The soft switches are provided so that each operation mode can be set
by using the operation panel.
In this mode, these switches can be checked and set.
The contents of these switches are backed up.
The available soft switches are SW-A1 to SW-K1.
The content of soft switches is shown in page 2-5 to 2-18.
The contents are set to factory default settings.
3. 2. ROM & RAM check
ROM executes the sum check, and RAM executes the matching test.
The result will be notified with the number of short sounds of the buzzer
as well as by printing the ROM & RAM check list.
Number of short sounds of buzzer 0 → No error
3. 3. Aging mode
If any document is first present, copying will be executed sheet by sheet.
If no document is present, the check pattern will be printed sheet by
sheet. This operation will be executed at a rate of one sheet per 5min-
