MAKING COPIES NORMAL COPYING Power on 1 Turn the power switch on. ● 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 "- - -" will appear in the copy quantity display. Enter an assigned 3-digit account number. See page 13. ● If 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 43, POWER SAVE MODES. 2 Place the original face down on the original table. Align it with the original size scale. ● 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. 3 Close the platen cover. Normal copying 4 Ensure that the copy paper size in the paper tray is the same size as the original. ● If a tray of the required size is not installed, use the bypass tray and press the TRAY SELECT key to select the bypass tray. ● If an optional paper feed unit is installed: Use the ORIGINAL SIZE ENTER key to select the original size. Copy paper of the same size as the original will be automatically selected. If desired, another paper tray can be selected by pressing the TRAY SELECT key. 5 Adjust the copy density. ● 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 26 to adjust the automatic exposure level. 14
