SCANNER MODE

The key operator code is initially set to "00000" at the factory.

PURPOSE OF THE KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS

The key operator programs are used by the key operator (administrator of the machine) to customize certain features of the machine to better meet the needs of users. This guide explains key operator programs that are common to all functions of the multifunction system (copy function, fax function, printer function, and network scanner function), as well as programs that are specific to the copy function, printer function, and network scanner function. Programs that are specific to the fax function are explained in the following manual:

• Fax function ............."AR-FX7 Operation manual" (Chapter 8)

In order to access the key operator programs, the key operator code must be entered.

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.) To change the key operator code, see "USING THE KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS" on the following page.

The key operator code is initially set to "00000" at the factory.

"ENERGY SAVE" provides the following four programs to reduce your power costs. From an environmental perspective, this also helps conserve natural resources and reduce pollution.

● AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF

● AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF TIMER

● PREHEAT MODE SETTING

● TONER SAVE MODE

AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF

If the machine is not used for the amount of time set in "AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF TIMER", AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF will activate and switch the machine to a standby state that conserves the maximum amount of energy. This program can be used to prevent AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF from operating. When this is done, the "AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF TIMER" setting is disabled. Use this program when circumstances require that AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF be disabled. This program is initially enabled (factory default setting).

PREHEAT MODE SETTING

If the printer is not used for the length of time set with this program after printing is finished, it will enter preheat mode. This function reduces your power costs, and at the same time helps conserve natural resources and reduce pollution. Select the most suitable setting to match your pattern of use of the printer. The time can be set to as long as 240 minutes in increments of one minute. (Preheat mode cannot be disabled.) The factory default setting is "15" (min.).

TONER SAVE MODE

The toner save mode will reduce toner consumption by approximately 10% in the automatic, text, and text/photo exposure modes. Copies will be lighter but still adequate for general use. Selection of this mode has no effect on the photo and super photo modes. This program is initially disabled (factory default setting).

Caution

shut-off feature, we suggest that you first try lengthening the time set in "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.

AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF TIMER

This program is used to set the amount of time after which "AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF" activates when the machine is not used. This function allows you to reduce power costs, and at the same time helps conserve natural resources and reduce pollution. The time can be set to as long as 240 minutes in increments of one minute. The factory default setting is "60" (min.).

Rather than disabling the auto power

Note

• Select a suitable time according to your pattern of use of the machine.

• If "AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF" is disabled, the time setting is also disabled.

Note

The initial settings can be changed in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operator’s guide".) For the initial settings (initial screen) of printer, fax, and scanner modes, see the operation manuals of those modes.

POWER SAVE MODES

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and thereby reduce the cost of operation. These modes help conserve natural resources and reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are "Preheat mode" and "Auto power shut-off mode". The time settings for each mode can be changed in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operator’s guide".)

Preheat mode

When the set time elapses, the temperature of the fusing unit is automatically lowered to reduce power consumption while on standby. The factory default setting is 15 minutes. To return to normal operation, touch any key on the operation panel. To make a copy when the machine is in this mode, simply select the desired copy selections and then press the [START] key ( ).

Auto power shut-off mode

When the set time elapses, the power to the fusing unit automatically turns off to reduce power consumption (This is based on the guidelines of the International Energy Star Program.). The factory default setting is 60 minutes. When the machine enters this mode, the touch panel screen turns off and only the [START] key ( ) blinks. To return to normal operation, press the [START] key ( ). To copy after warm-up starts, make desired copy selections and press the [START] key ( ). When the machine receives a fax or a print job, Auto power shut-off mode automatically deactivates and the machine returns to normal operation.

Stream feeding mode

If stream feeding mode is enabled in the key operator programs, "SET ORIGINALS FOR STREAM FEEDING." will appear in the touch panel for approximately 5 seconds after the originals are fed. Any new originals placed in the RSPF while this message appears will be fed and copied automatically.

Copying a large number of originals

Job Build mode is useful when you need to copy more originals that can be placed in the RSPF at once. For information on Job Build mode, see "JOB BUILD MODE" (p.45).

COPY FUNCTIONS

POINTS TO NOTE WHEN MAKING COPIES

Document glass and RSPF

• Paper in a different orientation from the original can be selected if the auto paper select or auto image function has been selected. In this case, the image of the original will be rotated.

• When copying a book or an original that has been folded or crumpled, press down gently on the RSPF. This will reduce shadow lines caused by uneven contact between the original and the document glass.

• When the center tray counter function is enabled, the number of pages that can be delivered to the output tray is limited to 500 (A4 and 8-1/2" x 14" sizes only; the limit for all other sizes is 300 pages.). When the offset function is used, the limit is approximately 300 pages. When the limit is reached, copying stops and the [START] key ( ) light turns off. Remove the copies from the center tray and then press the [START] key ( ) to resume copying. The center tray counter function can be disabled in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operator’s guide".)

Originals that can be used in the RSPF

A maximum of 100 sheet originals of equal size (8-1/2" x 11", 24 lbs. (90g/m2)) can be placed in the RSPF. Originals of different length can be placed together in the RSPF as long the widths are equal; however, some copy functions may not operate correctly.

Acceptable originals

Originals of size 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17" having a weight of 9 lbs. to 34 lbs. (35g/m2 to 128g/m2) or 14 lbs. to 28 lbs. (52g/m

to 105g/m2) for two-sided originals can be used.

Other considerations

• Use originals that are within the specified size and weight ranges. Originals outside the specified ranges may cause misfeeds.

• Make sure that there are no paper clips or staples on the original.

• If an original has damp spots from correction fluid or ink, or glue from pasteups, be sure it has dried completely before using it to make a copy. Otherwise the interior of the RSPF or the document glass may become soiled.

• The following originals cannot be used. These may cause misfeeds, smudging, and unclear images.

• Transparencies, tracing paper, other transparent or translucent paper, photographs

• Carbon paper

• Thermal paper

• Originals that are creased, folded, or torn

• Glued originals, cut-out originals

• Originals with binder holes

• Originals printed using an ink ribbon (thermal transfer printing), originals printed on thermal transfer paper
