Starting copying Press the Start key. Copying is possible when the indicator is lit green. 6 (English text panel) (Symbol panel) 9 6. Setting the number of copies Pressing the Number of Copies/Zoom (+) key increases the number of copies and pressing the Number of Copies/Zoom (-) key decreases the number of copies. If you hold down the Number of Copies/Zoom (+) key for approximately 2 seconds when the number of copies is "1", the number jumps to "99"; if you hold down the Number of Copies/ Zoom (-) key for approximately 2 seconds when the number of copies is "99", the number jumps down to "1". Display the desired number of copies on the copy quantity display. The number of copies can be set to up to 99. * It is possible to lower the limit on the number of copies that can be set at a time (see "Copy limit" on page 6-3). 9. At the end of copying Copied sheets are ejected onto the copy storage section. * Up to 100 sheets of standard paper (80 g/m2) can be stored. Note that the number of sheets that can be stored varies depending on the condition of the paper used. 7 7. Setting originals Set the original into the DF (Document Feeder) or on the platen (see "2. How to set originals" on page 3-5). * With the 15 ppm copier, copying can be started simply by placing an original in the DF. Proceed to step 9. CAUTION If the copier will not be used for a short period of time (overnight, etc.), turn the main switch OFF (O). If it will not be used for an extended period of time (vacations, etc.), remove the power plug from the outlet for safety purposes during the time the copier is not in use. 4-2 CHAPTER 4 BASIC OPERATIONS 2.

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.) (English text panel) (Symbol panel) 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. q 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. 4-4 CHAPTER 5 FUNCTIONS 1. Layout copying Two or four originals can be combined into a single copy.
