NORMAL COPYING
COPYING FROM THE DOCUMENT GLASS
1
Open the document cover/RSPF and 
place the original face down on the 
document glass.
[How to place the original]
Align the corner or the original with the tip of the arrow 
(
) at the left rear corner of the glass as shown in the 
illustration.
2
Close the document cover/RSPF.
The original size appears 
in the touch panel.
After placing the original, be 
sure to close the document 
cover/RSPF. If left open, 
parts outside of the original 
will be copied black, causing 
excessive use of toner.
3
Make sure that the same size of paper as 
the original is automatically selected.
The selected tray is 
highlighted. If the tray 
contains a different size of 
paper than the original, 
"LOAD xxxx PAPER." will 
appear.
Even if the message above is displayed, copying can 
be performed using the selected paper tray.
Manually selecting the paper size (paper tray)
If auto paper selection is disabled in the key operator 
programs, or if you wish to use a different size of paper 
than the original, touch the [PAPER SELECT] key and 
select the paper tray with the desired paper size.  (The 
selected paper will be highlighted and the paper selecting 
screen will close.)
To close the screen without selecting a paper size, touch 
the [PAPER SELECT] key again.
4
Select the number of copies and any 
other desired copy settings, and then 
press the [START] key (
).
• The number in the copy quantity display will 
decrease by 1 each time a copy is made.
• If you are only making a single copy, the copy can be 
made with the copy number display showing "0".
• To clear a mistake, press the [CLEAR] key (
).
If "AUDITING MODE" (p.57) has been enabled, enter your 5-digit account number.
Note
If the original size is not automatically 
detected, manually set the original size. (p.47)

function can be selected, or the function 
disabled, in the key operator programs. (See 
the "Key operator's guide".)

touching the [PAPER SELECT] key and 
selecting the bypass tray or a paper tray 
that has the same size and type of paper 
loaded in the same orientation.
