MAIN FEATURES

High-speed laser copying

• First-copy time*

• Copying speed is 16 copies per minute. This is ideal for business use and provides a big boost to workplace

productivity.

*1First-Copy time may vary depending on the power-supply voltage, ambient temperature, and other operating conditions.
*2"dpi" ("dots per inch") is unit that is used to measure resolution. Resolution indicates how much detail can be reproduced in

a printed or scanned image.

High-quality digital image

• High-quality copying at 600 dpi is performed.

• In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, two original modes can be selected: "TEXT" for text-only originals,

and "PHOTO" for photographs. The exposure can be adjusted to five levels in each mode.

• The photo mode copying function allows clear copying of delicate halftone original images such as monochrome

photos and color photos.

Enhanced copying features

• The START indicator is lit. (Initial state)

• The POWER SAVE indicator ( ) is lit. ("Preheat
mode" or "Auto power shut-off" mode)

Power Save Modes

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reducing the cost
of operation. In addition, these modes conserve natural resources and help reduce environmental
pollution. The two power save modes are "Preheat mode" and "Auto power shut-off mode".

Preheat mode

This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the set duration of time
elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. The POWER SAVE indicator ( ) lights up,
however, the keys on the operation panel can be used. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the
operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, or a print job is received.

Auto power shut-off mode

This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the
set duration of time elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. All lights except the POWER
SAVE indicator ( ) and ON LINE indicator ( ) go off. To resume normal operation, press the [START] key ( ).
Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job is received. While in auto power shut-off mode, no
keys (except the [START] key ( )) can be used.

Special papers

Follow these guidelines when using special papers.

● Use TOSHIBA recommended transparency film and label sheets. Using other than TOSHIBA
recommended paper may result in misfeeds or smudges on the output. If other than TOSHIBA
recommended media must be used, feed each sheet one at a time using the bypass tray (do not attempt
continuous copying or printing).

● There are many varieties of special paper available on the market, and some cannot be used with this
machine. Before using special paper, contact your authorized service representative.

● Before using other than TOSHIBA recommended paper, make a test copy to see if the paper is suitable.

• When loading envelopes, make sure that they are straight and flat and do not have loosely glued construction

flaps (not the closure flap).

• Special papers except TOSHIBA recommended transparency film, labels, and envelopes must be fed one sheet at

a time through the bypass tray.

• When adding paper, first remove any paper remaining in the tray, combine it with the paper to be added and then

reload as a single stack. The paper to be added must be the same size and type as the paper already in the tray.

• Do not use paper that is smaller than the original. This may cause smudges or unclean images.
