HOW TO LOG IN TO THE MACHINE (USER AUTHENTICATION)

User authentication is used to restrict the use of the machine to users who have been registered in the machine. When user authentication has been enabled by the administrator of the machine, users must log in before using the machine. There are several types of user authentication, and each has a different login method. 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 more information on user authentication, see "USER AUTHENTICATION" in the User's Guide. The procedures for logging in by user number and by login name / password are explained in this section.

User Authentication

This method requires that you log in by entering your user number (5 to 8 digits).

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.

Place the originals face up with the edges aligned evenly.

The indicator line indicates approximately how many originals can be

Adjust the original guides to the width of the originals.

placed. The placed originals must not be higher than this line.

Using the document glass

Place the original face down.

Align the top left corner of the original with the tip of the mark in the far left corner of the glass.

Place the original face down.

To place a thick original such as a book with many pages, push up the far edge of the automatic document feeder and then close the automatic document feeder slowly. Take care that your fingers are not pinched when closing the automatic document feeder.

Print side face up or face down

When loading paper in a tray, the print side is loaded face up or face down depending on the tray.

Trays 1 to 4

Load the paper with the print side face down.

Bypass tray and trays 5 to 7

Load the paper with the print side face up.

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 4 is changed from B4 (8-1/2" x 14") size plain paper to A4 (8-1/2" x 11") size recycled paper.

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

Move the two guides on the tray to change the size from B4 (8-1/2" x 14") to A4 (8-1/2" x 11"). If the paper you are loading is a nonstandard size, lock the guides with .

Insert the paper with the print side face down. Fan the paper well before inserting it. Otherwise, multiple sheets may feed at once and cause a misfeed.

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. Use both hands to place the paper from right overhead so that it does not fold. Folds in the paper will cause misfeeds.

Gently push the tray into the machine.

Changing the tray settings

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