Depending on the model you have and on the options installed, some of the illustrations 
in this manual may be different, however, the basic operations are the same.

When references are made to paper size and weights, the inch series values are 
quoted in brackets.
For example:

 is only 9.6 seconds.

Copying speed is 15 copies per minute. This is ideal for business use and provides a 
big boost to workplace productivity.

The copy time in the case when the power is turned on and copying using the 
document glass is started immediately after the power save indicator goes off (A4, 
paper fed from paper tray).
The first-copy time may vary depending on machine operating conditions and 
ambient conditions such as temperature.

"dpi" ("dots per inch") is unit that is used to measure resolution. Resolution 
indicates how much detail can be reproduced in a printed or scanned image.

• High-quality copying at 600 dpi is performed.
• In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, two original modes can be selected: 

"TEXT" for text-only originals, and "PHOTO" for photographs. The exposure can 
be adjusted to five levels in each mode.

• The photo mode copying function allows clear copying of delicate halftone original 

images such as monochrome photos and colour photos.

SPF/RSPF

• Document cover (Standard)
• SPF (Optional)
• RSPF (Optional)

• Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in increments of 1%. (When the 

SPF/RSPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)

• Continuous copying of up to 99 copies is possible.
• Sets of output can be offset from each other for easy separation (offset function).
• Sorting by sets is possible without the need for a sorter or other special device 

(Sort copy).

• Includes convenient features such as margin shift, 2 IN 1 copy, and automatic two-

sided copying.

• The machine is equipped with a memory buffer allowing the machine to scan an 

original once and make up to 99 copies of the scanned image. This improves 
workflow, reduces operating noise from the machine and reduces wear and tear 
on the scanning mechanism, which provides for a higher reliability.

• The LCD panel displays messages that show function settings and the status of 

the machine.

• The accompanying printer driver can be installed to enable use of the machine as 

a printer. 

• The accompanying scanner driver can be installed and the machine connected to 

a computer using a USB cable to enable use as a scanner. 

• The optional Facsimile Expansion Kit can be installed to enable the machine to be 

used as a fax machine. (Facsimile Expansion Kit Operation Manual)

• The optional Network Expansion Kit can be installed to enable the machine to be 

used as a network printer and network scanner. (Network Expansion Kit Operation 
Manual)

• Preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode are provided to reduce power 

consumption when the machine is not in use.

• A universal design has been implemented in the product whereby the height of the 

operation panel and shape of the keys are designed to be usable by as many 
people as possible.
