Network Interface
With the optional Network Kit, the imageRUNNER 2320/2318 can be connected to 
a network using Ethernet. Connecting to a 
network enables you to use the Remote UI.
For instructions on setting up the network connection, see the Network Guide.
Using the Remote User Interface
If the network connection is available, you can 
control functions, such as confirming the status of the machine and job operations, all from your 
computer’s Web browser.
Once the Ethernet interface port is configured 
properly, the imageRUNNER 2320/2318 can be controlled and set up through the Remote UI 
and network. For instructions on configuring the 
Ethernet port, see the Network Guide.
Network Scanning
If the network connection is available, the 
Network Scan function enables you to use the imageRUNNER 2320/2318 as a conventional 
scanner. You can scan a document using the 
machine, and read the data in an application on your computer. To use this function, the 
machine must be connected to a network, and 
the Color Network ScanGear software* must be installed on your computer.
*The Color Network ScanGear software is supplied on the accompanying disc. For more information on the Network Scan function, see the Network ScanGear Guide.

Basic Operations

Placing Originals
Place your originals on the platen glass or into the feeder, depending on the size 
and type of the original, and the copy modes you want to use.
■Platen Glass
Place your originals on the platen glass when copying bound originals (such as books and 
magazines), heavy or lightweight originals, and transparencies.
■Feeder (DADF-P2) (Optional)
Place your originals into the feeder when you want to copy several originals at a time, and 
then press   (Start). The machine automatically feeds the originals to the scanning area 
and scans them. If you are copying in the 2-Sided mode, two-sided originals can also be 
automatically turned over and scanned as two-sided documents.
Orientation
You can place an original either vertically or horizontally. Always align the top edge 
of your original with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in the top left 
corner), or with the back edge of the feeder.

NOTE
•If the top edge of the original is not aligned with the back edge of the platen glass (by the 
arrow in the top left corner), your original may not be scanned correctly, depending on 
the copy mode you have set.
•A4 and A5 originals can be placed either vertically or horizontally. However, the scanning 
speed for horizontally placed originals is somewhat slower than for vertically placed 
originals. Place originals horizontally when printing with a preset copy ratio, such as 
when enlarging an A4 or A5 original onto A3 paper. (See Chapter 1, “Basic Operations,” 
in the Copying Guide.)
•Horizontally placed A4 and A5 originals are referred to as A4R and A5R.
•A3 originals must be placed horizontally.
•To achieve the same output orientation using the optional feeder as when the original is 
placed on the platen glass, place the original upside down and face up. However, if an 
appropriate size of paper is not loaded for the Staple mode, the output is rotated 
automatically.
Vertical Placement
Place the original face up.
Horizontal Placement
Place the original face up.

Platen Glass
You should use the platen glass when copying bound originals (such as books and 
magazines), heavy or lightweight originals, and transparencies. (See Chapter 1, 
“Basic Operations,” in the Copying Guide.) When copying ID cards using the 
ID Card Copy function, you must use the platen glass. (See Chapter 2, “Advanced 
Operations,” in the Copying Guide.)
1Lift the feeder/platen cover.
2Place your original face down.
The original that you want to copy must be 
placed face down. Align the top edge of your 
original with the back edge of the platen 
glass (by the arrow in the top left corner).
Place books and other bound originals on 
the platen glass in the same way as 
described above.

NOTE
When you are enlarging an A4 or A5 original onto A3 paper, place the original 
horizontally on the platen glass, and align it with the A4R or A5R marks.
3Gently close the feeder/platen 
cover.
CAUTION
•Close the feeder/platen cover gently 
to avoid catching your hands, as 
this may result in personal injury.
•Do not press down hard on the 
feeder/platen cover when using the 
platen glass to make copies of thick 
books. Doing so may damage the 
platen glass and result in personal 
injury.
NOTE
When scanning is complete, lift the 
feeder/platen cover, and remove the 
original from the platen glass.

Feeder (DADF-P2) (Optional)
You should use the feeder when you want to copy several originals at a time. With 
the feeder, the machine automatically feeds the originals to the scanning area and 
scans them. If you are copying in the 2-Sided mode, two-sided originals can also 
be automatically turned over and scanned as two-sided documents.
You can place the following originals into the feeder’s original supply tray:
•Weight:
- 52 g/m2 to 105 g/m2 (37 g/m2 to 52 g/m2 and 106 g/m2 to 128 g/m2 when 
scanning a single page document)
•Size:
- A4, A4R, A3, A5, and A5R
•Tray capacity:
- A4, A4R, A5, and A5R: 50 sheets (80 g/m2)
- A3: 25 sheets (80 g/m2)
IMPORTANT
•Do not place the following types of originals into the feeder:
- Originals with tears or large binding holes
- Severely curled originals or originals with sharp folds
- Clipped or stapled originals
- Carbon backed paper or other originals which may not feed smoothly
- Transparencies and other highly transparent originals
•If the same original is fed through the feeder repeatedly, the original may fold or become 
creased, and make feeding impossible. Limit repeated feeding to a maximum of 
30 times. (This number may vary, depending on the type and quality of the original.)
•If the feeder rollers are dirty from scanning originals written in pencil, clean the feeder. 
(See Chapter 6, “Routine Maintenance,” in the Reference Guide.)
•Always smooth out any folds in your originals before placing them into the feeder.
•Set the originals one by one if they are very thin (37 g/m2 to 52 g/m2) or very thick 
(106 g/m2 to 128 g/m2).

NOTE
•When you are enlarging an A4 or A5 original onto A3 paper, place the original 
horizontally.
•The scanned originals are output to the original output area in the order that they are fed 
into the feeder.
•You can place different size originals together into the feeder if you set the Different Size 
Originals mode. (See Chapter 2, “Advanced Operations,” in the Copying Guide.)
1Adjust the slide guides to fit the 
size of your originals.
2Neatly place your originals with 
the side to be copied face up into 
the original supply tray.
Place your originals as far into the feeder as 
they will go.
IMPORTANT
•Do not add or remove originals while 
they are being scanned.
•When scanning is complete, remove 
the originals from the original output 
area to avoid paper jams.
