continue. After copying is complete, printing will be executed when the clear key is pressed twice, the ONLINE key is pressed to switch the unit to the online state or approximately 60 seconds (auto clear time)* elapse.

*The auto clear time varies with a user program setting. See "USER PROGRAMS" (p.55).

•Preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode will be canceled when printing is started.

•If the paper size specified from the software application is larger than the paper size in the printer, part of the image that is not transferred to the paper may remain on the surface of the drum. In this case, the backside of the paper may become dirty. If this occurs, change to the correct size paper and print two or three pages to clean the image.

•If you start a print job while a scan job is in progress, the print data will be stored in the unit's memory. When the scan job or copy job is completed, printing will begin.
