The meaning of R in original and paper size indications
An R appearing at the end of an original or paper size (A4R, B5R (8-1/2 x 
11R, 5-1/2 x 8-1/2R), etc.) indicates that the original or paper is oriented 
horizontally as shown below.
Sizes that can be placed only in the horizontal (landscape) orientation (A3, 
B4 (11 x 17, 8-1/2 x 14)) do not contain the R in their size indication.
Conventions used in this manual
This manual refers to the Reversing single pass feeder as the RSPF and the single pass feeder as the SPF. 
Unless specific mention is made, both the RSPF and the SPF are referred to simply as SPF. Warns the user that injury may result if the contents of the warning are not properly followed.
Cautions the user that damage to the machine or one of its components may result if the contents

MAIN FEATURES
High-speed laser copying
 First-copy time*1 at 600 x 300 dpi*2 is only 7.2 seconds.
  Copying speed  is  20  (MX-M200D)  or  16 (MX-M160D) copies  per  minute. This  provides a big boost to  workplace 
productivity.
*1 Measured after the machine has warmed up following power-on, copying using the document glass (A4 (8-1/2 x 11) paper 
fed from machine tray 1). The first-copy time may vary depending on machine operating conditions and ambient conditions 
such as temperature and power voltage.
*2 dpi (dots per inch) is a unit that is used to measure resolution. Resolution indicates how much detail can be reproduced  in 
a printed or scanned image.
High-quality digital image
 High-quality copying at 600 dpi is performed.
 In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, two exposure modes can be selected: TEXT for text-only originals,  and PHOTO for photographs. The exposure can be adjusted to five levels in each mode.

Photo mode allows clear copying of originals with delicate halftones such as monochrome photos and colour photos.
Enhanced copying features
 The zoom function can be used to reduce or enlarge copies from 25% to 400% in increments of 1%. (When the  SPF is used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)
 Up to 999 copies can be made of an original scanned just once. (This can be changed to a maximum of 99 copies  in the system settings.)
 The system settings allow functions to be selected and managed to meet your specific needs. For example,  access to the machine can be controlled by enabling audit mode.
Sort function
Copies of multiple original pages can sorted into sets.
Laser printer function / colour scanner function
 The machine is equipped standard with a USB interface, enabling it to be used as a printer and a scanner.
 To use the machine as a printer or scanner, the printer driver or scanner driver must first be installed as explained in the Software setup guide.

TURNING THE POWER ON AND OFF
The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.
POWER ON
Turn the power switch to the ON position
 It will take about 45 seconds 
for the machine to warm up.
 When the power switch is 
turned to the ON position, 
the message System check. 
will appear in the message 
display and warm-up will start.
Once the copier has finished warming up, the 
message display will change to Ready to copy. and 
the START indicator will light up to indicate that 
copying is possible. Copy settings can be selected 
during warm-up.
 If auditing mode has been enabled (page 79), the 
message Enter your account number. will appear 
after warming up. Once a valid account number has 
been entered, the message display will change to 
Ready to copy. and copying will be possible.
POWER OFF
Make sure that the machine is not in operation 
and then turn the power switch to the OFF 
position.
If the power switch is turned off 
while the machine is in 
operation, a misfeed may occur 
and the job that was in progress 
will be cancelled.
Power save modes
The machine has two power save modes to reduce power consumption, thereby helping to reduce environmental 
pollution and conserve resources.
Preheat mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the duration of time set in the 
system settings elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. In preheat mode the display turns 
off. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, or 
a print job or fax is received.
Auto power shut-off mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the 
duration of time set in the system settings elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. During 
auto power shut-off, only the START indicator blinks. To restore the machine to normal operation, press the 
[START] key. Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job or fax is received or scanning is begun 
from a computer. While auto power shut-off is in effect, pressing a key other than the [START] key will have no 
effect.
 If the fax option is installed, be sure to keep the power turned on.
Faxes cannot be received when the power is turned off.
 The machine is set at the factory to return all settings to the default settings one minute after a copy job is 
finished (auto clear function). When the settings return to the default settings, any functions that were selected 
are cancelled. The auto clear time can be changed in the system settings. (Page 83)
The preheat mode activation time and the Auto power shut-off timer can be changed in the system settings.
