CONVENIENT COPY FUNCTIONS
This section explains major convenient copy functions.
ROTATING THE IMAGE 90 DEGREES (Rotation Copy)
When Auto paper select mode or automatic ratio selection are in operation and the original is placed in a different 
orientation (vertical or horizontal) than the paper, the original image will be automatically rotated 90 degrees to 
enable correct copying onto the paper.
This function is convenient for copying B4 or A3 originals, which can only be placed horizontally, onto paper that is 
loaded vertically.
The rotation copy function is initially enabled. It can be disabled in the system settings. (p.70)
SORT COPY/GROUP COPY
●Copies of multiple original pages can be sorted into sets. (Sort copy)
●Copies of multiple original pages can be grouped by page. (Group copy)
 Rotation copy will not operate when a copy is enlarged to a paper size greater than A4. In this case, place the 
original in the same orientation as the paper.
 When 2 IN 1 / 4 IN 1 copy is used (p.31), rotation copy will operate even if disabled in the system settings.
Note

The machine can scan standard originals (A4) with approximately 160 pages, however, the number will vary for 
photos and other types of originals. Less pages can be scanned for interrupt copying.Note

1(solid line or broken line) in the system settings (p.69). When finished, follow the steps below.
 An appropriate ratio setting will be automatically selected based on the size of the originals, the size of the 
paper, and the selected number of originals. When using the document glass, reduction is possible to 25%. 
When using the RSPF, reduction is possible to 50%. Certain combinations of original size, paper size, and 
number of images may result in images being cut off.
 Even if Rotation copy is disabled in the system settings, the original images may be rotated if necessary 
depending on their orientation and the orientation of the paper.
 2 IN 1 / 4 IN 1 copy cannot be used in combination with dual page copying (p.27), XY Zoom (p.21), margin shift

PRINTER FUNCTIONS
This chapter explains how to use the printer functions.
The procedure for loading paper is the same as for loading copy paper. See LOADING PAPER (p.9).
BASIC PRINTING
The following example explains how to print a document from WordPad.
Before printing, make sure that the correct size of paper for your document has been loaded in the machine.
1Make sure that the ON LINE indicator 
on the operation panel is lit.
If the ON LINE indicator is 
not lit, press the [ON 
LINE] key ( ). 
When the indicator is: 
 Lit, the machine is online and ready to print, or is 
printing.
 Blinking, the machine is processing print data in 
memory or printing has been paused.
 Off, the machine is off-line and cannot print.
2Start WordPad and open the 
document that you wish to print.
3Select Print from the applications 
File menu.
The Print dialog box will appear.

of the tabs in the setup screen and click the OK 
button.
PRINTER DRIVER SETTING SCREEN (p.37)
SETTING ADVANCED PRINT FUNCTIONS (p.38)
5Click the Print button.
Printing begins.
The print job will be delivered to the output tray.
 Print jobs received while the machine is copying or scanning will be stored in memory. When the copy job is 
finished, the print jobs will begin printing.
 Printing is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed 
occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time. 
 If an original misfeed occurs in the RSPF, printing will not be possible until the misfed original is removed and the 
RSPF is restored to a usable state.

This section explains major advanced print functions.
The explanations assume that the paper size and other basic settings have already been selected. For the basic 
procedure for printing and the steps for opening the printer driver, see BASIC PRINTING (p.35).
PRINTING MULTIPLE PAGES ON ONE PAGE (N-Up Printing)
This function can be used to reduce the print image and print multiple pages on a single sheet of paper.
This is convenient when you want to print multiple images such as photos on a single sheet of paper, and when you
want to conserve paper. This function can also be used in combination with two-sided printing for maximum 
conservation of paper.
The following print results will be obtained, depending on the order selected.
