MAIN FEATURES
High-speed laser copying
• First-copy time*1 at 300 dpi*2 is only 7.2 seconds .
• Copying speed is 16 copies per minute. This is ideal for business use and provides a big boost to workplace
productivity.
1
*
First-Copy time may vary depending on the power-supply voltage, ambient temperature, and other operating conditions.
"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.
2
*
High-quality digital 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 colour photos.
Enhanced copying features
• Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in 1% increments.
(When the SPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)
• Continuous copying of up to 999 copies is possible. (Can be changed to a maximum of 99 copies in the user
programs.)
• The user programs allow customised machine settings and management. Access to the machine can be
controlled by enabling audit mode.
Scan once/Print many
• The machine is equipped with a memory buffer allowing the machine to scan an original once and make up to 999
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.
Laser printer function
• The accompanying printer driver can be installed to enable use of the machine as a printer. (See the
accompanying Software Setup Guide.)
Colour scanner function
• The accompanying scanner driver can be installed and the machine connected to a computer using a USB cable
to enable use as a scanner. (See the accompanying Software Setup Guide.)
Environment and people friendly design
• Preheat and auto power shut-off modes are provided to reduce power consumption when the machine is not in
use.
• A universal design has been implemented in the product whereby the height of the operation panel and shape of
the keys are designed to be usable by as many people as possible.

The machine includes a USB 1.1 port and a parallel port as standard equipment.
A computer can be connected to these ports to use the machine as a printer or a scanner.
To use the machine as a printer or scanner, the printer driver or scanner driver must first be installed as explained in
the "Software Setup Guide".
• If a problem occurs in printer or scanner mode, see "TROUBLESHOOTING" (p.45).
Note
• The scanning feature is only available with Windows 98/Me/2000/XP using a USB connection. For users
running Windows 95/NT 4.0 or using a parallel connection, only printing is available.
• When interrupt copying is being performed, printing is not possible.
USING THE PRINTER MODE
The procedure for loading paper is the same as for loading copy paper. See "LOADING PAPER". (p.16)
• Print jobs received while the machine is copying or being used in scanner mode will be stored in memory. When
Note
the copy job is finished or scanner mode is exited, the print jobs will begin printing.
• Printing is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed
occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time.
• If an original misfeed occurs in the SPF, printing will not be possible until the misfed original is removed and the
SPF is restored to a usable state.
BASIC PROCEDURE FOR PRINTING
The basic procedure for printing is explained below. To use convenient printer functions, see the "Online Manual" or
the printer driver help file.
Make sure that paper is loaded in the

You are scanning a large area (for example an entire A3)
at high resolution.
→ If you attempt to scan a large area at high resolution and there is
insufficient memory in the machine to hold the scanned data,
scanning will take place at a lower resolution and the scanner
driver will enhance the data to make up for the lower resolution.
However, the quality of the enhanced image will not be as high as

the toner level indicator or drum cartridge life, and cleaning the machine.
CHECKING THE TOTAL OUTPUT
COUNT
CHECKING THE TOTAL OUTPUT COUNT
From the "0" display, you can check the total output count, total copy count, and total scan count as explained
below.
The total output count is all pages (for both printing and copying) printed by the machine and the total output count
can be counted up to 999,999.
[Total output count]
[Total copy count]
Hold down the [0] key.
Hold down the [ ] key.
The total output count
appears sequentially in
two parts while you hold
down the [0] key.
The count display and
counting method are the
same as for the total
output count.
Example: Total number of pages output is 12,345.
The total number of pages printed in printer
mode can be calculated by subtracting the
total copy count from the total output count.
Note
[Total scan count]
Hold down the [ ] key.
• Each A3 size page is counted as two
pages.
• During a copy run, pressing the [0] key
shows the number of completed copy
pages, not the total output count.
