"dpi" ("dots per inch") is unit that is used to measure resolution. Resolution 
indicates how much detail can be reproduced in a printed or scanned image.

• High-quality copying at 600 dpi is performed.
• In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, two original modes can be selected: 

"TEXT" for text-only originals, and "PHOTO" for photographs. The exposure can be 
adjusted to five levels in each mode.

• The photo mode copying function allows clear copying of delicate halftone original 

images such as monochrome photos and color photos.

• Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in increments of 1%. (When the 

RSPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)

• Continuous copying of up to 99 copies is possible.
• Sets of output can be offset from each other for easy separation (offset function).
• Sorting by sets is possible without the need for a sorter or other special device 

(Sort copy).

• Includes convenient features such as margin shift, 2 IN 1 copy, and automatic two-

sided copying.

• The machine is equipped with a memory buffer allowing the machine to scan an 

original once and make up to 99 copies of the scanned image. This improves 
workflow, reduces operating noise from the machine and reduces wear and tear on 
the scanning mechanism, which provides for a higher reliability.

The LCD panel displays messages that show function settings and the status of the 
machine.
