Convenient uses of image check You can view images scanned for copying, fax/image send, and Scan to HDD of document filing. This allows you to check the effect of special modes and correct problems before copying or transmission takes place. "Printing only faxes that are needed" You can check a received fax before printing it.
PLACING ORIGINALS The automatic document feeder can be used to automatically scan many originals at once. This saves you the trouble of manually feeding each original. For originals that cannot be scanned using the automatic document feeder, such as a book or a document with notes attached, use the document glass. Using the automatic document feeder When using the automatic document feeder, place the originals in the document feeder tray. Make sure an original has not been placed on the document glass.
CHANGING PAPER IN A TRAY Names of the trays The names of the trays are shown below. For the number of sheets of paper that can be loaded in each tray, see the following manuals: • Operation Guide, "Paper Tray Settings" in "7.
Loading paper in a tray To change the paper in a tray, load the desired paper in the tray and then change the tray settings in the machine to specify the loaded paper. The procedure for changing the tray paper size is explained below. As an example, the paper in tray 1 is changed from B4 (8-1/2" x 14") size plain paper to A4 (8-1/2" x 11") size recycled paper. Gently pull out the paper tray. If paper remains in the tray, remove it. Move the two guides on the tray.
Changing the tray settings When you change the paper in a tray, the tray settings in the system settings must also be changed.

(1) Touch the [Paper Tray Settings] key.
Loading paper in other trays Bypass tray The side to be copied on must be face down! When loading A3W, A3 or B4 size paper, pull out the tray extension. The maximum number of sheets that can be loaded in the bypass tray is approximately 100 for plain paper and approximately 20 for envelopes. Example: Loading an envelope Place paper that is A5 (7-1/4" x 10-1/2") or smaller in the horizontal orientation. Only the address side of envelopes can be printed on. Place envelopes with the address side face down.
Large capacity tray The paper size of tray 5 can only be changed by a service technician. Gently pull out the paper tray. Insert the paper with the print side face down. Fan the paper well before inserting it. Otherwise, multiple sheets may feed at once and cause a misfeed. Insert the paper and then gently push the tray into the machine. Do not load as shown below. 22 Indicator line The indicator line indicates the maximum height of the paper that can be loaded in the tray.

SPECIAL MODES The special modes can be used for a variety of special-purpose copy jobs. This section introduces the types of copies that can be made with the special modes. (The procedures for using each special mode are not explained.) Each special mode has its own settings and steps, however, the basic procedure is the same for all modes. The basic procedure for selecting a special mode is explained on the next page using "Margin Shift" as an example.
SELECTING A SPECIAL MODE The procedure for selecting settings for "Adding margins (Margin Shift)" is explained below as an example. Although the specific settings for each special mode vary, the general procedure is the same. The side to be scanned must be face up! 1 Place the originals. When using the document glass, place the original with the side to be scanned face down. Special Modes (1) 2 2-Sided Copy (1) Touch the [Special Modes] key. Plain A4 Exposure 1. 2. 3. 4.
CONVENIENT COPY FUNCTIONS Adding margins (Margin Shift) Use this function to shift the image on the copy to create binding margins. This function is convenient when you will be binding the copies with a string or placing them in a binder. Erasing peripheral shadows (Erase) Use this function to erase peripheral shadows that occur when making copies of books and other thick originals.
Copying a large number of originals at once (Job Build) A stack of originals higher than the indicator line on the automatic document feeder cannot be fed through the feeder. The job build function lets you divide the stack of originals into sets, feed each set, and copy the sets as a single job. Using two machines to make a large number of copies (Tandem Copy) You can divide a copy job between two machines connected to the same network. This saves considerable time when running a large copy job.
Copying multiple pages onto one sheet of paper (Multi Shot) Use this function to copy two or four original pages onto one sheet of paper. 12 34 1 2 3 4 Copying a pamphlet (Book Copy) Use this function to copy a book, pamphlet, or other bound original. The copies will be arranged in the same pamphlet-style layout. When a saddle stitch finisher is installed, the output is automatically folded at the centre and stapled.
Printing the date or a stamp on copies (Stamp) Date print Stamp Page number CONFIDENTIAL Text Planning Meeting 1 2 3 Water mark FI DE NT IA L 04/04/2010 CO N Use this function to print the date, a stamp, the page number, or text on copies. In addition, specific text can be added to a copy as a watermark. Repeating photos on a copy (Photo Repeat) Use this function to print up to 24 copies of one photo on one sheet of paper.
Copying an A3 size original without cutting off the edges (A3 Full Bleed) Use this feature to make a full-size copy of an A3 original on A3W paper so that the edges are not cut off. The original must be placed on the document glass. Copying in the centre of the paper (Centring) Use this function to position the copy image at the centre of the paper. This is convenient when the image is reduced or copied onto paper that is larger than the original.
Checking the number of scanned original sheets before copying (Original Count) The number of scanned original sheets can be counted and displayed before copying is executed. By allowing you to check the number of original sheets that were scanned, this helps reduce the occurrence of copy mistakes.
Printing This section explains the basic procedure for printing using the printer driver of the machine. The settings that can be selected in the printer driver are also introduced. The explanations of screens and procedures are primarily for Windows Vista® in Windows® environments, and Mac OS X v10.4 in Macintosh environments. The window varies depending on the operating system version, the printer driver version, and the application. X PRINTING. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
