4 Gently push the paper tray back into the unit.
• 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.
• If output paper curls, it may help to turn the paper over when loading it in the tray.

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 A6 to A4 and in the weight range of 56 g /m
2
to 128 g /m
2
can be used in this tray. (For paper weighing from 105 g /m
2
to 128 g /m
2
, A4 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.

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 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 "PRINTER
• It is recommended that you perform a test print before performing the actual copy/ print job.

COPIER FUNCTIONS
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.10) or
multi-bypass tray (p.12), and check the paper size (p.9).
If paper is not loaded, see page 10.
2 Place the original.
If you are using the document glass, see "Using the document glass" (p.26).
If you are using the SPF, see "Using the SPF (Peripheral device)" (p.27).
When copying onto paper larger than A4 size, pull out the paper output tray extension.
4
3 Select the copy settings.
• To set the number of copies, see page 28.
• To adjust the resolution and contrast settings, see page 28.
• To enlarge or reduce the copy, see page 30.
• To change the tray used, see page 30.
• To sort multiple original pages into sets, see page 31.
• To copy the front and rear sides of ID card onto a page, see page 34.
4 Start copying.
Press the start ( ) key.
25
• 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 to change the unit to the online state, or wait until the set
auto clear time (p.63) 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 A4 original.
• Image loss 4 mm can occur at the leading and trailing edges of the copies. Also image loss 4.5 mm in total can occur along the other edges of the copies.
