The paper types* that the Auto Paper Selection function 
will select can be specified. Select one of the following 
settings:

• Plain Paper
• Plain and Recycle Paper
• Recycle Paper

Select the desired paper type setting and touch the [OK] 
key.
The Auto Paper Selection function will not select any 
paper types other than the paper types specified with 
this setting.
* The paper type set for each paper tray using "

(general).

If the colour of text or lines is off when colour printing is 
performed, the colours CMY can be adjusted using K 
(black) as a reference.
To perform this adjustment, touch the [Auto Adjustment] 
key. A message will appear. Touch the [Execute] key.

This function optimizes the hard drive of the machine by 
defragmenting data. If a job is in progress, a message 
will appear and optimization will not begin until the job is 
finished. During optimization, the following operations 
are not possible:

• Web page access, reception of print data
• Use of keys on the operation panel
• Turning off the power with the main power switch of 

the machine.

• Auto Power Shut-Off

When optimization is completed, the machine will 
automatically restart.

This setting is used to configure the IP address and port 
number of the slave machine when you wish to use two 
machines (which are used as TCP/IP network printers) 
in a tandem connection for printing.

For each entry box, select the box, enter the appropriate 
value with the numeric keys, and touch the [OK] key.
To disable the sending of tandem printing jobs, select the 
[Disabling of Master Machine Mode] checkbox 

 and 

touch the [OK] key. (Normally this setting is not necessary.)
To disable the reception of tandem printing jobs, select 
the [Disabling of Slave Machine Mode] checkbox 

 

and touch the [OK] key. (Normally this setting is not 
necessary.)

This is used to clear the entire job log. (There is normally 
no need to use this function.)
A log file is kept of jobs run on the machine. The job log 
can be used to check general use of the machine. The 
job log can be written to a computer in CSV format using 
a Web browser.

When colour mode is set to auto in copy mode, five 
levels are available for the detection of the original. 
Specify the number with the 

 keys. When the 

"Closer to B/W" setting is configured, it makes the 
original easier to be detected as black and white original. 
When the "Closer colour" setting is configured, it makes 
the original easier to be detected as a colour original.

If auto adjustment is not successful, the [Auto 
Adjustment] key will be temporarily disabled to prevent 
repeated execution. The next time the registration 
adjustment screen is opened after moving to another 
screen, the key will return to normal.

When the document filing function is frequently used 
and output of files seems somewhat slow, optimizing 
the hard drive may improve performance.

• The factory default setting for the port number is 

[50001]. Unless you experience difficulty with this 
setting, do not change the port number.

• To use the tandem function when user 

authentication is enabled, the same user 
information must be stored on both the master 
machine and slave machine. If the same user 
information is not stored, the page count may not be 
added to the appropriate user count or only the 
master machine may print.

Colour balance values obtained using "Colour Balance" 
in the special modes can be stored in a program (1 to 
48), and those values can be called up and stored as the 
initial colour balance setting.* Use this feature when you 
want to repeatedly use a colour balance setting for a 
favourite colour or for correction when a change occurs 
in the colour balance.
* Preset values displayed when you select "Colour 

Balance" in the special modes. The factory default 
settings are the "0" position for all eight levels of each 
colour.

Touch the key of the stored job program number and 
then touch the [OK] key. (A key of a job program that has 
not been stored cannot be selected.)
To return the stored initial colour balance setting to the 
factory default setting (the "0" position for all eight levels 
of each colour), touch the [Return to the Factory Default 
Setting] key and then touch the [OK] key.

This is used to perform automatic colour correction when 
the colour in colour copies is off. The machine prints a 
test patch, the test patch is scanned, and the colour is 
automatically corrected.

After the [Execute] key is touched and a test patch is 
printed, a message appears prompting you to begin 
automatic calibration. Place the test patch on the 
document glass as shown below so that the narrow line 
of one-side of the paper is on the left and touch the 
[Execute] key.

Lay copy paper (about five sheets) that is the same size 
as the test patch on top of the placed test patch, and 
gently close the automatic document feeder.
