Chapter 3
This chapter explains basic copying functions. 
NORMAL COPYING
Using the document glass

on the document glass.
[How to place the original]
Align the original with the original scale and the 
centring ( ) mark.
2 Gently close the original cover/RSPF.
By factory default, when a copy is made with 
the original cover/RSPF cover open, the 
function for preventing excessive toner use 
activates and CHECK ORIGINAL appears 
in the display. (See the Check original 
cover/RSPF open function (p.14).)
3Select the number of copies and any other copy settings, and 
then press the [START] key ( ).
Copying books or originals with folds or creases
Press down on the original cover/RSPF while 
copying as shown. If the original cover/RSPF is not 
completely closed, shadows may appear on the copy 
or it may be fuzzy. Straighten originals that have 
folds or creases before placing it on the document 
glass.
 The document glass can scan up to 216 mm x 356 mm (8-1/2 x 14) original.
 When a copy is made, the edges will not be copied (image loss). For 
the image loss, see the SPECIFICATIONS (p.82).
 To stop copying in the middle of a run, press the [CLEAR] key ( ).

up.
2To reattach the original cover, reverse the above procedure.
Using the RSPF (Option)
1Make sure that an original has not been left on the document 
glass.
2Adjust the original guides to the size 
of the originals.
3Place the original(s) face up in the 
document feeder tray without trying 
to force them in.
The RSPF indicator on the operation panel 
will light up. If this indicator does not light up, 
the originals are not properly set or the RSPF 
is not properly closed.

then press the [START] key ( ).
 Originals that are 140 mm x 216 mm to 216 mm x 356 mm

(14 lbs. to 24 lbs.) can be used. A maximum of 50 pages can be 
placed at once.
 Straighten curled originals before placing them in the document 
feeder tray. Curled originals may cause misfeeds.
 Place originals horizontally.
 Before placing originals in the document feeder tray, be sure to 
remove any staples or paper clips from them.
 When a copy is made, the edges will not be copied (
image loss). 
For the image loss, see the SPECIFICATIONS (p.82).
 When using the margin shift function, check the position of the 
margins carefully. (p.34)
 The default output mode for copying from the RSPF is sort mode 
(P.29), and a checkmark   will automatically appear in the display 
(P.11). If SORT AUTO SELECT is disabled in the user programs, 
the default output mode will be non-sort mode. (P.57)
