WHATYOUR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE CAN

CHANGE

Your service representative can adjust some of your copier’s features. Here’s a list of changes the

service representative can make for you.

❐ Copy media default: The copy media setting can be adjusted to match the kind of paper you use.

❐ Count up and count down: The copy counter can be made to count up or count down.

❐ Beeper: The beeper can be turned off completely; can be turned off for setting the margin,

multiple copies, and paper length; or it can be left on to emit a tone whenever a key is pressed.

❐ Paper feed out waiting time: When the copier is ready to receive the original, it will wait for a

preset length of time. If no original is set within this time, the copier will process the copy paper

without copying. The time can be set to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 minutes.

❐ Manual feed start time:After copy paper is set, the copier waits for a preset number of seconds

before starting the rollers that will pull the paper in. This pause gives you a chance to align the

paper. The time can be set to 0.7, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 seconds.

❐ Lead edge increase/decrease speed: The speed at which the lead edge setting scrolls up or

down can be changed. The time for one increment (or decrement) can be set to 0.02, 0.05, 0.10,

0.25, or 0.5 second.

❐ Auto clear time: If the copier is left alone for a while, it will clear itself. The time needed can be

changed to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 minutes. The function can also be turned off.

❐ Energy saving: The fusing unit needs to be hot for copying. When the copier is idle, the fusing

unit can be kept hot to save time or it can be allowed to cool to save energy. The feature can be

set to start automatically, but you can also turn it on yourself by pressing and holding the Clear

Modes/Stand-by key for three seconds.

❐ Screen message: When the copier is idle, the copy counter can be made to display a message.

There are five possible messages: “Pre_heat”, “Sleeping”, “0123456789”, Have a good day”,

and “Hello I love you”. The feature can also be turned off.

❐ Function step setting: When changing a function setting (margin, multiple copies, or paper

length) by holding down the + or –key, the setting will change by a preset value. This value can

be changed to 1, 2, 3, or 10 units.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

❐ Paper length count up/down, Paper length up/down speed, and Paper size pattern: When

you press the preset length key, the copier scrolls through a selection of preset paper sizes. The

copier can scroll through the preset lengths forward or backward, and at different speeds. There

are many sets of sizes from which to choose. Ask your service representative for details.

❐ Auto off time:You can set the machine waits after the last operation before switching itself off

automatically. The time can be set by minute from 1 to 240 minutes.

OTHERS

If a puzzling or recurring problem occurs, check the following before calling a service representative.

It’s also a good idea to check the Do’s and Don’ts section on page 59 to make sure the paper and

originals match what the copier can handle.

Absolutely nothing happens

❐ Is the main switch on?

❐ Is the cord plugged in?

❐ Did a breaker or a fuse blow out?

Something happens, but Set Paper or RF Select never appear

❐ Check the indicators on the control panel. If any of them are lit, turn to page 51. Check that all

covers and units are closed.

If Jams Occur Frequently

❐ Is your paper creased, damp, or otherwise damaged? See page 10.

❐ Are there visible bits of paper or other objects stuck in the machine? If there are, remove them.

❐ Are you inserting the paper and original in straight? Always feed paper in straight.

If Copies Look Wrong

❐ Are copies too dark or too light? Adjust the density (see page 29).

❐ Is the background dirty no matter what kind of original you are copying? Make sure the

exposure glass and platen are clean (see page 60).

❐ Is the image skewed? Make sure to insert the paper and the original straight into the machine. If

you have the Original and Copy Guides (option), use them.

White spots appear

❐ On the copy: try setting your copy paper with the other side facing up.

❐ At the leading edge: try setting your copy paper sideways.

❐ At the trailing edge: try giving a rising curl to the trailing edge. The curl should go up, not down.

• When the machine will not be used for a long time, unplug the power

cord.

❐ Do not touch areas on or around the fusing unit. These areas get hot.

❐ After making copies continuously, you may feel the exposure glass is heated. But this is not a

malfunction.

❐ You may feel warm around the ventilation hole. This is caused by exhaust air, and not a

malfunction.

❐ Do not turn off the main switch while copying. When turning off the main switch, make sure that

copying is completed.

❐ The machine might fail to produce good copy images if there should occur condensation inside

caused by temperature change.

❐ Do not open the covers of machine while copying. If you do, misfeeds might occur.

❐ Do not move the machine while copying.

❐ Supplier shall not be liable for any loss or damages resulting from a failure on the machine, loss

of machine settings, and use of the machine.

❐ Do not set more than one sheet of paper at a time on the copy paper table.

❐ Center your paper on the copy table using the size marks. Then slide the paper straight into the

copier until it stops.

❐ When copying to a long sheet of paper, lightly hold the sheet as the copier pulls it in so that it goes

in well.

❐ Do not make two sided copies.

❐ If you open the unit make sure you close it within 5 minutes to keep light from damaging the copy

drum.

❐ When copying to sheets 35” × 45” (90 cm ×115 cm) or more, make sure the paper does not drag

directly on the floor as the copier pulls it in. (You can spread some paper on the floor for this.)

❐ If your paper has an uneven or slanted edge, do not insert this edge in first.

❐ Do not make copies longer than 80 inches (2 m).

❐ Do not insert originals made of paper less the 52.3 g/m²(13.9 lb, or 0.07 mm). For such

originals, please use the optional Carrier Sheet.
