When inserting the original in the copier, slide it in carefully, but quickly. Otherwise, the original might skew as it goes through the machine. 3 COPYING Copying With The Roll Feeder Copying With The Roll Feeder To make a copy using the roll feeder option, you do not need to set paper on the copy table; the paper will be fed to the copier from the roll feeder.

You don't need to press the RF Select key again. 6 Making Copies Darker Or Lighter COPYING Making Copies Darker Or Lighter To make darker or lighter copies, you should change the copier's density setting. There are 14 density levels: the standard density level, three darker levels, and 10 lighter levels. Set the density with the Lighter and Darker keys ( & ) under the density indicator. The indicator shows seven levels at a time. When you start from the standard image density, the middle notch corresponds to the standard image density, the three right notches correspond to the darker densities, the three left notches to lighter densities. The brighter notch shows which level is now set. If you go lower than the leftmost notch, the Lighter Copy indicator lights up. The notches on the indicator will then correspond to the seven lightest levels. To set the image density, follow the keystrokes below before setting your original. C C/ ¶ Press the Lighter key to make the image lighter. · Press the Darker key to make the image darker. 7 COPYING Leaving A Blank Margin At The Leading Edge Leaving A Blank Margin At The Leading Edge You can create a blank margin at the top of the copy (fig. a, the leading edge), or have the leading edge of the image bleed off the copy (fig. b). The copier does this by shifting the entire image backward or forward according to the margin you set. With the roll feeder, the length of the margin does not affect the length of the paper. If you want to create a blank margin at the trailing edge, simply set the paper length a little longer than the total length of the original and lead margin. Set the margin before inserting the original. d b a) Margin M d b b) Bleed image Example: Leaving a blank margin at the top of your copy Suppose you are copying a vertical A2 size diagram (about 17" x 22") to a sheet of the same size. The diagram has a 5 cm (2") margin all around, but you want a 10 cm (4") margin at the top to give you space to write notes. Make your copy following the instructions on page 1. When you reach step 3 on page 1, follow the key strokes on the next page. 8 Leaving A Blank Margin At The Leading Edge COPYING ¶ Press the Function Select key until the ar- · The margin is displayed here, row points at Lead Margin. in millimeters. C C/ ¸ Press the + key until the display shows 5.0. When you have the margin you want, continue as for any other copy. You will obtain a copy with a 10 cm (4") blank margin at the top (5 cm set by you plus 5 cm on the original) and no margin at the bottom. If the original had no blank margin surrounding it, you would have obtained a copy with a 5 cm blank margin at the leading edge, and with the bottom 5 cm of the original cut off the copy. Example: Leaving a blank margin at the bottom of your copy Suppose in the first example you had instead wanted the margin at the bottom of your copy instead of the top. In that case, in step above, you would have had to press the - key until -5.0 appeared in the display. The image would have been shifted forward on the copy and a 10 cm margin would have been left at the bottom of the copy (5 cm set by you plus 5 cm on the original) and no margin at the top. ¸ 9 COPYING Copying Only A Selected Portion Of The Original Copying Only A Selected Portion Of The Original You can copy a portion of the original instead of the entire original. Press and hold the Function Select key for at least three seconds to tell the copier to copy only a portion of the original. A "P" (for Partial) will start blinking in the lead margin display. Then, proceed as for a usual copy, with a sheet of paper or with the roll feeder. As the original is fed into the copier, press the Function Select key when the beginning of the part you want to copy (a) goes in; the "P" will stop blinking and stay on. Press the Function Select key again when the end of that part (b) goes in; the "P" will start blinking again. Finally, press and hold the Function Select key for another 3 seconds to turn the function off. d Original a b d Copy Notes F To copy a portion of the original that includes its first 15 cm (6"), you must press the Function Select key for (a) before setting the original. the Function Select key at (b). F To copy the bottom portion of the original, simply skip pressing F You can't add a margin. The length of the margin affects where the copier starts and stops copying, so that with a margin, you can't set (a) and (b) accurately. 10 Copying Only A Selected Portion Of The Original Example: copying the middle band of an A2 poster COPYING Suppose you are copying an A2 size poster (about 17" x 22") of a seashell, as shown on the previous page, and you want to copy only the middle portion of the shell. Follow the steps below. ¶ Press and hold the Function Select · When the beginning of the portion you key for three seconds, then proceed as for a usual copy.

The "P" will start blinking again. key for three seconds to turn the function off. The "P" will disappear. 11 COPYING Using The Rear Table--Originals That Can't Be Bent Using The Rear Table--Originals That Can't Be Bent You can feed originals from the rear of the copier. This way, the original will not turn inside the machine, but will travel straight through. Use the rear table to copy originals that can't or shouldn't be bent. Do not insert originals thicker than 3mm (about 1/8"). 1. Lower the exit copy guide. 2. Remove the exit copy holder. 3. Proceed as for a usual copy with or without the roll feeder. However, do not set the original on the original table. See step 4. 4. When the Set Original indicator lights up on the operation panel, insert the original face down. 5. If your original is longer than 800 mm (31", larger than A0) hold it up as the copier takes it in. 12 Copying To Different Media COPYING Copying To Different Media If you copy to film or vellum (translucent or tracing paper) you need to set the copy media, otherwise the copy might come out creased or wavy. To make a copy, the copier deposits a layer of black resin powder, called toner, on the copy paper. It then applies heat so that the toner melts and fuses to the paper. Some papers require more heat to fuse well, others less. Press the copy media key to select a type of paper, but for most kinds of plain paper both indicators should be off. Type of paper Media setting Plain paper Film Vellum Heavy paper Thin paper Both indicators off on on on No indicator, or if necessary, on. This list is not complete. If you are not sure of what type of paper you have, check the label on the paper package. If these settings do not match your paper, try different settings. C C/ Set the proper fusing temperature with the Copy Media key 13 COPYING Programming Settings You Often Use Programming Settings You Often Use There are two ways of programming settings you often use. First, you can link a collection of settings to the Program key ; this way the copier will recall your settings whenever you press that key. Second, you can change the copier's default settings so that those you want appear every time you turn the copier on or press the Clear Modes key. 1­Programming a collection of settings If you often find yourself using the same margin and density settings, you can have these settings appear at the stroke of a single key. Press the Program key to tell the copier to store the following key strokes in memory. Input the settings you want to program, then make a copy to store the settings in memory. 1. Press the Program key. C/ 2. Input the settings you want to program. C C/ 3. Make a copy, then press the Program key again. 14 Programming Settings You Often Use COPYING 4. To retrieve the programmed settings, press the Program key before copying. C/ 2­Changing The Copier's Default Settings You might find that you never use the copier's default settings, that you always set a lead margin of 10 or 20 mm, or that you always use the roll feeder with a particular length of paper. In this case, you might want to change the settings that appear when you turn on the copier or press the Clear Modes key . To do so, follow the steps below. 1. Turn the main switch off. 2. Press and hold the Emergency Stop key, then turn the copier back on. The jam and service indicators blink. 15
