Copying Only A Selected Portion Of The Original COPYING Example: copying the middle band of an A2 poster Suppose you are copying an A2 size poster (about 17" x 22") of a sea- shell, as shown on the previous page, and you want to copy only the middle portion of the shell.
Page 17
COPYING Using The Rear Table—Originals That Can’t Be Bent Using The Rear Table—Originals That Can’t Be Bent You can feed originals from the rear of the copier. This way, the original will not turn inside the machine, but will travel straight through. Use the rear table to copy originals that can’t or shouldn’t be bent.
Page 18
Copying To Different Media COPYING Copying To Different Media If you copy to film or vellum (translucent or tracing paper) you need to set the copy media, otherwise the copy might come out creased or wavy. To make a copy, the copier deposits a layer of black resin powder, called toner, on the copy paper.
Page 19
COPYING Programming Settings You Often Use Programming Settings You Often Use There are two ways of programming settings you often use. First, you can link a collection of settings to the Program key ; this way the copier will recall your settings whenever you press that key. Second, you can change the copier’s default settings so that those you want appear every time you turn the copier on or press the Clear Modes key.
Page 20
Programming Settings You Often Use COPYING 4. To retrieve the programmed set- tings, press the Program key be- fore copying. 2–Changing The Copier’s Default Settings You might find that you never use the copier’s default settings, that you always set a lead margin of 10 or 20 mm, or that you always use the roll feeder with a particular length of paper.
COPYING What Your Service Representative Can Change 3. Input the settings you want. 4. Turn off the main switch. The next time you turn the copier on or press the Clear Modes key, the settings you programmed in step 3 will be in effect. What Your Service Representative Can Change Your service representative can adjust some of your copier’s features.

Page 36
If Jams Occur TROUBLESHOOTING If sheet paper is jammed at the paper exit 1. Squeeze the locks on each side of the copier and lift the middle unit between the original table and the copy table. 2. Open the fusing unit cover. CAUTION: The fusing unit can be very hot.
Page 37
TROUBLESHOOTING If Jams Occur If roll paper jams If roll paper jams anywhere in the machine, you still might need to check everywhere to remove the entire length of paper. 1. Open the roll feeder top cover. 2. Slide the blade across. 3.
Page 38
If Jams Occur TROUBLESHOOTING 6. Open the fusing unit cover. CAUTION: The fusing unit can be very hot. Do not touch any parts under the fusing cover. If necessary, wait until the fusing unit has cooled down. 7. Slowly pull the paper out. If there are scraps left inside, open the inner cover, wait for the copier to cool, and remove the scraps.
Page 39
TROUBLESHOOTING Others 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 36 to make sure the paper and originals match what the copier can handle.
Page 40
Others TROUBLESHOOTING 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 fac- ing up.
Page 41
DO’S & DON’TS Copying 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.
Page 42
Others DO’S & DON’TS Paper Keep open reams of paper in the package and store as you would unopened packages. Avoid storing paper in humid areas. When it’s hot and humid, store paper in a vinyl bag. Do not use copy media made of a material other than paper, vellum, or film.
