Importanto If you use damp or curled paper, a misfeed might occur. In such a case, try turning over the

paper stack in the paper tray. If there is no improvement, change to copy paper with less curl. Note

o If you load paper of the same size and in the same orientation in two or more trays, themachine automatically shifts to another tray when the tray in use runs out of paper.

COPYING

Auto StartYou can make copy settings and press the{Start} key when the message Please Waitis on (The {Start} key flashes in red and greenalternately). This function is called AutoStart.

Noteo The machine gets ready for copying ap-

proximately in 5 minutes after power isturned on.

Auto ResetThe machine returns to its initial conditionautomatically after your job is finished, aftera certain period of time. This function is calledAuto Reset.

Noteo You can change the Auto Reset time. See

P.97 Auto reset.o The machine might not reset itself auto-

matically in the following cases: Originals are left uncopied. The machine senses the presence of a

human body.

Screen SaverThe machine automatically clears the paneldisplay after your job is finished, after a cer-tain period of time. This function is calledScreen Saver.

Noteo You can change the Screen Saver time. See

P.96 Screen Saver.

Low Power TimerThe machine enters the energy saver modewhen you take no action for a certain periodafter your job is finished. This function iscalled Low Power Timer.

Noteo You can set the time after which the en-

ergy saver mode is entered. See P.97Low Power Timer.

o The machine exits the energy saver modeand gets ready for copy processing when ahuman moves on before the front of themachine (Auto Response Sensor).

Auto OffThe machine turns itself off automatically af-ter your job is finished, after a certain periodof time. This function is called Auto off.

Noteo You can set the Auto off time. See P.97

Auto off.

21

Limitationo Set the original after correction fluid and

ink have completely dried. Not taking thisprecaution could mark the exposure glassand cause marks to be copied.

o The maximum load that the (optional)original tray can carry is 4 kg (8.8lb). Setthe originals gently.

Noteo Basically the originals should be aligned

to the rear left corner. However, some copyfunctions may produce different resultsdepending on the orientation of the origi-nals. For details, see the individual func-tional descriptions.

Noteo See P.11 ORIGINALS.

Setting Originals On TheExposure Glass

1 Lift the platen cover or the documentfeeder.

Noteo Be sure to open the platen cover or the

document feeder by more than 30, other-wise the original size might not be detectedcorrectly.

2 Set the original face down on the expo-sure glass. The original should bealigned to the rear left corner.

3 Lower the platen cover or the documentfeeder.

Noteo Be sure to close the platen cover or the

document feeder when setting the originalon the exposure glass. The machine mightfail to sense the correct original size if yourhand, arm, or sleeve is placed on the expo-sure glass.

COPYING

Setting Originals In theDocument Feeder

Noteo The last page should be on the bottom.o If there are more originals than that can be

set at a time, divide the originals into sev-eral blocks and set the blocks sequentiallystarting at the last block.

o Do not stack originals beyond the limitmark on the side fence of the documentfeeder.

o When copying thin originals (41 - 52 g/m2, 11-14lb), set one original at a time inthe document feeder or exposure glass. See P.25 Thin Paper.

o The original might become dirty if it is writ-ten with a pencil or similar tools.

ReferenceRegarding originals that the document feedercan handle, see P.11 ORIGINALS.

Setting a stack of originals in thedocument feeder

1 Adjust the guide to the original size.2 Set the aligned originals face up into the

document feeder.

Noteo To avoid a multi-sheet feed, shuffle the

originals before setting them in the docu-ment feeder.

Setting One Original At A Time(SADF)mode1 Set one original and press the {Start}

key.

2 Set the next original while the Feed in-dicator is lit.The second and subsequent originals canbe fed automatically without pressing the{Start} key.

Noteo You can adjust the time the machine waits

before being ready for the next original.See P.97 SADF Auto reset.

Special OriginalYou must select the Mixed Sizes, Pasted Origi-nal, and Thin Paper function when settingoriginals of different sizes, pasted originals,and originals made up of thin paper, respec-tively. You can also lower the volume of thenoise that the document feeder generates dur-ing paper feed by selecting the Quiet Feedfunction at the same time.

Noteo You can define the function that is selected

by default when you select the SpecialOriginal function. See P.102 Specialoriginal mode priority setting.

Mixed SizesThe machine automatically reads the size ofthe originals of different sizes you set in thedocument feeder .

Limitationo You can use the following sizes:

Metric version: A3L, B4L,A4KL, B5KL,

Inch version: 11" 17"L, 81/2" 11"KL,81/2" 14"L

o The machine may fail to copy parts of im-age if you set originals of different sizes inthe document feeder without selecting theMixed Sized function.

o The weight of originals that can be set withthis function is 52 to 80 g/m2 (14-21lb).

o For smaller originals, the copy image mightbe slanted since the originals might not becorrectly aligned with the original guide.

o You cannot select both the Mixed Sizes andPasted Original functions at the same time.

o You cannot select the following functiononce you selected the Mixed Sized func-tion: Combine Cover/Slip sheet Preset
