
Use this program when the colour of characters and
lines in colour printing is off. Registration adjustment
can be performed in two ways: manually and
automatically. Normally [AUTO ADJUSTMENT]
should be used.
● [AUTO ADJUSTMENT]
Touch this key to have registration adjustment
performed automatically.
After touching this key, touch the [EXECUTE] key. A
message appears when automatic registration
adjustment is completed. Touch the [EXIT] key to
exit.
● [MANUAL ADJUSTMENT]
Touch this key to perform registration adjustment
manually.
Use this key when you require a higher level of
precision than can be obtained with [AUTO
ADJUSTMENT]. See page 13 for the procedure for
manual registration adjustment.

GENERAL PROGRAMS
● Manually adjusting the registration
The procedure for manually adjusting the registration is explained here. This procedure is used when you select manual
adjustment in the [Registration adjustment] key operator program explained on page 12.
Touch the [MANUAL ADJUSTMENT] key and then the [EXECUTE] key to print the adjustment pattern for manual
registration adjustment. This pattern consists of scales that show how much each of the colours C (cyan), M (magenta),
and Y (yellow) are off. If a colour deviates greatly from the reference value, it can be corrected by entering the deviation
value from the touch panel. Follow the steps below to manually adjust the registration.
Understanding the adjustment pattern
The amount of deviation is given within a range of -60 to 60, where 60 represents the maximum value and "0" represents
minimal deviation. (See the enlarged view of scale B.)
As shown in the diagrams, the scales indicating the range of deviation appear in pairs for each colour, with one scale
showing the x1 component of the deviation, and the other scale showing the x10 component.

(Enlarged view of scale B)
Scale A consists of two scales for each colour (C1, M1, Y1 and C2, M2, Y2), and the peak value of the distribution range
of each colour on the scale is the x1 component of the deviation.
Adjustment is performed by entering the deviation, which is the total value of scale A and scale B. However, in most cases
adjustment is possible using just the deviation value from scale A. Follow these steps to perform adjustment.
In the manual registration adjustment screen
1
of the touch panel, touch the key of the colour
you wish to correct ([C1], [M1], [Y1], [C2], [M2],
or [Y2] key).

the value overlaps as a multiple of 10.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 to complete

adjustment.
● You can touch the [OK] key at any time during
the adjustment procedure to store the
correction values entered to that point and end
manual registration.
To print an adjustment pattern showing the

results of your entries, touch the [PRINT] key.
● To cancel all corrections entered to that point
and return to the previous screen (before
manual registration was executed), touch the
[CANCEL] key.

PROGRAMS FOR COPY MODE
Exposure adjustment
Use this program to lighten or darken copies in the
automatic exposure mode. The factory setting is "5".
"1" indicates lighter density and "9" indicates darker
density on the touch panel.
Rotation copy setting
If this program is set, the image of originals will rotate
when the orientation of the originals does not match
that of the copy paper.
(Rotation copy will function only if the auto paper select
or auto image mode has been selected.)
NOTE
For copying from A5 or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size originals
onto A5R or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R paper, this program
must be set.
Add or change extra preset ratios
When using AB sizes, there are normally five preset
enlargement ratios and five preset reduction ratios.
When using inch sizes, there are normally four preset
enlargement ratios and four preset reduction ratios.
This program allows you to add two more preset
enlargement ratios and two more preset reduction
ratios. This program also allows you to change a preset
ratio.
NOTE
Only an added preset ratio can be changed.
Initial margin shift setting
Set the initial margin shift value with this program.
The value can be set from 0 mm to 20 mm in 1 mm
increments or from 0" to 1" in 1/8" increments.

from 0" to 1" in 1/8" increments.
0 mm to 20 mm in 1 mm
Setting a maximum number of copies
Use this program to limit the maximum number of
copies per copy run which can be input in the copy
quantity display.
A number from 1 to 999 can be set.
Initial colour balance setting
Colour balance settings that have been adjusted using
the special "Colour Balance" function explained on
page 6-14 of the "Operation manual (for general
information and copier operation)" can be called up
and set as initial colour balance settings* by storing
them ahead of time in a job program (page 6-25 of the
"Operation manual (for general information and copier
operation)"). Use this feature when you want to
repeatedly use settings for a favorite colour or for
correction when a change occurs in the colour balance.
* Preset values displayed when you select the special
"Colour Balance" function. The factory default
settings are the "0" position for all eight levels of each

ENABLE/DISABLE SETTINGS
"Enable/Disable settings" consists of the following
programs:
● Disabling deletion of job programs
● Disabling of bypass-tray in duplex copy
● Disabling of covers mode
● Disabling of auto paper selection
Disabling deletion of job programs
This program is used to prevent stored programs from
being replaced or deleted. When this program is set,
storing of job programs is also disabled.
Disabling of bypass-tray in duplex copy
(Only when an optional duplex module/2 x 500
sheet paper drawer is installed)
This program is used to disable the use of the bypass
tray when making duplex copies.
The bypass tray is sometimes used to feed heavy
paper. Loading heavy paper in the duplex module/2 x
500 sheet paper drawer may cause a misfeed or
failure. If heavy paper is frequently used, it is
recommended that you enable this program.
Disabling of covers mode
This program is used to prevent selection of the
COVERS mode.
B/W 600dpi scanning mode for document feeder
The resolution for copying in black and white from the
reversing automatic document feeder can be changed
from 600 x 300 dpi to 600 x 600 dpi (high quality mode).
When high quality mode is used, fine print and thin
lines are reproduced with greater clarity, however, the
scanning speed is slower. If you prefer a faster
scanning speed, do not enable high quality mode.
When high quality mode is not selected, the following
conditions must be satisfied in order to scan at 600 x
300 dpi and attain the fastest speed.
Conditions for fast job speed (all must be satisfied):
• The copy ratio must be set to 100%
• AUTO, TEXT, TEXT/PRTD.PHOTO, or TEXT/
PHOTO must be selected for the exposure, and
neither "COPY OF COPY" nor "COLOUR TONE
ENHANCEMENT" are selected.
• When using a special function, only the following
special functions can be used with 600 x 300 dpi
resolution:
MARGIN SHIFT, ERASE, CENTRING,
TRANSPARENCY INSERTS, COVERS, MIRROR
IMAGE, EXTRA SIZE
Disabling of auto paper selection
This program is used to prevent automatic paper
selection. When automatic paper selection is disabled,
the copier will not automatically select a paper tray
containing paper that matches the size of the original
placed on the document glass or in the reversing
automatic document feeder.
