• Be sure that paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent

edges.

• Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.

• When loading paper, ensure there is no space between the paper and

the guide, and check if the guide is not set too narrow causing the

paper to bend. Loading paper in these ways will result in document

skew or a paper jam.

• When not using the unit for an extended period, remove all paper from

the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the unit for

an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air,

resulting in paper jams.

• When adding new paper to the paper tray, remove the old paper

already contained in the tray. Placing new paper on top of the paper

already contained in the tray may result in feeding two sheets at one

time.

BYPASS FEED (including special paper)

The multi-bypass tray can be used to feed standard paper, transparency film, labels,

envelopes, and other special purpose paper. Paper measuring from 3-1/2" x 5-1/2"

to 8-1/2" x 14" and in the weight range of 14 lbs. to 34.5 lbs. (52g/m to 128g/m ) can

be used in this tray. (For paper weighing from 28 lbs. to 34.5 lbs. (105g/m to

128g/m ), 8-1/2" x 11" is the maximum size.)

• The multi-bypass tray can hold maximum of 50 sheets of paper.

(Capacity will vary depending on the type of paper loaded.)

• The original image must be smaller than the paper or media for

copying. If the original image is bigger than the paper or media, this

may cause smudges on the edges of the copies.

The multi-bypass tray

Open the multi-bypass tray and extend the tray.

To close the multi-

bypass tray,

perform step 1

and then step 2 in

the illustration and

push the round

projections at the

right of the tray

until they click.

Set the paper guides to the paper width. Insert the paper (print

face down) all the way into the multi-bypass tray.

• Paper must be fed narrow side into the feed slot.

•

Special papers such as transparency film, labels, and envelopes

must be fed one sheet at a time through the multi-bypass tray.

• When copying onto transparency film, remove each copy

promptly. Do not let copies stack up.

Press the tray select (

) key to select the multi-bypass tray.

Note for loading envelopes

• Envelopes must be fed narrow side into the feed slot at a time.

• Do not use non-standard envelopes, and envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic snappers,

string closures, windows, linings, self-adhesive, patches or synthetic materials. Do not use

envelopes that are filled with air or envelopes that have labels or stamps attached.

• Envelopes of which the surface is not flat because of embossing may cause the

copies/prints to become smudged.

• Under high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some envelopes

may become sticky and be sealed closed when copied/printed.

• Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed

envelopes may be poorly printed or may cause misfeeds.

• Be sure to select either Com10, DL, C5 or Monarch on the paper size setting of the

printer driver. (For detailed information on printer driver, refer to the online manual.)

• It is recommended that you perform a test print before performing the actual copied/

MAKING COPIES

This chapter explains basic and other copying functions.

The unit is equipped with a one-page memory buffer. This memory allows the unit to

scan an original once only and make up to 99 copies. This feature improves

workflow, reduces operation noise from the copier, and provides higher reliability by

reducing wear and tear on the scanning mechanism.

COPY FLOW

1 Make sure that paper has been loaded in the paper tray (p.15)

or multi-bypass tray (p.17), and check the paper size (p.14).

If paper is not loaded, see page 15.

2 Place the original.

If you are using the document glass, see "Using the document glass" (p.47).

If you are using the SPF, see "Using the SPF" (p.48).

When copying onto paper larger than 8-1/2" x 11" size, pull out the paper

output tray extension.

3 Select the copy settings.

If you wish to copy using the initial settings (p.13), proceed to the next step.

To set the number of copies, see page 49.

To adjust the resolution and contrast settings, see page 49.

To enlarge or reduce the copy, see page 51.

To change the tray used, see page 51.

AL-1641CS model

Press the start (

) key.

• If you start a print job while a copy job is in progress, the print job will

begin when the copy job is completed.

• The scanning function cannot be used while a copy job is in progress.

About interrupt copying

If you press the start ( ) key to begin a copy job while a print job using the paper

tray or multi-bypass tray is in progress, the copy job will begin automatically after the

print data in the unit's memory is printed (interrupt copying). When this is done, the

print data remaining in the computer is not sent to the unit. When the copy job ends,

press the clear (

) key twice, or press the ON LINE key once to change the unit to

the online state (p.31), or wait until the set auto clear time (p.55) elapses. The

remaining print data will be sent to the unit and printing will resume.

ORIGINAL PLACEMENT

Using the document glass

• The document glass can read up to 8-1/2" x 14" original.

• Image loss 5/32" (4mm) can occur at the leading and trailing edges of

the copies. Also image loss 11/64" (4.5mm) in total can occur along

the other edges of the copies.

• When copying a book or an original which has been folded or a

crumpled original, press down the SPF lightly. If the SPF is not

securely closed, the copies may be striped or blurred.

Open the SPF, and place the original.

Place an original face down on the document glass. Align it

with the original scale and the centering ( ) mark. Gently close

the SPF.

Original scale

mark

Using the SPF

The SPF is designed to hold up to 30 originals measuring from 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to

8-1/2" x 14" and weighting from 14 lbs. to 23.9 lbs. (52g/m to 90g/m ).

• Before feeding originals in the document feeder tray, be sure to

remove any staples or paper clips from them.

• Before placing curled or wavy originals into the document feeder tray,

be sure to flatten them. If not, original misfeeds may result.

• The SPF (

) indicator on the operation panel will light up. If this

indicator does not light up, the originals are not properly set or the

SPF is not properly closed.

• Badly damaged originals may misfeed in the SPF. It is recommended

that such originals be copied from the document glass.

• Special originals such as transparency film should not be fed through

the SPF, but should be placed directly on the document glass.

• Image loss (max. 5/32" (4mm)) can occur at the leading and trailing

edges of the copies. Also image loss (max. 11/64" (4.5mm) in total)

can occur along the other edges of the copies. It can be 15/64" (6mm)

(max.) at the trailing edge of the second copy of two-sided copying.

• To stop continuous copying using the SPF, press the clear (

) key.

• Copying using one-sided to one-sided mode(AL-1641CS):

Ensure that no indicator is lit among the original to copy indicators.

Carcinogenicity :In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible

human carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is

inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an

opinion of carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of

lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at

levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal

models other than rats did not show any association between carbon black and

lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner

preparation containing carbon black demonstrated no association between toner

exposure and tumor development in rats.

Chronic Effect

:In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to

moderate degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high

concentration (16mg/m³) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of

fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle (4mg/m³) exposure

group, but no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m³)

exposure group, the most relevant level to potential human exposures.

Carcinogenicity :In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen

(possible human carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for

which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence

on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The classification is based

upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation

exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the

lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show any

association between carbon black and lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year

cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation containing carbon black

demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor

development in rats.

Chronic Effect

:In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to

moderate degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high

concentration (16mg/m³) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of

fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle (4mg/m³) exposure

group, but no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m³)

exposure group, the most relevant level to potential human exposures.
