GENERAL PROGRAMS
Job log control
Clear all job log data
The machine keeps a log of the jobs it has run. The job
log can be used to check general use of the machine.
The job log can be written to your computer in CSV
format using a Web browser. This program is used to
clear the job log. There is normally no need to use the
program.
Energy save
Energy save provides the following programs to
reduce your power costs. From an environmental
perspective, this also helps conserve natural
resources and reduce pollution.

Toner save in printer mode

Toner save in copy mode

Auto power shut-off

Auto power shut-off timer

Preheat mode setting
Toner save in printer mode
Printing in the toner save mode will reduce  toner
consumption. If toner save is set, black solid areas will
be printed as halftone. (This setting is effective only for
printing without use of the dedicated printer driver. If
the printer driver is used, the printer driver setting will
override the setting of this program.)
Toner save in copy mode
This program is used to save toner in copy mode. This
program functions the same way as toner save in
printer mode.Auto power shut-off
If the machine is not used for a set duration of time,
auto power shut-off activates to enable maximum
conservation of energy.
This function allows you to reduce power costs, and at
the same time helps conserve natural resources and
reduce pollution.
This program is used to enable or disable auto power
shut-off. To disable the function, remove the
checkmark from the checkbox. Use this program if you
prefer that auto power shut-off does not operate.
Auto power shut-off timer
This program is used to set the time after which auto
power shut-off activates.
The time can be set to as long as 240 minutes in
increments of one minute.
Preheat mode setting
If the printer is not used for the length of time set with
this program after printing is finished, it will enter
preheat mode. This function reduces your power costs,
and at the same time helps conserve natural resources
and reduce pollution. 
Select the most suitable setting to match your pattern
of use of the printer.
The time can be set to as long as 240 minutes in
increments of one minute. (Preheat mode cannot be
disabled.)
Print dataExample of 
print in the 
toner save 
mode
NOTE
If you prefer that auto power shut-off activates as
little as possible, it is recommended that you try
lengthening the time setting after which activation
takes place rather than disabling the function
altogether. (The time setting is changed using the
following AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF TIMER
program.)
NOTE

We suggest you set the most appropriate time
according to your usage pattern.

If you use the program Auto power shut-off to
disable the auto power shut-off mode, the time set
with this program will be ignored.

GENERAL PROGRAMS
Operation settings
The Operation settings are related to basic operation
of the machine and consist of the following programs:

Keys touch sound

Auto clear setting

Disabling of job priority operation

Message time setting

Disabling of bypass printing

Display language setting

Key operation setting

Disabling switching of display order

Disabling of clock adjustment
Keys touch sound
This program is used to adjust (or turn off) the volume
of the beep that sounds when you touch a key. You can
also have three beeps sound at base values when
setting the ratio in copy mode or adjusting the exposure
in any mode.
To change the volume, touch the desired volume key.
When KEY TOUCH SOUND AT INITIAL POINT is
selected, three beeps will sound at the base setting
values indicated below.
Auto clear setting
If the machine is not used for a certain duration of time,
the auto clear function will clear any settings that have
been selected and return the screen to the main screen
of copy mode or the job status screen. This program is
used to set the duration of time after which auto clear
operates. The time can be set from 10 seconds to 240
seconds in increments of 10 seconds, or the auto clear
function can be disabled. (Note that auto clear can only
be disabled for copy mode.)Disabling of job priority operation
This program is used to prohibit use of the [PRIORITY]
key in the job status screen.
Message time setting
This program is used to set the length of time that
messages appear in the display (this applies to
messages that appear for a certain length of time and
then automatically disappear.) 
The time can be set to as long as 12 seconds in
increments of one second.
Disabling of bypass printing
When a job cannot be printed because there is no
suitable paper and there is a subsequent job that can
be printed, the subsequent job will be printed ahead of
the job that cannot be printed
*1 (page 1-15 of the
Operation manual (general information and copier
operation)). This program can be used to disable
printing of subsequent jobs in this situation.
*1 Except when paper runs out in the middle of a job
Display language setting
This program is used to select the display language.
Key operation setting
These programs are used to set the length of time a
key in the touch panel must be touched before the key
input is registered, and to prevent repeated key input
when a key is touched continuously.
• Time until key input is registered
The time can be set from 0 seconds to 2 seconds in
increments of 0.5 seconds. Normally the time is set
to 0 seconds so that key input is immediately
registered when a key is touched. By lengthening the
time setting, key input can be prevented when a key
is touched accidentally. Keep in mind, however, that
when a longer setting is selected more care is
required when touching keys to ensure that key input
is registered.
 Prohibit key repeat
The touch panel contains keys such as the zoom
keys (for setting the ratio) that can  be touched
continuously to make a value change until it reaches
a desired value.
This feature whereby a value changes continuously
while a key is touched is called key repeat. 
Key repeat is normally enabled. If you wish to prohibit
key repeat, select the DISABLE AUTO KEY
REPEAT checkbox.

GENERAL PROGRAMS
Saddle stitch position adjust
This program is used to adjust the stapling position
(folding position) when using the saddle stitch function
of the optional saddle stitch finisher.
The value can be adjusted in 0.1 mm increments within
±3.0 mm from the reference position for each paper size.
[AUTOMATIC SADDLE STITCH] checkmark
The saddle stitch print function can normally be divided
into the following three general steps.
1. The pages of the original are automatically
reordered to allow saddle stitch binding (saddle
stitch function).
2. The pages are folded at the centre.
3. The paper is stapled at the centre in two places
(saddle stitch stapling).
The [AUTOMATIC SADDLE STITCH] checkbox is
selected by default.
Selection of the checkbox assumes the use of the
above saddle stitch printing function (three steps).
Saddle stitch stapling exceptions
Depending on the purpose of saddle stitch stapling, it
may be necessary to perform saddle stitch stapling on
printed matter that has already been bound by saddle
stitching. In this case, it is necessary to disable step 1
above. If you frequently perform this type of
exceptional saddle stitch stapling that requires
disabling step 1, remove the checkmark from the
[AUTOMATIC SADDLE STITCH] checkbox.
High speed stacking
This program is used to have print speed priority, which
is available for printing in the offset mode with the
saddle stitch finisher.
When this program is on, slight decrease of stacking
performance might occur.
This program is set in the factory default setting.
Rotated output
When Rotated output is turned on, you can have the
paper output orientation (A4-size paper only) of each
set of copies alternate between horizontal and vertical.
This function is used to sort output when neither the
Finisher peripheral nor the Saddle stitch finisher
peripheral are installed.
* To use this function, A4-size paper must be loaded
both horizontally and vertically in the paper trays.
This function works when paper is output to the
centre tray.The function does not work in the following cases:
 When paper is output to the Finisher peripheral or the
Saddle stitch finisher.
 Printing in Group mode.
 When a letter-size original is printed on A4-size
paper using the A4/letter size auto change key
operator program (page 5-5 of the Operation
manual (for printer)).
 When Transparency Inserts or Different Paper
settings is selected in the printer driver.
 When the Paper Source drop down in the Paper
Selection is set to any selection other than Auto
Select in the printer driver.
 When the printing paper size for a stored job or a job
in progress has been overridden and changed to A4
size.
Auto paper selection setting
Use this program to select the paper type* for which the
automatic paper selection function operates.
Selections are PLAIN PAPER, PLAIN AND
RECYCLE PAPER, and RECYCLE PAPER.
* The paper type set for each paper tray in the paper
tray settings of the user settings (page 2-5 of the
Operation manual (for general information and
copier operation)).
Optimization of a hard disk
This is used to optimize the Main folder and Custom
folder that are used for the document filing function.
When this program is executed, a message will appear
asking if it is okay to stop the job in progress. Touch the
[YES] key to stop the job and begin optimization. When
optimization ends, the machine will restart if the power
switch is switched on, or turn off if the power switch is
switched off.

Disabling deletion of job programs


Disabling of bypass-tray in duplex copy

Disabling of auto paper selection
*1 Default settings selected with these programs apply
to all functions of the machine (not just the copy
function).
Initial status settings
The copy settings revert to the default settings when
the power switch is turned on, when the [CA] key is
pressed, or when the auto clear time elapses. This
program is used to change the default settings, or
return changed default settings to the initial factory
default settings.
Defaults for the following copy settings can be
changed:
Paper tray/Exposure tray/Copy ratio/2-sided copy/Out
put (auto, sort, staple sort, group, output tray)
Exposure adjustment
This program is used to adjust the exposure level when
Auto is used for the copy exposure.
The factory setting is 5. 1 indicates lighter density
and 9 indicates darker density on the touch panel.Rotation copy setting
If this program is set, the image of originals will rotate
when the orientation of the originals does not match
that of the copy paper.
(Rotation copy will function only if the auto paper select
or auto image mode has been selected.)
Add or change extra preset ratios
When using AB sizes, there are normally five preset
enlargement ratios and five preset reduction ratios.
When using inch sizes, there are normally four preset
enlargement ratios and four preset reduction ratios.
This program allows you to add two more preset
enlargement ratios and two more preset reduction
ratios. This program also allows you to change a preset
ratio.
600dpi x 600dpi scanning mode for document
feeder
Use this program to change the original scanning
resolution of the automatic document feeder from 600
x 300 dpi to 600 x 600 dpi.
If this mode is set, the copy quality for fine characters
and fine lines will be improved but the original scanning
speed will be slower.
Quick scan from document glass
Use this program to change the original scanning
resolution on the document glass from 600 x 600dpi to
600 x 300 dpi.
If you set this program, the first copy time will be shorter
but the copy image will become a little more coarse.
NOTE
If this program is used to change the default setting
for the duplex function to other than one-sided 
one-sided and the automatic document feeder fails
or is disabled, the setting will revert to one-sided 
one-sided.

PROGRAMS FOR COPY MODE
Initial margin shift setting
This program is used to set the initial margin shift
amount.
The initial margin shift amount can be set from 0 mm to
20 mm (0 to 1) in increments of 1 mm (1/8).
Normally the margin shift is set to 10 mm (1/2) for both
the front and back of the paper.
Erase width adjustment
This program is used to set the initial width of edge
erase copying.
The edge erase width can be set from 0 mm to 20 mm
(0 to 1) in increments of 1 mm (1/8).
The edge erase and centre erase widths are normally
set to 10 mm (1/2).
Card shot settings
This program is used to set the initial original size for
the card shot function.
Enter the X dimension (width) first and then the Y
dimension (length).
Both the X and Y dimensions can be set from 25 mm to
210 mm (1 to 8-1/2) in increments of 1 mm (1/8).
Setting a maximum number of copies
This program is used to set the maximum number of
copies that are allowed per original.
Any number from 1 to 999 can be set for the maximum.
The maximum number of copies is initially set to 999.
Disabling deletion of job programs
This program is used to prohibit the deletion and
changing of copy settings stored in job programs.
Disabling of bypass-tray in duplex copy
This program is used to disable the use of the bypass
tray when making duplex copies.
The bypass tray is often used to feed label sheets,
transparency film, and other special papers for which
two-sided copying is prohibited. If one of these special
papers enters the reversing unit, a misfeed or damage
to the unit may result. If special papers for which
two-sided copying is prohibited are often used, it is
recommended that you enable this program to prevent
feeding of special papers from the bypass tray into the
reversing unit during two-sided copying.
Disabling of auto paper selection
This program is used to disable the auto paper
selection function.
When this program is enabled, paper that is the same
size as the original placed on the document glass or in
