The TD cartridge replacement required (   ) indicator will light up
when toner is needed. If copying is continued while the     indicator
is lit, copies will gradually become lighter until the copier stops and the
indicator begins blinking. Replace the old TD cartridge by following the
procedure given below.

Note:

● After the copier stops, it may be possible to make a few

more copies by taking the TD cartridge out of the copier,
shaking it horizontally, then reinstalling it. If copying is
not possible after this operation, replace the TD
cartridge.

● During long copy run of a dark original, the ready (    )

indicator may blink, the   indicator light up, and the
copier stop, even though toner is left. The copier will feed
toner up to 2 minutes and then the ready (    ) indicator
will light up. Press the print (    ) key to restart copying.

Note: This copier is equipped with two paper trays. Load copy paper

into the two paper trays.

1) Raise the handle of the paper tray and pull the paper tray out until

it stops.

2) Remove the pressure plate lock. Rotate the pressure plate lock in

the direction of the arrow to remove it while pressing down the pres-

and the screw which has been removed when unpacking in the
front of the paper tray. To store the pressure plate lock, rotate the
lock to fix it on the relevant location.

4) Adjust the paper guides on the paper tray to the copy paper width

and length.
Squeeze the lever of paper guide (A) and slide the guide to match

Move paper guide (B) to the appropriate slot as marked on the tray.

5) Fan the copy paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure the edges

go under the corner hooks.

tarting copying, press the clear (    ) key.  The “P” in the display
