CHAPTER 3 PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE

1. How to load paper

Paper can be loaded into the drawer and the multi-bypass.

(1) Precautions for loading paper

After unpacking the paper, ruffle it several times and then load into the tray.

2 Press the drawer bottom plate down and lock it there.

3 Holding the width adjustment lever, move it to align the width guide with the required paper width.

Paper sizes are marked inside the drawer.

(2) Loading paper into the drawer

Up to 250 sheets of standard paper (64 to 80 g/m 2 /standard paper as specified by our company) or colored paper can be loaded into the drawer.

Set the drawer paper size according to the size of paper to be loaded

(see “Upper drawer paper size” and “Lower drawer paper size

(optional)” on pages 6-2, 6-3 and 6-7). It is set to 8 1/2" x 11" (letter)/

A4 at the factory.

(Inch specifications)

* The drawer can hold paper of 8 1/2" x 14" (legal), 8 1/2" x 11" and 5

1/2" x 8 1/2" (vertical) sizes.

(Metric specifications)

* The drawer can hold paper of A4, A5 (vertical) and folio sizes.

1 Pull the drawer out toward you as far as it will go.

* If the optional drawer is installed, do not pull more than one drawer out at a time.

4 While squeezing the presses on the sides, remove the length guide and then insert it into the holes of the required paper length.

Paper sizes are marked inside the drawer.

3-1

* If the paper reaches the right-hand wall of the drawer, the length guide is not used. Store it in the space shown in the illustration.


6 Gently push the drawer back in.

* Check that the paper is kept under the claw of the drawer. If not, reload the paper.

NOTE

Leaving paper out of its package under high temperature and high humidity conditions may lead to problems caused by ambient moisture. After loading paper into drawers, store the remaining paper sealed in the paper storage bag. Also, before leaving the copier in disuse for a prolonged period of time, remove the paper from the drawer(s) and seal it in the paper storage bag to protect it from moisture.

5 Set the paper flush against the left-hand wall of the drawer.

IMPORTANT

* Load paper so that it is kept under the claw of the drawer.

* When loading paper into the drawer, make sure that the copy side is facing upward (the copy side is the side facing upward when the package is opened.)

* Check that the length and width guides securely contact the paper. If there is a gap, adjust the position of the length or width guide to close it.

* Load paper all at once and do not add paper until all sheets are used up. If you add paper to a drawer that still contains paper, a paper misfeed may occur.

* Do not use paper with curls, creases, folds, or with rough or uneven edges caused by improper cutting.

Depending on the type, cut condition, or storage condition of the paper, copied paper may become extremely curled or a paper misfeed may occur. Should such problems occur, remove the paper from the drawer and turn the paper upside down.

(3) Loading paper into the multi-bypass

Standard paper (60 - 160 g/m 2 /standard paper as specified by our company), colored paper and special paper can be loaded into the multi-bypass.

The multi-bypass can hold up to 50 sheets of standard paper of 64 to

80 g/m 2 .


The multi-bypass can hold paper of any size from 8 1/2" x 14" (legal) to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (vertical).

3. Energy saver (auto preheat) function

This function automatically puts the copier in the sleep mode if no copying operation is performed for a certain period of time (5 to 45 minutes). In sleep mode, “---” is displayed on the copy quantity/ magnification display and all other indicators are turned off.

* To resume copying after the energy saver (auto preheat) function has been activated, press any of the operation section keys. The length of time that the copier uses to recover from the energy saver

(auto preheat) function can be selected between within 10 seconds

(priority to recovery) and within 30 seconds (priority to power save).

(See “Auto preheat time” on page 6-4 and “Preheat recovery time” on page 6-5.)


4. Auto shut-off function

This function automatically turns the main switch OFF (O) if no copying operation is preformed for a certain period of time (15 to 120 minutes). To make copies again, set the main switch to the ON (|) position.

* If the optional printer board is installed, copying will be enabled when any of the operation keys is pressed or data is received from the computer.

● Auto shut-off function

The auto shut-off function is a power-saving feature which automatically turns OFF (O) the main switch when a certain time elapses without copying being performed. Copiers are generally in the standby mode more than operation mode, and power consumption in the standby mode occupies a large part of overall consumption.

Having the copier turn OFF (O) automatically reduces unnecessary power consumption in the standby mode or at night when the copier is left on. The result is a lower electricity bill.

* To change the time until the auto shut-off function starts, see “Auto shut-off time” on page 6-4. To cancel the auto shut-off function, see

“Auto shut-off” on page 6-4.
