This program is used to prohibit changes to the clock
adjust setting. When the program is enabled, "Clock" in
the custom settings cannot be used. To adjust the date
and time, this program must first be disabled (remove
the checkmark).

Use these programs when a peripheral device on the
machine has failed or when you wish to temporarily
disable a device. The programs can also be used to
change the function setting of a device as required by
your conditions of use.
"Device control" consists of the following programs:

● Original size detector setting
● Disabling of document feeder
● Disabling of duplex
● Disabling of large capacity cassette
● Disabling of stapler
● Disabling of punch
● Disabling of finisher
● Disabling of inserter
● Disabling of covers/inserts mode
● Saddle stitch position adjust
● Auto switching of finisher trays
● Rotated output
● Auto paper selection setting

This program is used to select the standard original
sizes that can be detected by the original size detection
function. Select one of the four groups indicated below.
The factory default setting is "AB-1 (INCH-1)". Original
size detection by the document glass can also be
disabled.

If "CANCEL DETECTION AT DOCUMENT GLASS" is
set, originals will be regarded as EXTRA for all copier
functions and no original size will be displayed.

This program is used to prevent use of the reversing
automatic document feeder when it malfunctions. In
this case, scanning can still be performed using the
document glass.

This program is used to disable duplex printing when
the duplex module malfunctions. If this program is set,
only one-sided printing can be performed.

Use this program when you wish to prohibit use of the
large capacity cassette or when it has failed.

This program is used to disable stapling when the
stapler unit of the finisher or the saddle stitch finisher
malfunctions.

Use this program when you wish to prohibit punching
or when the punch unit of the finisher or saddle stitch
finisher has failed.

Use this program when you wish to prohibit use of the
finisher or saddle stitch finisher, or when either has
failed.

Use this program when you wish to prohibit use of the
inserter or when it has failed.

Use this program when you wish to prohibit use of the

This program is used to adjust the stapling position
(folding position) when using the saddle stitch function
of the optional saddle stitch finisher.
The value can be adjusted in 0.25 mm increments
within ±2.00 mm from the reference position for each
paper size.

[AUTOMATIC SADDLE STITCH] checkmark
The saddle stitch print function can normally be divided
into the following three general steps.
1. The pages of the original are automatically

reordered to allow saddle stitch binding (saddle
stitch function).

2. The pages are folded at the centre.
3. The paper is stapled at the centre in two places

(saddle stitch stapling).

The [AUTOMATIC SADDLE STITCH] checkbox is
selected by default.
Selection of the checkbox assumes the use of the
above saddle stitch printing function (three steps).

Saddle stitch stapling exceptions
Depending on the purpose of saddle stitch stapling, it
may be necessary to perform saddle stitch stapling on
printed matter that has already been bound by saddle
stitching. In this case, it is necessary to disable step 1
above. If you frequently perform this type of
exceptional saddle stitch stapling that requires
disabling step 1, remove the checkmark from the
[AUTOMATIC SADDLE STITCH] checkbox.

Output to the upper tray of the saddle stitch finisher or
finisher normally stops if a large number of sheets
accumulates in the tray and the tray full sensor
activates. This program can be used to have output
automatically switched to the lower tray when this
happens so that printing can continue. To enable the
program, select the "AUTO SWITCHING OF
FINISHER TRAYS" checkbox.
This setting is not effective when a tray other than the
upper tray of the saddle stitch finisher or finisher is set
as the output tray.

When Rotated output is turned on, you can have the
paper output orientation (A4-size paper only) of each
set of copies alternate between horizontal and vertical.
This function is used to sort output when neither the
Finisher peripheral nor the Saddle stitch finisher
peripheral are installed.
* To use this function, A4-size paper must be loaded

both horizontally and vertically in the paper trays. This
function works when paper is output to the centre tray.

The function does not work in the following cases:
• When paper is output to the Finisher peripheral or the

Saddle stitch finisher.

• Printing in Group mode.
• When a letter-size original is printed on A4-size

paper using the "A4/letter size auto change" key
operator program (page 5-5 of the "Operation
manual (for printer)").

• When "Transparency Inserts" or "Different Paper

settings" is selected in the printer driver.

• When the "Paper Source" drop down in the "Paper

Selection" is set to any selection other than "Auto
Select" in the printer driver.

• When the printing paper size for a stored job or a job in

progress has been overridden and changed to A4 size.

Use this program to select the paper type* for which the
automatic paper selection function operates.
Selections are "PLAIN PAPER", "PLAIN AND
RECYCLE PAPER", and "RECYCLE PAPER".
* The paper type set for each paper tray in the paper

tray settings of the user settings (page 2-10 of the
"Operation manual (for general information and
copier operation)").

This program is used to print lists and reports that can
only be printed from the key operator programs.
• Touch the [KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS LISTS]

key to print one of the following groups:
Copy, printer, fax/image send, document filing,
general, security, all program lists

• Touch a key other than the [KEY OPERATOR

PROGRAMS LISTS] key to begin printing a list or report.

When interrupt copying is performed, Rotated output
does not take place to distinguish the output of
regular copying from interrupt copying. Also,
Rotated output cannot be used to sort output by job.

This program is used to change the key operator code
that must be entered to configure the key operator
programs. When the machine is first used, the key
operator should change the key operator code that was
set at the factory to the desired 5-digit code. Only one
key operator code can be programmed.
The factory default setting for the key operator code is
00000.

Use these programs to enter the product keys for the
following options.

This program is used to enter the product key for the
PS3 expansion kit (this allows the machine to be used
as a PostScript compatible printer).
Ask your dealer for the product key.

This program is used to enter the product key for the
network scanner expansion kit.

These programs are used to return the key operator
programs to the factory default settings, to store the
current key operator program settings, and to restore
stored key operator program settings. (Note that this
also includes printer configuration settings.)
The following programs are available:

● Restore factory defaults
● Store current configuration
● Restore configuration

This program is used to return the key operator
program settings (including the printer configuration
settings) to the factory default settings.

 

If you need a

record of the settings prior to restoration of the default
settings, print the key operator program list "List print"
(page 12).

This program is used to return the key operator program
settings (including the printer configuration settings) to
the factory default settings. The stored settings will
remain in memory even if the power switch is turned off.
To read the stored settings, use the following "Restore
configuration" program.

This program is used to read the configuration that was
stored using the "Store current configuration" program
and restore it as the current configuration.
The currently set configuration will change to the
configuration read from memory.

After this program is set, exit the key operator
program, turn off the power switch, and then turn on
the power switch again after at least 3 seconds.  The
program will be effective at this time.

A confirmation message will appear at the end of the
setting procedure of programs marked by *1. If you
need to cancel execution of the program, touch the
[NO] key.

This chapter explains the key operator programs that are used for copy mode.

"Copy settings" consists of the following programs:

● Initial status settings
● Exposure adjustment
● Rotation copy setting
● Add or change extra preset ratios
● Initial margin shift setting
● Erase width adjustment

*1

● Card shot settings

*1

● Initial tab copy setting
● Setting a maximum number of copies
● Disabling deletion of job programs
● Disabling of bypass-tray in duplex copy
● Disabling of auto paper selection

*1 Default settings selected with these programs apply

to all functions of the machine (not just the copy
function).

The copy settings revert to the default settings when
the power switch is turned on, when the [CA] key is
pressed, or when the auto clear time elapses. This
program is used to change the default settings, or
return changed default settings to the initial factory
default settings.
Defaults for the following copy settings can be
changed:
Paper tray/Exposure tray/Copy ratio/2-sided copy/Out
put (sort/non-sort, staple sort/non-staple, output tray)

This program is used to adjust the exposure level when
"Auto" is used for the copy exposure.
The factory setting is "5". "1" indicates lighter density
and "9" indicates darker density on the touch panel.

If this program is set, the image of originals will rotate
when the orientation of the originals does not match
that of the copy paper.
(Rotation copy will function only if the auto paper select
or auto image mode has been selected.)

When using AB sizes, there are normally five preset
enlargement ratios and five preset reduction ratios.
When using inch sizes, there are normally four preset
enlargement ratios and four preset reduction ratios.
This program allows you to add two more preset
enlargement ratios and two more preset reduction ratios.
This program also allows you to change a preset ratio.

This program is used to set the initial margin shift
amount.
The initial margin shift amount can be set from 0 mm to
20 mm (0" to 1") in increments of 1 mm (1/8").
Normally the margin shift is set to 10 mm (1/2") for both
the front and back of the paper.

This program is used to set the initial width of edge
erase copying.
The edge erase width can be set from 0 mm to 20 mm
(0" to 1") in increments of 1 mm (1/8").
The edge erase and center erase widths are normally
set to 10 mm (1/2").

This program is used to set the initial original size for
the card shot function.
Enter the X dimension (width) first and then the Y
dimension (length).
Both the X and Y dimensions can be set from 25 mm to
210 mm (1" to 8-1/2") in increments of 1 mm (1/8").

If this program is used to change the default setting
for the duplex function to other than "one-sided" 
"one-sided" and the automatic document feeder fails
or is disabled, the setting will revert to "one-sided" 
"one-sided".
* DISABLING OF DOCUMENT FEEDER (page 11)

DISABLING OF DUPLEX (page 11)

For copying from A5 or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size originals
onto A5R or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R paper, this program
must be set.

Only an added preset ratio can be changed.
