• Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
• When loading paper, ensure there is no space between the paper and
the guide, and check if the guide is not set too narrow causing the
paper to bend. Loading paper in these ways will result in document
skew or a paper jam.
• When not using the unit for an extended period, remove all paper from
the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the unit for
an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air,
resulting in paper jams.
When adding new paper to the paper tray, remove the old paper already
•
contained in the tray. Placing new paper on top of the paper already
contained in the tray may result in feeding two sheets at one time.
•
If output paper curls, it may help to turn the paper over when loading it in
the tray.

BYPASS FEED (including special paper)
The multi-bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels,
envelopes, and other special purpose paper. Paper measuring from A6 to A4 and in
the weight range of 56 to 128g/m
105 to 128g/m2, A4 is the maximum size.)
• The multi-bypass tray can hold maximum of 50 sheets of paper.
(Capacity will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.)
• The original image must be smaller than the paper or media for
copying. If the original image is bigger than the paper or media, this
may cause smudges on the edges of the copies.

clasps, plastic snappers, string closures, windows, linings, self-adhesive,
patches or synthetic materials. Do not use envelopes that are filled with
air or envelopes that have labels or stamps attached.
• Envelopes of which the surface is not flat because of embossing may
cause the copies/prints to become smudged.
• Under high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some
envelopes may become sticky and be sealed closed when copied/
printed.
• Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly
formed envelopes may be poorly copied/printed or may cause misfeeds.
• It is recommended that you perform a test copy before performing the
actual copied/printed job.
• Be sure to select either Com 10, DL, C5 or Monarch on the paper size
setting of the printer driver. (For detailed information on printer driver,
refer to the online manual.)

This chapter explains basic and other copying functions.
The unit is equipped with a one-page memory buffer. This memory allows the unit to
scan an original once only and make up to 99 copies. This feature improves
workflow, reduces operation noise from the copier, and provides higher reliability by
reducing wear and tear on the scanning mechanism.
If the unit does not function properly during use, or if a function cannot
be used, see "TROUBLESHOOTING THE UNIT" (p.50).
MAKING COPIES
