Laser Safety
This product complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1 Subchapter J as a Class I laser product 
under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance 
Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. Also, this 
product is certified as a Class I laser product under IEC60825‑1:1993+A1:1997+A2:2001, 
EN60825‑1:1994+A1:2002+A2:2001. This means that the product does not produce 
hazardous laser radiation.
Since radiation emitted inside the product is completely confined within protective 
housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any 
phase of user operation. Do not remove protective housings or external covers, except as 
directed by this guide. 
The labels shown below are attached to the laser scanner unit inside the machine and next 
to the cartridge, behind the front cover.
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual may result 
in hazardous radiation exposure.

FeederA Feeder Cover
Open this cover to remove jammed originals.
B Slide Guides
Adjust the slide guides to match the width of 
the original.
C Original Supply Tray
Originals placed here are automatically fed 
sheet by sheet to the scanning area of the 
platen glass. Place originals into this tray with 
the surface that you want to scan face up.
D Original Output Area
Originals that have been scanned from the 
original supply tray are output to the original 
output area in the order that they are fed into 
the feeder.
Do not insert your fingers into the gaps around the 
original supply tray, as your fingers may get caught. 
Also, be careful not to drop objects, such as paper 
clips into the gaps, as doing so may cause damage 
to the machine or cause it to break down.
When using the platen glass to copy or scan thick 
originals, such as books or magazines, do not press 
down hard on the feeder.
If the original output area is blocked, originals may 
get damaged, and printing may not be performed 
correctly. Therefore, do not place any objects in the 
original output area.

Main Power and Control Panel Power
The machine is provided with two power switches, a main power switch and a control 
panel power switch.
How to Turn On the Main Power
This section explains how to turn on the main power.
1 Make sure that the power plug 
is firmly inserted into the power 
outlet.
Do not connect or disconnect the power cord 
with wet hands, as this may result in electrical 
shock.
2 Press the main power switch to “I” 
side. 
The main power indicator on the control 
panel lights and the screen below is displayed 
until the machine is ready to scan.
When the machine is ready to scan, the 
screen below is displayed. The example 
shown below is the Copy Basic Features 
screen.
If the main power indicator does not light, 
make sure that the power cord is firmly 
inserted into the power outlet.
If the message  
or  
appears on the touch panel display, enter 
your registered ID and password. (See 
“Department/User ID Management,” on 
p.

If you want to turn the main power off, first turn the control panel pow\
er switch off, and then press the main 
power switch to the “” side.
If you turn off the main power, wait at least 10 seconds before turning the main power back on.
Do not turn the main power off if you want to be able to send or receive fax/I‑fax documents. Sending or 
receiving fax/I‑fax documents cannot be done when the main power is turned off.
If User ID Management is set to [On], the machine will take longer to become ready to scan.
You can set the initial screen (the first screen that appears when the \
machine is turned on) from the 
Additional Functions screen. The initial screen can be the Copy, Send, Scan, or System Monitor screen. (See 
“Common Settings,” on p. 12‑6.)
The machine will enter the Sleep mode if the main power switch is pressed when the machine’s power is on 
and a certain type of optional equipment is connected.

Control Panel Power Switch
To turn the control panel on or off, press the control panel power switch. When turned off, 
the machine is in the Sleep mode.
Control Panel Power SwitchMachine Status
OnStandby mode (ready for immediate copying or printing)
OffSleep mode
The machine can receive and print documents from a personal computer whe\
n it is in the Sleep mode. 
Fax/I‑fax documents can also be received while the machine is in the Sleep mode.
The energy consumption while the machine is in the Sleep mode can be set from the Additional Functions 
screen. (See “Common Settings,” on p. 12‑6.) 
The machine will not enter the Sleep mode if it is scanning or printing.\
If there is less time than specified in Auto Sleep Time remaining before\
 sending a job which has been reserved 
for delayed sending, the machine will not enter the Sleep mode completely.
If there is a job which has been reserved for delayed sending, the machi\
ne will not enter the Sleep mode 
completely.
If you are using a management application to view or manage the settings and status of the machine via the 
network, the machine may not enter the Sleep mode completely.
If you are using the machine as a Windows printer, the machine may not enter the Sleep mode completely if 
SNMP Status is enabled for your operating system (unless your computer \
is turned off). For more information 
on disabling SNMP Status, contact your network administrator.
It takes approximately 10 seconds for the machine to recover after the Sleep mode is deactivated.
If Energy Consumption in Sleep Mode is set to [Low], it may take more than 10 seconds for the touch panel 
display to be displayed after pressing the control panel power switch.
The energy consumption level in the Sleep mode is [High] even when the energy consumption level is set to 
[Low], such as when a job is being processed (including a forwarding job, report job, receive job, or sending a 
forwarding done notice).
