The bypass tray is often used to feed label sheets, 
transparency film, and other special media for which 
two-sided copying is prohibited. If a sheet of one of these 
special media enters the reversing unit, a misfeed or 
damage to the unit may result. If special media for which 
two-sided copying is prohibited is often used, it is 
recommended that you enable this setting.

Glass
The resolution for copying in black and white using the 
document glass can be changed from 600 x 600 dpi to 
600 x 300 dpi (high speed mode).
When high speed mode is selected, the first copy time is 
quicker, however, the copy image is not as clear.
When high quality mode is not selected, the following 
conditions must be satisfied in order to scan at 600 x 
400 dpi and attain the fastest speed.
 The copy ratio must be set to 100%.
 Do not select a special mode that will change the 
ratio.
 [Copy of Copy] must not be enabled.

Color Adjustments
The following color settings can be configured.
Initial Color Balance Setting
Color balance values obtained using Color Balance in 
the special modes can be stored in a program (1 to 48), 
and those values can be retrieved and stored as the 
initial color balance setting*. Use this feature when you 
want to repeatedly use a color balance setting for a 
favorite color or for correction when a change occurs in 
the color balance.
* Preset values displayed when you select Color 
Balance in the special modes.
Return to the Factory Default Setting
This returns the stored color balance values to the 
factory default values (all color balance values are 0 for 
the 8 levels of each color).
Auto Color Calibration
This is used to perform automatic color correction when 
the color in color copies is off. The machine prints a test 
patch, the test patch is scanned, and the color is 
automatically corrected.
After the [Execute] key is touched and a test patch is 
printed, a message appears prompting you to begin 
automatic calibration. Place the test patch on the 
document glass as shown below (so that the thin line at 
the edge of the page is to the left).
Lay copy paper (about five sheets) that is the same size 
as the test patch on top of the placed test patch, gently 
close the automatic document feeder, and touch the 
[Execute] key.
 Before executing Auto Color Calibration, check to 
see if the registration adjustment is correct. If the 
registration adjustment is not correct, perform 
Registration Adjustment (page 7-65).
 If the color is still off after performing Auto Color 
Calibration, repeating Auto Color Calibration once 
again may improve the color.
