Ensure that the power switch of the unit is in the OFF position. Plug the other end of

the power cord into the nearest outlet. Turn the power switch on the left side of the

unit to the "ON" position. The start ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators

which show the initial settings of the operation panel will also light up to indicate the

ready condition. For the initial settings, see the "Initial settings of operation panel"

described on the next page.

About the scan head

The scan head lamp remains on constantly when the unit is in the ready condition

(when the start ( ) indicator is illuminated).

The unit adjusts the scan head lamp periodically to maintain copying quality. At this

time, the scan head moves automatically. This is normal and does not indicate unit

trouble.

If you use the unit in a country other than the country where the unit was

purchased, you will need to make sure that your local power supply is

compatible with your model. If you plug the unit into an incompatible

power supply, irreparable damage to the unit will result.

Only insert the power cord into a properly grounded wall socket.

Do not use extension cords or power strips.

• The unit will enter a power save mode once the set time has elapsed

without any unit operation. The settings of the power save modes can

be modified. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.55).

• The unit will return to the initial settings a preset amount of time after

the end of copy or scanner job. The preset amount of time (auto clear

time) can be changed. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.55).

Initial settings of operation panel

When the unit power is on, the operation panel will revert to the initial settings when

the time set with the "Auto clear time" setting (p.55) elapses after a copy or scanner

job is finished, or when the clear ( ) key is pressed twice.

The initial settings of the operation panel are shown below.

When copying is begun in this state, the settings in the following table are used.

Power off methods

If not used for a certain period of time, the unit will automatically enter auto power

shut-off mode (p.54) in order to minimize power consumption. In cases where the

machine will not be used for a long time, turn off the power switch and remove the

power cord from the outlet.

guide A

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

under the corner hooks.

6Gently push the paper tray back into the unit.

Do not load paper above the maximum height line ( ). Exceeding

the line will cause a paper misfeed.

• After loading paper, to cancel the blinking without restarting

copying, press the clear ( ) key. The in the display will go out

and the start ( ) indicator will light up.

• Be sure that paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent

edges.

• Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.

• When loading paper, ensure there is no space between the paper and

the guide, and check if the guide is not set too narrow causing the

paper to bend. Loading paper in these ways will result in document

skew or a paper jam.

• When not using the unit for an extended period, remove all paper from

the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the unit for

an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air,

resulting in paper jams.

• When adding new paper to the paper tray, remove the old paper

already contained in the tray. Placing new paper on top of the paper

already contained in the tray may result in feeding two sheets at one

time.

BYPASS FEED (including special paper)

The multi-bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels,

envelopes, and other special purpose paper. Paper measuring from 3-1/2" x 5-1/2"

to 8-1/2" x 14" and in the weight range of 14 lbs. to 34.5 lbs. (52g/m 2 to 128g/m 2) can

be used in this tray. (For paper weighing from 28 lbs. to 34.5 lbs. (105g/m 2 to

128g/m 2), 8-1/2" x 11" is the maximum size.)

The multi-bypass tray

1Open the multi-bypass tray and extend the tray.

• The multi-bypass tray can hold maximum of 50 sheets of paper.

(Capacity will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.)

• The original image must be smaller than the paper or media for

copying. If the original image is bigger than the paper or media, this

may cause smudges on the edges of the copies.

To close the multi-

bypass tray,

perform step 1

and then step 2 in

the illustration and

push the round

projections at the

right of the tray

until they click.

2Set the paper guides to the paper width. Insert the paper (print

face down) all the way into the multi-bypass tray.

3Press the tray select ( ) key to select the multi-bypass tray.

• Paper must be fed narrow side into the feed slot.

•

Special papers such as transparency film, labels, and envelopes

must be fed one sheet at a time through the multi-bypass tray.

• When copying onto transparency film, remove each copy

promptly. Do not let copies stack up.

Note for loading envelopes

• Envelopes must be fed narrow side into the feed slot at a time.

• Do not use non-standard envelopes, and envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic snappers,

string closures, windows, linings, self-adhesive, patches or synthetic materials. Do not use

envelopes that are filled with air or envelopes that have labels or stamps attached.

• Envelopes of which the surface is not flat because of embossing may cause the

copies/prints to become smudged.

• Under high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some envelopes

may become sticky and be sealed closed when copied/printed.

• Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed

envelopes may be poorly printed or may cause misfeeds.

• Be sure to select either Com10, DL, C5 or Monarch on the paper size setting of the

printer driver. (For detailed information on printer driver, refer to the online manual.)

• It is recommended that you perform a test print before performing the actual copied/

printed job.
