NOTES:
lBefore loading originals into the document feeder
tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips
from them. The RADF can handle a maximum of 50
originals.
lBadly damaged originals may misfeed in the RADF.
It is recommended that these be copied from the
document glass and the copies be used as original
documents.
lWhen feeding originals which have closely spaced
binding holes punched along an edge, place the
originals so that the punched edge is positioned to
the right or along the side guides.
Stream feeding mode
The stream feeding mode allows easy operation of continuous copying
from the RADF. If the stream feeding mode has been enabled using key
operator program P47, the original feed indicator will continue to blink for
approximately 5 seconds after feeding of all originals is completed. While
this indicator is blinking, any new originals placed in the document feeder
tray will be fed and copied automatically. If the stream feeding mode has
been disabled, the START key must be pressed each time the originals
are set even immediately after completion of a copy run from the RADF.
The default setting of the stream feeding mode is ÒOFFÓ.
HKEY OPERATOR See page 92 of the KEY OPERATORÕS GUIDE for
information on setting the stream feeding mode.

cally copied onto copy paper of their respective
sizes.

number allowable for the selected mode when copying begins if this
maximum is exceeded.
