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.

IMAGE CHECK FUNCTION (PREVIEW)

The image check function allows you to view scanned images and received faxes on the touch panel.

Convenient uses of image check

You can view images scanned for copying, fax/image send, and Scan to HDD of document filing. This allows you to check the effect of special modes and correct problems before copying or transmission takes place.

"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.

When the image check function is used, a screen similar to the following screen appears. The key names in the image check screen and the procedures for using the screen vary depending on the image type.

Image Check

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.

The indicator line indicates approximately how many originals can be placed. The placed originals must not be higher than this line.

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.

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, push up the far edge of the automatic document feeder and then close the automatic document feeder slowly.

Print side face up or face down

Paper is loaded with the print side face up or face down depending on the paper type and tray.

Trays 1 to 4

Load the paper with the print side face up. However, if the paper type is "Pre-Printed" or "Letter Head", load the paper with the print side face down*.

Bypass tray and tray 5

Load the paper with the print side face down. However, if the paper type is "Pre-Printed" or "Letter Head", load the paper with the print side face up*.

* If "Disabling of Duplex" is enabled in the system settings (administrator), load the paper in the normal way (face

up in trays 1 to 4; face down in the bypass tray and tray 5).

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 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. For example, move the guides from B4 (8-1/2" x 14") to A4 (8-1/2" x 11").

Do not load as shown below.

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.

Large capacity tray

The paper size of tray 5 can only be changed by a service technician.
