MAKING COPIES
NORMAL COPYING
This copier has two document input stations — a single
pass feeder (SPF) for automatic document feeding and an
original table for manual handling of bound documents.
The SPF is designed to hold up to 30 originals measuring
from 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17" and in the weight range of
15 to 24 lbs.
● Before loading originals into the SPF, be sure to remove
any staples or paper clips from them.
● Damaged or crumpled originals may misfeed in the SPF.
It is recommended that these originals be copied from the
original table.
● Special originals such as transparency film and tracing
paper should not be fed from the SPF, but should be
placed directly on the original table.
● Image loss (max. 5/32" (4 mm)) can occur at the leading
edge of the copies. It can be 15/64" (6 mm) at the trailing
edge of the copies which are made using the SPF. Also
image loss (max. 5/32" (4 mm) in total) can occur along
the other edges of the copies.
Using the SPF
1 Turn the power switch on.
● It will take about 35 seconds for the copier to warm up.
However, you can make desired settings and press the START (
)
key during warm-up. Copying will start after warm-up.
● If the power is already on and all indicators except the POWER SAVE
indicator are off, the copier is in the auto power shut-off mode. Press
the START key in this case. See page 52, POWER SAVE MODES.
2 Ensure that no original is left on the original table.
3 Adjust the original guides to the size of the originals.
4 Set the originals face up in the document feeder tray.
● The SPF indicator will light up. If this indicator does not light up, the
originals are not properly set or the SPF is not properly closed.
● The ORIGINAL SIZE indicator for the detected original size will light
up, and the paper tray with the corresponding paper size will be
automatically selected if that paper size is available.
● The auto paper select function can be disabled using user program No.
8. If this function has been disabled, use the TRAY SELECT (
)
key to select the desired paper tray. See page 49, USER PROGRAMS.
● To copy onto a different size paper, use the TRAY SELECT ( ) key
to make the selection.
● The bypass tray cannot be automatically selected.
5 Adjust the copy density.
● This copier has three exposure modes to choose from — AUTOMATIC
(
), MANUAL ( ), and PHOTO ( ).
● Automatic exposure is the standard initial setting for this copier. In this
mode, the characteristics of the original are “read” by the exposure
system and adjustments are automatically made. This optimizes the
contrast of the copied images by reducing the effect of colored or
shaded background areas. See page 28 to adjust the automatic exposure
level.
