    Making Copies
    This section describes the procedure to copy a document of A4 size on plain paper.
    For the operation, see the notes and operation procedure described in the reference page.

    You need to prepare:
    Originals to copy.
    Paper for printing. See [ Media Types You Can Use ]

    1. Prepare for copying.
    (1) Make sure that the power is turned on.
    (2) Press the COPY button.
    The copy standby screen will appear.
    (3) Load paper.
    Here we make sure that A4 plain paper is loaded in the Rear Tray.
    (4) Open the Paper Output Tray gently.
    (5) Load an original on the Platen Glass or in the ADF.
    To load the original on the Platen Glass, align it with the alignment mark WITH THE SIDE TO COPY FACING DOWN as shown below.
    Then close the Document Cover gently.
    REFERENCE
    • For details on the types and conditions of the original which can be copied, and how to load the original in the ADF, see [ Loading Originals in the ADF ]
    • Characters and lines written with a light colored pen or highlight pen may not be copied properly.




    2. Start copying.
    (1) Use the (-) or (+) button or the Numeric buttons to specify the number of copies (D).
    (2) Confirm the page size, media type, and other settings.
    Here we confirm that 100% for Enlarge/Reduce (A), A4 for Page size (B), Plain paper for Media type (E), and Std (Standard) for Image quality (C) are specified.
    REFERENCE
    • To change or confirm the page size, media type, or other settings, press the Settings button repeatedly until the desired setting item appears.
    See [ Changing the Settings ]
    • To make copies in various layout, press the Menu button to display the Special copy menu, and use the (-) or (+) button to select the functions.
    See [ Using Useful Copy Functions ]

    (3) Press the Color button for color copying, or the Black button for black & white copying.
    The machine starts copying.
    Remove the original on the Platen Glass or the Document Output Slot after copying is completed.
    IMPORTANT
    • Do not open the Document Cover or move the loaded original until scanning is completed. If you open the Document Cover while printing is in progress, be sure to close it gently.
    REFERENCE
    • If you start copying with the original loaded on the Platen Glass, you can continue copying with another original by loading it on the Platen Glass while printing is still in progress (Reserve copy).
    • Press the Stop button to cancel copying.
    • The machine can receive faxes even in the copy standby screen.

    • Changing the Settings

    You can use the Settings button to change the print settings such as page size, media type, or image quality to print.
    Press the Settings button to display the setting items in the following order.
    To change the setting, display the desired item and use the (-) or (+) button to select the option, and then press the OK button.
    The LCD returns to the copy standby screen when the setting is complete.



    - Enlarge/Reduce
    Specify the enlargement/reduction manner. You can specify the copy scale by selecting the optional number or the page size: 86% A4 -> B5, 115% B5 -> A4, etc. If you do not want to enlarge/reduce the page size, select 100%.
    - Copy intensity
    Specify the intensity when you want to make the darkened/lightened copy. You can also set the intensity to automatically adjust according to the original. When Auto adjust (A) is selected, the ADF is not available.
    - Page size
    Select the page size of the paper to print: A4, Letter, etc.
    - Media type
    Select the media type of the paper to print: Plain paper, Plus Glossy II, etc.
    REFERENCE
    • If you do not select the media type correctly, the machine may not print with the proper image quality.

    - Image quality
    Specify the image quality according to the requirements of the original to copy: High, Standard, and Fast. The available image quality options vary depending on the paper selected for Media type.
    REFERENCE
    • If 2-on-1 copy or 4-on-1 copy is selected, select A4 or Letter for Page size.
    • If Borderless copy is selected, select Letter, A4, 4"x6" (10x15cm), or 5"x7" (13x18cm) for Page size and any types of paper except Plain paper for Media type. You cannot make a borderless copy of the document loaded in the ADF. Load the original on the Platen Glass.
    • If Borderless copy is selected, slight cropping may occur at the edges since the copied image is enlarged to fill the whole page.
    • The settings of the page size, media type, print quality, automatic intensity adjustment, etc. are retained, and these settings will appear next time when the copy mode is selected even if the power is turned off and on. The settings of the page size and media type are retained and shared among the copy mode, fax mode, and template print.
    • Combination of some setting items cannot be specified depending on the function.
    • If you select Fast with the media type set to Plain paper and the quality is not as good as expected, select Standard or High and then try copying again.
