  7. Tap the plus (+) button repeatedly to specify the number of copies (max. 20 copies).

  • To make 1 to 9 copies or 20 copies

  2. The Paper lamp indicates the selected page size and media type.

  • A4 or 8.5" x 11" Plain Paper

 You can switch the size of paper loaded in the Rear Tray between A4 and 8.5" x 11" (Letter) regardless of the size indicated on the Operation Panel.

 When the Fit-to-Page copy function is enabled, you can copy the original in the size automatically enlarged or reduced to fit the selected page size. In this case, the original is copied with borders on the plain paper and without borders on the photopaper. Cancel the Fit-to-Page copy function to copy the original in the same size.

  1. Select Color for color copies, or Black for black & white copies.

  2. While copying is in progress, the number on the LED flashes and decreases by one to indicate the number of copies to be made.

  3. Remove the original on the Platen Glass after copying is completed.
     

 The paper-out error will occur (E, 0, 2 will appear on the LED) when all of the loaded paper runs out.

  • You can set the print quality to Fast (speed priority) only when A4 or Letter-sized plain paper is selected for the page size and media type.

  • You cannot intensify (darken) the colors on the printed image by way of the operation panel of the machine.

Do not open the document cover or move the loaded original until copying is completed.

To cancel copying, press the Stop/Reset button.

You can set the print quality to fast (speed priority) only when A4 or Letter-sized plain paper is selected for the page size and media type.
