MAKING A COPY USING THE DOCUMENT GLASS
To make a copy of a book or other thick original that cannot be scanned with the automatic document feeder, open the 
automatic document feeder and place the original on the document glass. This section explains how to make a copy 
(1-sided copy of a 1-sided original) using the document glass.
1
Open the automatic document feeder, 
place the original face down on the 
document glass, and then gently close 
the automatic document feeder.
 Align the corner of the original with the tip of the arrow mark 
 on the document glass scale.
 Place the original in the appropriate position for its size as 
shown above.
 After placing the original, be sure to close the automatic 
document feeder. If left open, parts outside of the original will 
be copied black, causing excessive use of toner.
Do not place any objects under the original size detector. Closing the automatic document feeder with an object 
underneath may damage the original size detector plate and prevent correct detection of the document size.
2
Check the paper to be used and the 
colour mode.
Make sure that the desired paper (tray) and colour mode are 
selected.
 To change the paper (tray), touch the [Paper Select] key.
☞PAPER TRAYS (page 2-11)
 To change the colour mode, touch the [Colour Mode] key.
☞COPY COLOUR MODES (page 2-21)
Depending on the size of the placed original, there may be cases where the same size of paper as the original is not 
selected automatically. In this event, change the paper size manually.

COPY COLOUR MODES
The colour mode of the [COLOUR START] key is normally set to [Full Colour] so that copying takes place in full colour 
mode when the [COLOUR START] key is pressed. If colour originals are mixed together with black & white originals, set 
the colour mode to [Auto] to have the colour mode change appropriately for each original.
Touch the [Colour Mode] key in the base screen to open the following screen.
Touch the key of the desired colour mode and then touch the [OK] key.
Full ColourThe original is copied in full colour.
AutoThe machine automatically detects whether each original is colour or black & white and 
switches the mode appropriately (full colour for a colour original or black & white for a black & 
white original).
Single ColourThe original is copied in the selected colour only.
All colours in the original are changed to the selected colour, which can be selected from red, 
green, blue, cyan, magenta, or yellow.
2 ColourOnly the red areas of the original are changed to the selected colour; colours other than red 
are copied in black. This lets you make copies that are more expressive than black and white 
copies.
Red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, or yellow can be selected.
