The reversing single pass feeder (RSPF) can automatically feed multi-page documents.
If the RSPF is installed, two-sided originals can be copied automatically without having to manually turn them over.

Standard supplies for this product that are to be replaced by the user are paper and the toner cartridge.

• clean and dry,
• at a stable temperature,
• not exposed to direct sunlight.

Paper stored out of the wrapper or in packages 
standing on end may curl or get damp, resulting in 
paper misfeeds.
