This is ideal for business use and provides a big boost to workplace productivity. *1 The copy time in the case when the power is turned on and copying using the document glass is started immediately after the power save indicator goes off (8-1/2" x 11", paper fed from paper tray). The first-copy time may vary depending on machine operating conditions and ambient conditions such as temperature. *2 "dpi" ("dots per inch") is unit that is used to measure resolution. Resolution indicates how much detail can be reproduced in a printed or scanned image.
High-quality digital image
· High-quality copying at 600 dpi is performed. · In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, two original modes can be selected: "TEXT" for text-only originals, and "PHOTO" for photographs. The exposure can be adjusted to five levels in each mode. · The photo mode copying function allows clear copying of delicate halftone original images such as monochrome photos and color photos.
Enhanced copying features
· Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in increments of 1%. (When the RSPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.) · Continuous copying of up to 99 copies is possible. · Sets of output can be offset from each other for easy separation (offset function). · Sorting by sets is possible without the need for a sorter or other special device (Sort copy). · Includes convenient features such as margin shift, 2 IN 1 copy, and automatic twosided copying.

Fan the paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure that the edges go under the corner hooks.
Note
· Do not load paper above the maximum height line ( ). Exceeding the line will cause a paper misfeed. · If the paper is not fanned, double-feeds or misfeeds may occur. · Make sure the stack of paper is straight before loading it. When adding paper, take the remaining paper out and combine it into a single stack with the new paper. · Make sure that all the paper in the stack is the same size and type. · When loading paper, ensure that there is no space between the paper and the guide, and make sure that the guide is not set too narrow and causes the paper to bend. Incorrect loading will cause the paper to skew or misfeed.
