USING THE BASIC FEATURES
Scan method
Choice:

>ADF/Multipage: Select this setting if you need to scan multi-page document from the 
automatic document feeder (ADF).
Image type
1.Choose B&W if your original contains only B&W text, pencil or ink sketch.
2.Halftones are the reproduction of an image that gives the illusion of grey. An 
example of a halftone image would be the pictures you see in newspapers.
3.8-Bit Grey images contain actual shades of grey.
4.Choose 24-Bit Color (input) if you wish to scan a colour image. 
Resolution
The correct resolution will reproduce a clear image with good details. The resolution is 
measured in dots per inch (dpi).
Adjusting the brightness and contrast
1. Brightness
Adjusts the lightness or darkness of an image. The higher the value, the brighter the image.
2. Contrast
Adjusts the range between the darkest and the lightest shades in the image. The higher 
the contrast, the larger the greyscale.
NOTE
An A4 size color image scanned at 300 dpi at True Color mode consumes 
approximately 25 MB of disk space. A higher resolution (usually means over 
600 dpi) is only recommended when you need to scan a small area in True 
Color mode.

CONSUMABLE LIFE EXPECTANCY
As a guide, the life expectancy of these items is:
>Toner
Starter cartridge:
The machine is shipped with sufficient black, cyan, magenta and yellow toner for 
2,250 A4 pages, of which 750 A4 pages of toner are used to charge the image drum 
(1,500 A4 pages remaining).
Replacement cartridge:
>Image drum: As the lifetime of the cartridge is proportional to the number of drum 
rotations, simplex printing on A4 or Letter paper yields:
20,000 pages (approx.) for 3 pages per job
12,000 pages (approx.) for 1 page per job
>Transfer belt: Approximately 60,000 A4 pages.
>Fuser: Approximately 60,000 A4 pages.
NOTE
When the LCD display indicates TONER LOW, or if print appears faded, first 
open the top cover and try tapping the cartridge a few times to evenly 
distribute the toner powder. This will enable you to obtain the best “yield” from 
your toner cartridge.
