COPY FUNCTIONS
This chapter explains the basic procedures for making copies, including selection of the copy ratio and other copy 
settings.
NORMAL COPYING
This section explains how to make a regular copy.
If Auditing mode has been enabled (page 23), enter your 5-digit account number.
Copying from the document glass
1Open the SPF and place the original 
face down on the document glass.
Align the upper left-hand corner 
of the original with the tip of the 
 mark.
The original size is 
automatically detected.
2Close the SPF.
After placing the original, be 
sure to close the SPF. If left 
open, parts outside of the 
original will be copied black, 
causing excessive use of toner.
3Make sure that the desired paper tray 
is selected.
To load paper, see LOADING PAPER (page 18).
4Set the number of copies.
An original up to A3 (11 x 17) can be 
placed on the document glass.
If the original is a non-standard size or the 
size was not detected correctly, see 
SELECTING THE ORIGINAL SIZE (page 
50).
Note
Note
 If the auto paper select function has been 
disabled in the system settings (page 88), 
use the [PAPER SELECT] key to select 
the desired paper size.
 If you wish to use a size of paper different 
from the size automatically selected by 
the machine, use the [PAPER SELECT] 
key to select the desired paper size.
 Paper in a different orientation from the 
original can be selected if the auto paper 
select or auto image function has been 
selected. In this case, the image of the 
original will be rotated.
 To make a copy of a small original such as 
a card, follow the procedure in USING 
THE BYPASS TRAY TO COPY A 
SPECIAL SIZE ORIGINAL (page 51).
 To use the bypass tray, select it manually.
If you are making two or more copies each 
of multiple original pages, you can select the 
sort function to collate the copies into sets.

original has not been left on the 
document glass. Gently close the SPF.
2Adjust the original guides to the size 
of the original(s).
3Place the original(s) face up in the 
document feeder tray.
The original size appears in the 
display and the most suitable 
paper size is automatically

5Press the [START] key ( ) to begin 
copying.
The copies are delivered to the

 The centre tray can hold a maximum of 
250 sheets (150 sheets when the job 
separator tray kit is installed).

About one minute after copying ends, 
Auto clear (page 18) activates and 
restores the copy settings to the default 
settings. The setting for Auto clear can be 
changed in the system settings. (Page 83)
 To cancel a copy job in progress, press 
the [C] key.
 Differences in copy conditions may cause 
the position of the printed copy image to 
vary even the copies are of the same 
original on the same paper. For more 
information, see Points concerning the 
position of the printed copy image on 
page 47.
Note
 If the original is a non-standard size or the 
size was not detected correctly, see 
SELECTING THE ORIGINAL SIZE 
(page 50).
 If the auto paper select function has been 
disabled in the system settings (page 88), 
use the [PAPER SELECT] key to select 
the desired paper size.
 To copy onto paper of a different size, 
press the [PAPER SELECT] key and 
select the desired paper size.

Paper in a different orientation from the original 
may be selected if the auto paper select or 
auto image function has been selected. In this 
case, the image of the original will be rotated.
 To use the bypass tray, select it manually.
 Do not place originals of different sizes 
together in the document feeder tray. This 
may cause misfeeds.
Note
 The centre tray can hold a maximum of 
250 sheets (150 sheets when the job 
separator tray kit is installed).
 About one minute after copying ends, 
Auto clear (page 18) activates and 
restores the copy settings to the initial 
settings. The duration of time after which 
Auto clear clears the copy settings can 
be changed in the system settings. (Page 
83)
 To stop copying in the middle of a run, 
press the [C] key. If you find it difficult to 
remove the original from the document 
feeder tray, open the feeding roller cover 
before removing the original. If you pull 
out the original without opening the 
feeding roller cover, the original may 
become dirty.

Auto paper select mode
When auto paper select mode is enabled, AUTO appears in the paper size display. This function automatically 
selects paper that is the same size as the original (A5, B5, B5R, A4, A4R, B4, A3, 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, 8-1/2 x 11, 
8-1/2 x 11R, 8-1/2 x 13, 8-1/2 x 14, 11 x 17 paper).
 If a zoom setting is selected after placing the original, the paper size that is appropriate for the zoom setting will 
be automatically selected.
 Auto paper select mode is cancelled if the auto zoom select function (page 52) is enabled or if a paper tray is 
selected with the [PAPER SELECT] key. Auto paper select resumes operation when the [CA] key is pressed or 
when Auto clear activates. Auto paper select mode can be disabled in the system settings. (Page 88)
Removing the document cover
To copy large originals like newspapers, remove the 
document cover. To remove the cover, lift it straight 
up as shown. To replace the cover, do the reverse.
The SPF cannot be removed.
Copying books or originals with folds or 
creases
Press down on the SPF (or document cover) while 
copying as shown. If the SPF (or document cover) is 
not completely closed, shadows may appear on the 
copy or it may be fuzzy. Straighten originals with 
folds or creases well before placing.
Originals that can be used in the SPF
Originals from A5 to A3 (5-1/2 x 8-1/2 to 11 x 17) in 
size and 56 
g/m2 to 90 g/m2 (15 lbs. to 24 lbs.) in weight 
can be used. A maximum of 40 pages can be placed at 
once. For originals that are B4 or larger (8-1/2 x 14 or 
larger), a maximum of 30 pages can be placed at once.
Originals that cannot be used in the SPF
The following originals cannot be used: These may 
cause misfeeds or smudging and unclear images.

Transparencies, tracing paper, other transparent 
or translucent paper, and photographs.
 Carbon paper, thermal paper.
 Originals that are creased, folded, or torn.
 Glued originals, cut-out originals.
 Originals with binder holes.

Originals printed using an ink ribbon (thermal transfer 
printing), originals on thermal transfer paper.
Points concerning the position of the printed copy image
Even if the same original is copied onto the same type of paper, differences in the original size, scanning location 
(document glass or document feeder tray), selected paper tray, enlargement/reduction ratio, and other conditions 
may cause the position of the printed copy image on the paper to vary.
As shown in the following example, when an original smaller than the paper size (for example, A5 original and A3 
paper) is copied from the document glass, the position of the printed copy image on the paper is different when 
paper from tray 1 is used (1) and paper from the bypass tray is used (2).
 Make sure that there are no paper 
clips or staples on the original.

Straighten curled originals before placing 
them in the document feeder tray. Curled 
originals may cause misfeeds.
 If the margin shift function is being 
used, the margin shift settings may 
need to be changed. (Page 68)

COPY FUNCTIONS
MAKING A COPY DARKER OR LIGHTER
The copy exposure can be adjusted as needed to the original. Three exposure modes are available: AUTO, 
TEXT and PHOTO. When TEXT or PHOTO is selected, the exposure can be manually adjusted to 5 levels.
Auto
This is the default exposure mode. In this mode, the characteristics of an original being copied are read by the 
exposure system and exposure adjustments are made automatically. The exposure level is lowered for coloured 
areas and background shadows.
Text/photo
TEXT:  This mode enhances low density areas of an original and suppresses high-density background areas to 
make text more legible.
PHOTO: This mode provides clearer reproduction of halftones in photos.
1Press the [EXPOSURE] key.
The copy exposure 
screen will appear.
2Select the exposure mode that best 
suits the original with the [ ] or [ ] 
key.
The [EXPOSURE] key can also be pressed to select 
the exposure mode.
3Adjust the exposure level as needed 
with the [ ] or [ ] key.
 The exposure level cannot be adjusted when 
AUTO is selected.
 For a darker image, press the [ ] key. For a lighter 
image, press the [ ] key.
 The default exposure levels for TEXT and 
PHOTO can be set in the system settings.
4Press the [OK] key.
To return to AUTO mode, press
