It will take about 35 seconds for the copier to warm up. However, you
can make desired settings and press the START key during warm-up.
Copying will start after warm-up.

If the copier has been programmed in the auditing mode, the START
key indicator will not light up and “

quantity display. Enter an assigned 3-digit account number. See page

●

If an optional printer expansion kit or facsimile expansion kit is
installed, the power is already on and all indicators except the POWER
SAVE indicator are off, the copier is in the auto power shut-off mode.
Press the START key in this case. See page 45, POWER SAVE
MODES.

●

The ORIGINAL SIZE indicator for the size detected will light up.

●

Image loss (max. 4 mm) can occur at the leading and trailing edges of
the copies. Also image loss (max. 4 mm in total) can occur along the
other edges of the copies.

●

Paper matching the size of the original will be automatically selected
when the auto paper select function is enabled. To copy onto paper of
a different size, press the TRAY SELECT key.

●

The auto paper select function can be disabled using user program
No. 8. If this function is disabled, use the TRAY SELECT key to select
the desired paper tray. See page 38, USER PROGRAMS.

The bypass tray cannot be automatically selected.

●

This copier has three exposure modes to choose from — AUTOMATIC,
MANUAL, and PHOTO.

●

Automatic exposure is the standard initial setting for this copier. In this
mode, the characteristics of the original are “read” by the exposure
system and adjustments are automatically made. This optimizes the
contrast of the copied images by reducing the effect of coloured or
shaded background areas. See page 27 to adjust the automatic exposure
level.
