Page 6: Installation Requirements
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS To ensure safety and proper machine performance, please note the following before initial installation and whenever the machine is to be relocated. The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection. Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements.
Page 7: Cautions
CAUTIONS Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies. The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area. 3. Since a hard disk drive is built into the copier, be sure to turn the power switch to the “OFF”...

Once the copier is ready, the message display will change to “READY TO COPY.”, and the START ( ) key indicator will light up, indicating that copying is possible.
Page 10: Power Save Modes
POWER ON AND OFF Power save modes The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and thereby reduce the cost of operation and to conserve natural resources to help reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode. KEY OPERATOR The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been preset at the factory to 15 min.

Page 17: Using The Radf
USING THE RADF The RADF (reversing automatic document feeder) will handle multiple originals. Before loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from them. Damaged or crumpled originals or originals which have been folded may misfeed in the RADF or cause incorrect size detection.

Page 32: Job Memory
JOB MEMORY Frequently used job programs can be stored in one of nine storage registers. This is convenient for quick job recall without losing time manually reprogramming each aspect of the job. All functions that can be set in the copy mode except the copy quantity setting can be stored in the job memory.

Page 34: Interrupting A Copy Run
INTERRUPTING A COPY RUN INTERRUPT can be used to temporarily stop a long copy run so that another job can be run. INTERRUPT will not function during duplex copying. Duplex copying, tandem copying and the JOB BUILD function can not be selected during interrupt copying. When an optional dual tray output unit (AR-TR1) is installed, interrupt copies are output to the second tray of the unit.
