Making copies

This chapter describes basic copying functions and some other copying functions using the
bypass tray.

This copier has two document input stations -reversing single pass feeder (RSPF) for automatic
document feeding and an original table for manual handling of documents. The RSPF is designed
to hold up to 30 originals measuring from A5 to B4 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 10" x 14") and weighing
from 52 to 90

 (14 to 23 lbs.).

When copying from the RSPF, two-side originals can be copied automatically without having to
manually turn them over.
Automatic two-sided copying can also be performed with this copier. When copying from one-
sided originals to two-sided copies, copying orientation can be selected between Turn on Long
Edge and Turn on Short Edge.

●

When making two-sided copies from the original table, the copy paper size
must be A4 (8-1/2" x 11"). When making two-sided copies from the RSPF,
letter, legal, and invoice sizes can be used. Non-standard size paper cannot
be used.

●

When making two-sided copies from the RSPF, a multiple number of copies
cannot be set.

●

When making two-sided copies, the bypass tray cannot be used.

●

When using two-sided invoice size originals from the RSPF, be sure to place
them in the landscape orientation. Otherwise, an original misfeed will occur.

Ensure that paper of the desired size is set in the paper tray. See page 10, LOADING
COPY PAPER. When copying onto paper larger than A4 (8-1/2" x 11") size, pull out
the paper output tray extension. If you use another tray, use the tray select (

) key

to select the desired tray.

Making copies

Turn the power switch on.
The ready (

) indicator will light up.

●

The copier will enter a power save mode once the set time has elapsed
without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or power is
turned on.
The settings of the power save modes can be modified. See page 21, USER
PROGRAMS.

●

The copier will return to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the
last copy is made. The preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be changed.
See page 21, USER PROGRAMS.

Place the original(s) face up in the document feeder tray or face down on the original
table.

(1) Make sure that no original is left on the original table.
(2) Adjust the original guides to the size of originals.
(3) Set the originals face up in the document feeder tray.

●

Before feeding originals in the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any
staples or paper clips from them.

●

Before placing curled or wavy originals into the document feeding tray, be
sure to flatten them. If not, original misfeeds may result.

●

The RSPF (

) indicator on the operation panel will light up. If this indicator

does not light up, the originals are not properly set or the RSPF is not properly
closed.

●

Badly damaged originals may misfeed in the RSPF. It is recommended that
such originals be copied from the original table.

●

Special originals such as transparency film should not be fed through the
RSPF, but should be placed directly on the original table.

●

Image loss (max. 4 mm (5/32")) can occur at the leading and trailing edges of
the copies. Also image loss (max. 4.5 mm (11/64") in total) can occur along
the other edges of the copies. It can be 6 mm (15/64") (max.) at the trailing
edge of the second copy of two-sided copying.
