Positioning Originals

To position originals accurately,
use the guide plate located on
the right side of the platen glass.

CAUTION:

Close the platen cover gently to avoid catching
your hand, as this may result in personal injury.

• If your original conforms to a standard

paper size (e.g., STMT or LTR), align
the original between the appropriate
paper size marks on the guide plate.

original, or if your original does not
match any of the given paper size
marks, align the center of your original
with the

mark at the center of the

guide plate.

Adjusting the Copy
Exposure

This copier comes with an automatic
exposure control mode. When this mode is
set the copier pre-scans the original and
automatically adjusts the copy exposure to
the most appropriate level. The auto
exposure control may not produce clear
copies on the following types of originals:
• Originals with a shaded or dark

background (e.g., newspapers).

• Light or faint originals (e.g., pencil written

work).

Adjustment using exposure
recalibration switch

Insert a coin or similar object into the slot in
the exposure recalibration switch. This switch
has three positions.
