SAFETY INFORMATION
This copy machine is a digital copy machine which operates by means of a laser. There is no
possibility of danger from the laser, provided the copy machine is operated according to the
instructions in this manual provided.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protective housings, the laser
beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
This copy machine is certified as a Class 1 laser product. This means the copy machine does not
product hazardous laser radiation.

Storage of Copies
If
copies are to be kept for a long time, keep them in places which are not exposed to light to
prevent fading.
If an adhesive containing solvent (e.g., spray glue) is used to paste copies, the toner on the copies
can melt.
The color copies have a toner layer thicker than the normal black-and-white copies. When a color
copy is folded, therefore, the toner at the fold can be separated.
NOTE
This copier is equipped with a counterfeit preventive function that can cause slight noise on the
copy image.
Useful Tip
By activating the "Copy Track Functions" offered by this copier, nobody can use the copier unless
he or she enters an access number thats unique only to his/her account.
It helps prevent dishonest use of the copier.

Select the original image type by pressing the corresponding key to get the best possible result
on your copy.
For example:
Text & Photo is ideally suited to an original which contains texts, photos, and illustrations.
This feature is selected in the initial mode.
Select Photo Image to make a clear copy from a photo printed on photographic paper.
When making a copy from a gravure photo of a magazine, Printed Image is effective in
preventing moire from occurring on the copy.
If you want to make a copy from an original which has a text on a relatively dark colored
background, such as a map, Map is just right for the job reproducing fine letters and lines
clearly. This feature is also effective in reproducing faint pencil-written texts clearly.
To select the original image type, touch Printed Image , Map , etc.
