USING THE RSPF
●
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.
●
When using large originals such as B4 and A3 (8-1/2"
x 14" and 11" x 17") sizes, unfold the auxiliary tray.
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.
MAKING COPIES

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.
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.
Stream feeding mode
If the stream feedng mode has been enabled using a
key operator program, the message “
NEWLY PLACED
O R I G I N A L S W I L L B E F E D A N D C O P I E D
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.

setting the stream feeding mode.
