USING THE RSPF

The RSPF (reversing single pass feeder) will handle multiple originals.

Before loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from them.

Damaged or crumpled originals or originals which have been folded may misfeed in the RSPF or cause incorrect size detection. It is recommended that these be copied from the document glass and the copies be used as original documents.

When feeding originals which have closely spaced binding holes punched along an edge, place the originals so that the punched edge is positioned to the right or along the side guides.

Special originals such as transparency film and tracing paper should not be fed from the RSPF, but should be placed on the document glass.

Duplex copying will not work when a non-standard sized paper (or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" paper) is used.

If the orientation of the originals does not match that of the copy paper when both the originals and copy paper are of standard sizes and the auto paper select mode or automatic copy ratio select mode is on, the image of the originals will be automatically rotated to match the copy paper. If enlargement copying onto a paper size larger than A4 (8-1/2" x 11") is performed and in case of 100% copying onto a paper size larger than B4 (8-1/2" x 14"), however, the image will not be rotated.

Image loss (max. 5mm (13/64")) can occur along the leading and trailing edges of the copies. Also image loss (max. 5mm (13/64") in total) can occur along the other edges of the copies.

The RSPF can handle a maximum of 50 originals in A4 (8-1/2" x 11") paper size.

1-sided to 2-sided, 2-sided to 1-sided, and 2-sided to 2-sided copying can be performed.

The originals must be set face up in the document feeder tray.

Different size originals with the same width can be placed in the document feeder tray and automatically copied onto copy paper of their respective sizes.

The automatic copy ratio selection will not function in this case. Also, some special functions might not be properly activated.

Whenusing large originals such as B4 and A3 (8-1/2" x 14" and 11" x 17") sizes, unfold the auxiliary tray.

Stream feeding mode

If the stream feedng mode has been enabled using a key operator program, the message “NEWLY PLACED

ORIGINALS WILL BE FED AND COPIED AUTOMATICALLY.” will appear for approximately 5 seconds after feeding of all originals is completed. While this message is displayed, any new originals placed in the document feeder tray will be fed and copied automatically.

KEY OPERATOR See page 8-19 for information on setting the stream feeding mode.

CHAPTER2 MAKING COPIES Using the RSPF

NOTE:

The original image positions on the copies are different concerning the leading edge position between copying from the RSPF and copying from the document glass. In some cases, the desired copy cannot be obtained from the normal orientation of the originals. The image position can be changed by rotating the original. When the optional staple sort mode is used, however, the stapling position may not be proper.

1.Different image positions on the copy Same-size copying onto a larger size copy is performed.

Example) Same-size copying from A4 (8-1/2" x 11") original onto A3 (11" x 17") paper

2.Different copy image ranges

Enlargement copying is performed onto copy paper of the same size as the original and part of image is out of the copy.

Example) Enlargement copying onto copy paper of the same size as the original
