Important Safeguards  
Always follow these important safeguards:  
1 Read all of these instructions before using the unit.  
2 Plug the power cord into a 3-conductor  
(grounded) outlet. Check the Specifications  
chapter to make sure the outlet meets the ampere  
rating of this unit.  
Never ground the power cord to a gas pipe or  
a water pipe.  
Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.  
Avoid using an extension cord if possible.  
If you must use an extension cord, use only a  
3-conductor cord rated for the ampere rating  
of your unit. Refer to the Specifications  
Chapter for this value. Power cords rated for less can overheat and become a fire hazard.  
3 Do not operate the unit if any part of it is damaged, or if any part has been dropped, until it  
is checked by a authorized Lanier Service Technician.  
4 The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area.

Damp or humid  
Exposed to direct sunlight  
Extremely dusty  
Poorly ventilated  
Close to machines generating ammonia such as diazo copy machines.  
Subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, for example, near an air  
conditioner or heater  
6 Place the unit on a firm, level surface.  
7 For proper ventilation and cooling, keep the unit at least 0.4 inches back from the wall and  
allow 0.4 inches of clearance on the left and right sides of the copier. Allow 29.6 inches of  
clearance in the front.

Copier Functions  
 
Entering User Codes  
Entering User Codes  
This feature prevents unauthorized use of the copier by limiting copier access to those persons  
who know an assigned User Code. The User Code feature monitors copier usage by department,  
project, or persons, and tracks the number of copies made with each User Code.  
The Key Operator can activate the User Code feature. When this feature is active, the Key  
Operator can program User Codes into the copier’s memory. Each code can be from one to  
eight digits in length. When this feature is turned ON, the user must enter an assigned User  
Code, and press the (# Enter) key before the copier can be used.  
The following instructions apply only when the User Code feature is turned ON.  
1 Enter an assigned User Code using the key  
pad.  
If you enter an invalid User Code, the  
Message Display continues to show eight  
dashes.  
If you do not know which User Code to  
use, ask your Key Operator.  
2 Make the copy requirement selections.

Document Feeder  
Document Feeder  
The Reversing Automatic Document Feeder (RADF), feeds originals to the Exposure Glass for  
copying and if Duplex Copying is selected, it turns the original over for copying the other side  
of the original. Then, it exits the original onto the Document Tray.  
You can place up to 50 originals in the Document Feeder for automatic feeding of  
originals to the Exposure Glass for copying.  
You may also select SADF which allows you to feed one original at a time into the  
Document Feeder without having to press the Start key each time.  
Precautions when using Document Feeders  
1. Avoid using:  
Badly wrinkled or folded originals.  
Clipped or stapled originals.  
Carbon paper.  
Torn originals.  
Taped originals.  
Damp originals.  
1. Folded or curled originals should be smoothed out before inserting into  
the Document Feeder.  
2. Feeding a stack of different width originals through the Document  
Feeder is not recommended.  
Feed them through one at a time.  
You can, however, feed a stack of different length originals through the  
Document Feeder.  
3. If the surface of any two originals are so rough that they cannot be  
moved when pinched between two fingertips, the friction between the  
originals may obstruct paper separation even when the paper weight is  
within specifications.  
2. Avoid covering the two sensors on the doc-  
ument feeder tray. These sensors detect the  
original size and could cause the orignal  
size to not be properly detected.

Combine Copying  
Combine Copying  
Combine copy, combines originals into one copy. You cannot use the Duplex or the Bypass  
Tray with this feature. There are two types of copies that you can make in this mode:  
1. 1 Sided 2 Pages to Combine 1 Side: Copies two 1-sided originals to one side of a  
sheet.  
2. 1 Sided 4 Pages to Combine 1 Side: Copies four 1-sided originals together to one  
side of a sheet.  
The number of originals copied (combined) can be 2 or 4.  
In this mode, the machine selects the reproduction ratio automatically. This reproduction  
ratio depends on the copy paper sizes and the number of originals.  
You can change the reproduction ratio from 50–200%.  
When you set the originals in the document feeder and the machine is installed the  
extension memory, you can change the reproduction ratio from 25–400%  
If the calculated ratio is under the minimum ratio, it is corrected within the range of the  
ratio automatically. However, with some ratios, parts of the image might not be copied  
or blank margins appear on copies.  
Even if the direction of originals is different from that of the copy paper, the machine  
will automatically rotate the image by 90 to make copies properly. (When the Auto  
Reduce/Enlarge function is selected.  
You can make copies even if the number of originals is less than the number  
required in the selected mode.  
When the number of originals placed is less than the number specified for  
combining, the last page(s) will be copied blank as shown in the illustration.

Glossary  
 
Chapter Overview  
Definitions for the most often used terms are listed here.  
Copier Terms  
% (percentage)  
The ratio of the original image size to the copied image size. If the copy  
image is larger than the original, the % number is larger. A copied image  
that is twice the size of the original is said to be 200%. If the copy image  
is smaller than the original, the % number is lower. A copied image that is  
half the size of the original is said to be 50%.  
10-key pad  
The portion of the Control Panel with numerical keys. These keys are  
used primarily to input the desired number of copies and are also used to  
input numerical data into the copier during programming.  
Book Originals  
Any bound original that cannot be fed through the Feeder. Because the  
pages cannot be separated, they must be copied manually from the  
Exposure Glass. The Book Original features can be used to make the  
book copying process more efficient.  
Bypass Feed Tray  
A Tray used to feed single sheets of special or transparent stock into the  
copier to be copied. Because sheets from this tray feed straight through  
the copier paper path, the Tray is especially useful for feeding heavy  
stock. See also: Stack Feed Bypass Tray.  
Casual Operator  
Charge Corona  
Cleaning Unit  
An operator that uses the copier to make copies but does not have Key  
Operator responsibilities such as adding Toner or calling for service.  
A device located near the Drum that activates the light sensitivity of the  
Drum and prepares it to be exposed and imaged.  
An assembly that cleans any residual image toner from the Drum in  
preparation for the next image.  
CLEAR/STOP Key  
The Key used to stop a copy job while it is still running. It may also be  
used to clear program functions from a previous job and return to the  
default settings.  
Control Panel  
Copies  
The surface at the front of the copier containing Keys used to control the  
operation of the copier. It usually also contains the display that shows the  
status of the copier or the job in progress.  
The imaged paper output from a copier. It might be a direct reproduction  
of the input document or it can contain any number of changes as  
programmed into the copier such as Enlargement/Reduction, Trim/Mask,  
etc.  
Copies in Progress  
Copies Selected  
This display or part of a display shows how many copies of the total have  
been made.  
This display is the same as Copy Quantity, in that it shows the number of  
copies requested.  
G-1  
   
Copy Paper  
See: paper  
Copy Quantity  
This display or part of a Touch Screen shows the requested number of  
copies.  
Copy Size Keys  
Darker Copies  
Keys used to input the desired size of the copy.  
This term refers to the amount of toner placed on the copy through the  
imaging process. The amount of toner is controlled by the “darkness” of  
the original and the amount of light used during the exposure process;  
more light means less toner or image density.  
Developer Material  
Developer Unit  
This is a supply used in the copier. It usually consists of two parts; a  
carrier material and the toner. The developer material is only used by a  
technician when installing a new unit or when cleaning a Developer Unit.  
An assembly located near the drum inside the copier that delivers the  
toner to the drum. It allow the correct amount of toner to be placed on the  
drum for each image.  
Document Feed Tray  
Document Guide  
The Tray where an original document is placed to feed into an ADF for  
automatic feeding and copying.  
These Guides are located in the Document Feed Tray. When correctly  
positioned against the sides of an original document, they help to position  
the pages of the document.  
Document Receiving  
Tray  
A Tray used to accumulate the pages of an original document that have  
completed the copying process.  
Document Scale  
Two scales located to the front and left of the Exposure Glass intended to  
help locate original documents placed on the Glass for manual copying  
and to identify a part of an original during the Editing process.  
Documents  
The set of pages either placed on the Exposure Glass or in the ADF to be  
copied.  
Drum Assembly  
The unit located inside the copier that receives the image during the  
exposure and imaging process and transfers this image to the copy paper.  
It is light sensitive and should be protected from bright lights.  
Duplexed Copies  
Energy Saver Key  
Copies that have been imaged on both sides of the sheet.  
A Key used to place the copier into, or bring it out of an Energy Saver  
Mode. In the Energy Saver Mode, the amount of energy consumed by the  
copier is reduced.  
Energy Star  
A voluntary program introduced by the United States Environmental  
Protection Agency (EPA) intended to encourage the use of energy-  
G-2  
efficient technologies in the workplace. Requirements to qualify for  
certification vary based on the speed of a Copier. For specifics on your  
Copier, check the Specifications section of this Guide.  
Exit Tray  
A tray attached to the output end of the copier to collect copies. This tray  
is usually removed when a Sorter or Finisher is installed. In this case, the  
top tray of the Sorter or Finisher serves as the Exit Tray.  
Exposure Glass  
The glass surface located under the Document Cover or Document  
Feeder. The original is placed here to make a copy. If an RADF is present,  
it transports the original to this location. Once here, the original is  
exposed by the Exposure Lamp located directly below the glass.  
Exposure Lamp  
The light source located directly below the Exposure Glass. It is the light  
from this lamp that exposes the original, reflects off the original, travels  
through the optics and exposes the Drum.  
Exposure Pad  
A Pad located on the bottom side of a Document Cover used to hold an  
original in place on the Exposure Glass during the exposure process.  
Factory Default  
A setting in the copier that is set at the factory. You can change some of  
these settings. Others can be changed by a Service Technician. See also  
Initial Setting.  
Front Cover  
The Cover located at the front of the copier designed to allow access to  
the interior of the copier. This allows the operator to add supplies, remove  
paper misfeeds, or perform other maintenance as prescribed by the  
Operator Guide.  
Fused Toner  
The image, usually black, that adheres to the surface of the copy paper.  
This Toner is “Fused” to the surface of the paper using pressure and heat.  
Fuser Assembly  
Fuser Cleaning Pad  
The unit located inside the exit area of the copier that provides heat and  
pressure to attach the toner to the paper surface.  
In certain copiers, it is necessary to clean toner residue and paper dust  
from the Fuser Rollers. This provides extended life of the Rollers and  
cleaner copies. At certain intervals, this pad must be replaced.  
Graphic Display  
Gray Scale  
A Display that shows icons related to service or supply related error  
condition. In some copiers, these icons may be incorporated into a graphic  
representation of the copier to show the approximate position of an error.  
A term referring to the shades of gray between the black and the white  
areas on an original or copy. Normal copies reduce the shades of gray to  
produce very dense blacks and clean whites. During the photo copy  
modes, the copier is set to reproduce the shades of gray more faithfully,  
but usually at the expense of the black density.  
Initial Settings  
Those settings displayed by a copier when it comes to the READY  
G-3  
condition. These settings may be either the Factory Default settings, or  
Factory Default settings that have been modified permanently by either  
you or your Service Technician to better fit your application.  
Interrupt Key  
Key Operator  
Lighter Copies  
The Key used to interrupt a long copy job in process in order to run a  
single copy. Interrupt copies are limited to one, and the interrupt original  
must be copied from the Exposure Glass.  
The main operator responsible for the copier. This individual performs all  
operator prescribed maintenance and is the main contact in the event of a  
service call.  
This term refers to the amount of toner placed on the copy through the  
imaging process. The amount of toner is controlled by the “darkness” of  
the original and the amount of light used during the exposure process;  
more light means less toner or image.  
Message Display  
On/Stand by Switch  
Original Cover  
This display or part of a Touch Screen shows messages related to the  
status of the copier, Help messages and program information.  
A switch located on the exterior of the copier used to control the power to  
the copier.  
On copiers not equipped with a Document Feeder, a Cover protects the  
Exposure Glass and prevents stray light from entering the copier during  
the copy process. Unless copying a 3-dimensional object, the cover  
should be down.  
Original Direction  
Indicator  
This icon instructs the operator which direction to place the document in  
the Document Feeder or on the Exposure Glass. This is particularly  
helpful when different paper sizes are available and when certain features  
are used such as; when reducing a legal sheet to letter-size paper, the icon  
would instruct you to feed the original lengthwise.  
Paper Tray  
A paper carrier designed as part of the base of the copier. It is used to  
store and feed a stack of paper of one size. Some are designed to be  
adjusted but can only accommodate one size at a time.  
paper weight  
Throughout the Operator Guide there are references to 20 lb. or 24 lb.  
paper. This refers to a standard measuring technique. A certain number of  
sheets cut to a particular size weighs 20 or 24 pounds. The weight  
specification usually correlates with the thickness of the paper. It also  
generally implies stiffness with the lighter papers being more limber and  
the heavier papers being stiffer. Copiers are designed to feed certain  
weight papers through the Drawers or Cassettes. Heavier stock, such as  
cover stock, can be fed through the Bypass Feed Tray.  
Power Cord  
The cord used to connect the copier to the power receptacle. The plug  
design is specified depending on the amount of power the copier requires.  
Make sure the receptacle is the correct one for your copier.  
G-4  
READY Indicator  
This is an indicator that shows when the copier has warmed up and is  
ready to make copies. It appears in several forms; a light, an icon, and the  
message itself.  
Release Lever  
The lever located inside the Front Cover used to release the Upper Unit  
for access to the paper path.  
Separation Corona  
One of the Coronas inside the copier. It is usually located near the Drum  
and separates the paper from the Drum. Because it attracts the toner, and  
since it is located below the paper, it has a tendency to get dirty. This can  
require the Key Operator to either clean the coronas or call for service.  
Sheet Feed Bypass  
A tray that opens from the side of the machine, usually just above the  
Primary Paper Tray or LCC. It is designed to feed a single sheet at a time.  
This tray can be used to feed paper or transparency stock that would  
normally not be placed in the Feed Drawers. Since it bypasses the normal  
paper feeding mechanism and feeds straight through the paper path,  
heavier stocks (like cover stock) feed better.  
Sorter  
An accessory attached to the output of a copier designed to perform a  
sorting function. The sort function allows you to make multiple copy sets  
of an original in such a way that the pagination matches the original  
document.  
Stack Feed Bypass  
Feed Tray  
A tray that opens from the side of the machine, usually just above the  
LCC or Primary Paper Tray, and is designed to feed a stack of paper. This  
tray can be used to feed paper or transparency stock that would normally  
not be placed in the Feed Drawers. Since it bypasses the normal paper  
feeding mechanism and feeds straight through the paper path, heavier  
stocks (like cover stock) feed better.  
Stack Key  
This key is used to program the Stack functions. This is available only if a  
Sorter or Finisher is present. In the stack mode, multiples of a single page  
of a document are placed in separate Sorter Trays or are offset in the  
Finisher Tray.  
Start Key  
Toner  
This Key is used to start the copying process once all selections have been  
made. On a Lanier copier, it is always green in color.  
The black powder that is used to form the image on copy paper. In a color  
copier, it would be colored. PLEASE NOTE: Toners are designed to  
operate specifically in a copier and differ greatly on the copier  
requirements. Toner from other copiers should never be mixed. At best,  
the image would be too light or too dark. At worst, it can damage your  
copier and require a service call to have the toner cleaned out and  
replaced with the correct toner.  
Toner Container  
A container designed to simplify the reloading of toner in your copier.  
G-5  
Make sure the toner you add is correct for your copier before loading. See  
the NOTE above.  
Transparencies  
Transport Belt  
A clear plastic stock used to make an overhead transparency. Because  
they are clear, they don’t feed from paper Drawers or Cassettes. However,  
many Bypass Feed Trays are designed to handle transparency stock. Place  
your transparency stock in the Bypass Feed Tray and use a normal copy  
procedure.  
The rubber surface on the under side of an ADF. It grips an original and  
moves it across the Exposure Glass and returns it to the Document Exit  
Area of the Document Feeder. To keep it operating correctly and to  
prevent the buildup of dirt which can cause dirty copies, it must be  
cleaned periodically.  
User Codes  
Zoom Keys  
An option, usually built into a copier that, when activated by a  
Technician, requires the operator to enter a User Code to make copies.  
The copier can contain many accounts thereby allowing the Key Operator  
to track copies made by individuals or departments.  
The Zoom Keys are actually several keys that control the Enlargement or  
Reduction of the image on the copy. In most cases, there is a 100% (actual  
size) key, a key representing the highest Enlargement ratio, and a key  
representing the lowest Reduction ratio. Pressing these last two keys steps  
the copier optics in 1% increments. Pressing the 100% key returns the  
copier to the actual size mode.
