USER AUTHENTICATION

When user authentication is enabled in the system settings, you must log in before using the machine. User authentication is initially disabled. When you have finished using the machine, log out.

User authentication methods

There are two methods for performing user authentication: login by user number and login by login name and password. Ask the administrator of the machine for the information that is required to log in. For details on user authentication, see "USER AUTHENTICATION" in "Chapter 1 - BEFORE USING THE MACHINE" in the Operation Guide.

User Authentication

Admin Login

This method requires that you log in by entering your user number (5 to 8 digits), which is stored in the system settings of the machine.

User Authentication

User Name

Password

Auth to:

This method requires that you log in by entering your login name, password, and the login destination, which are stored in the system settings of the machine. Depending on how the machine administrator has configured the system settings, an e-mail address may also be used for authentication.

Logging out

When you have finished using the machine, log out. Logging out prevents unauthorized use of the machine.

How to log out

You can log out from any mode of the machine by pressing the [LOGOUT] key ( ). However, note that the [LOGOUT] key ( ) cannot be used to log out when a fax number is being entered in fax mode, as the [LOGOUT] key ( ) functions as a numeric key at this time. If a preset duration of time elapses after the machine is last used, the auto clear function will activate. When auto clear activates, logout automatically takes place.

HOME SCREEN

When the [HOME] key is pressed on the operation panel, the home screen appears in the touch panel. Mode selection keys appear in the home screen. These keys can be touched to open the base screen of each mode. The [My Menu] key can be touched to display shortcuts to functions stored in "My Menu".

IMAGE CHECK FUNCTION (PREVIEW)

The image check function is used to display the content of a received fax or other data in the touch panel.

Convenient uses of image check

"Printing only faxes that are needed"

You can check a received fax before printing it. If you don't need the fax, you can delete it without printing it, allowing you to save paper and toner.

"Checking the content of a file stored in the machine"

Before printing or sending a file stored using the document filing function, you can check the content of the file. A preview can be displayed directly from the Job Settings menu, making it easy to move from image preview to execution of the job.

Data that can be checked

The image check function can be used to check the following types of data:

• Faxes received in fax mode

• Faxes received in Internet fax mode

• Faxes stored in a memory box

• Files stored using the document filing function

* The key names in the image check screen and the procedures for using

the screen vary depending on the image type.

When the image check function is used, a screen similar to the following screen appears.

PLACING ORIGINALS

The automatic document feeder can be used to automatically scan many originals at once. This saves you the trouble of manually feeding each original. For originals that cannot be scanned using the automatic document feeder, such as a book or a document with notes attached, use the document glass.

Using the automatic document feeder

When using the automatic document feeder, place the originals in the document feeder tray. Make sure an original has not been placed on the document glass.

Place the originals face up with the edges

aligned evenly. Adjust the original guides to the width of the originals.

Using the document glass

Take care that your fingers are not pinched when closing the automatic document feeder. After placing the original, be sure to close the automatic document feeder. If left open, parts outside of the original will be copied black, causing excessive use of toner.

The indicator line indicates approximately

how many originals can be placed. The placed

originals must not be higher than this line.

Place the original face down.

Align the middle of the original with the tip of the mark in the center of the glass.

To place a thick original such as a book, push up the far edge of the automatic document feeder and then close the automatic document feeder slowly. Do not press hard on the automatic document feeder. This may cause failure.

Place the original face down.

Place the original in the horizontal orientation, referring to the document glass scale.

Loading paper in a tray

To change the paper in a tray, load the desired paper in the tray and then change the tray settings in the machine to specify the loaded paper. The procedure for changing the tray paper size is explained below. As an example, the paper in tray 1 is changed from 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) size plain paper to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (A5) size recycled paper.

Gently pull out the paper tray. If paper remains in the tray, remove it.

Move the two guides on the tray. For example, move the guides from 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (A5). Adjust the guides to match the paper being loaded. If the guides are too loose, the paper will not be held in place. If the guides are too tight, the paper will bow. Load the paper so that it is not as shown below when viewed from the front and side of the machine.

The loaded paper should not go higher than these protrusions.

Insert the paper with the print side face up. Fan the paper well before inserting it. Otherwise, multiple sheets may feed at once and cause a misfeed. Insert the paper and then gently push the tray into the machine.

Indicator line The indicator line indicates the maximum height of the paper that can be loaded in the tray. When loading paper, make sure that the stack is not higher than the indicator line.

Changing the tray settings

When you change the paper in a tray, the tray settings in the system settings must also be changed.

Loading paper in bypass tray

Load the paper in the horizontal orientation.

When loading 8-1/2" x 11" size paper, pull out the tray extension. The maximum number of sheets that can be loaded in the bypass tray is approximately 100 for plain paper and approximately 20 for envelopes.

Example: Loading an envelope

The side to be copied on must be face down!

Place paper that is 7-1/4" x 10-1/2" (A5) or smaller in the horizontal orientation.

Do not place heavy objects on the bypass tray or press down on the tray. The bypass tray may be damaged, the machine may topple, and injury may result. Special types of paper that cannot be loaded in other trays can be loaded in the bypass tray. For detailed information on the bypass tray, see "LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY" in "Chapter 1 - BEFORE USING THE MACHINE" in the Operation Guide.

Only the address side of envelopes can be printed on. Place envelopes with the address side face down.
