If the optional job separator tray kit is installed, the printed document is output on
the job separator tray.

The output tray full indicator lights up and printing stops when
approximately 100 printed sheets are output to the job separator tray.
Similarly, the output tray full indicator blinks and copying stops
when approximately 150 copied sheets are output to the lower tray
(with the job separator installed).
If this happens, remove the documents from the tray and press the
CLEAR ALL key to resume printing or copying.

●

When copying is performed, copying always overrides any print job. Print data is held
while copies are being made. After completion of copying, the waiting print job will
start when any of the following occur:

●

The auto clear time elapses. 

*

●

60 seconds elapses (when the auto clear time is disabled 

* 

).

●

You press the CLEAR ALL key on the operation panel.

*

For more information on the auto clear time setting, refer to "

USER PROGRAMS

" in the

copier operation manual.

●

When you send a print job in the preheat mode or auto power shut-off mode, the
printer  automatically leaves these modes, warms up if necessary, and starts printing.

●

Proper printing cannot be done if the paper size specified on the computer differs from
that loaded in this printer. Re-set the paper size or load this printer with the correct
paper specified on the computer.
