MAKING A COPY DARKER OR LIGHTER
Automatic exposure adjustment is initially enabled. This function automatically adjusts the copy image according to
the original being copied. If you wish to select the exposure level yourself, follow the steps below. (Select from two
original types and five exposure levels for each original type.) The exposure level used in automatic exposure
adjustment can also be changed. ("ADJUSTING THE AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE LEVEL" (p.42))
Original types
● AUTO ......Automatic exposure adjustment is enabled and the exposure is automatically adjusted according to the
original being copied. The exposure is lowered for colored areas and background shadows.

SELECTING THE TRAY
Auto paper select mode (p. 20) normally operates (unless it has been disabled), and thus when the original is placed
on the document glass and the original size is selected, or when the original is placed in the SPF/RSPF, the tray with
the same size of paper as the original is automatically selected. If you wish to use a tray other than the automatically
selected tray (for example you wish to enlarge or reduce the copy or use the bypass tray), press the [TRAY SELECT]
key (
) to select the desired tray.
Auto tray switching
If the tray runs out of paper during copying and there is another tray with the same size of paper and the same
feeding orientation (horizontal or vertical), the other tray is automatically selected and copying continues. "Auto tray
switching" can be disabled in the user programs. (p.44)
To return to automatic adjustment, press until
the AUTO indicator lights.
