Copy Mode
The default setting for the DP-C106 is the printer mode.  To make a copy you
must change the Copier/Printer to the copier mode.
When the DP-C106 Copier/Printer is in the printer mode, a message displays
in the Copier Screen that says
To Enter Copy Mode Press Copy Button
This message is referring to the Copy button on the Copier Control Panel.
After you press the Copy button, one of the following occurs:
• The Ready to Copy message appears on the Copier Control Panel
indicating that you have successfully entered copy mode.  The copier is
ready to begin processing jobs.
•  If the User Password option is enabled, the Copier Control Panel
prompts you to enter your user password.
Enter your password using the Numeric Keypad.  If you enter the wrong
number, press the Clear button.
If your password is correct, the Ready to Copy message automatically
appears on the Copier Screen.  This indicates that you have
successfully entered copy mode.  The copier is ready to begin
processing jobs.
If you entered an incorrect password, the Incorrect Password message
appears and the copier prompts you to enter your password again.
For information on Setting Up or Changing the User Password, see the
Tools Mode.
Using the Auto Mode Change feature enables the DP-C106 Copier/Printer to
automatically enter the copy mode when originals are loaded in the ADF.
For more information on the Auto Mode Change feature, go to the Tools
Mode.

Auto Start
While the Please Wait message appears on the Copier Screen, you cannot
start copy operations.  You may, however, program your copy job.  Once the
Copier/Printer has successfully entered copy mode, your copy job will
automatically begin to print.
While the Please Wait message is displayed, position your originals, select
the desired options and press the Start button.  The Copier/Printer continues
to show the Please Wait message until it enters the copy mode.
Once the DP-C106 enters the copy mode, the copy job begins to print.
If you wish to cancel the copy job before it begins, press the Stop button.
The Copier Main Screen
Once the DP-C106 enters the copy mode, the Copier Screen displays the
Main Screen.  The message Ready to Copy appears on the Main Screen.
The Main Screen also displays the copy quantity and the settings for the
following features:
• Reduce/Enlarge
• Paper Supply
• Color Mode
When you first enter copy mode, each of these features is programmed at the
factory default setting.  Should you make any changes to these settings, the
Main Screen will reflect these changes.
For information on the Reduce/Enlarge feature, the Paper Supply feature
and the Color Mode feature, go to the Copy Features.  For information on
changing the default settings for each of these features, go to the Tools
Mode.
To view any changes made to the other features available through the DP-
C106 Copier/Printer, access the corresponding feature screen.  For
information on the available features and for directions on accessing feature
screens, go to the Copy Features screen.

Positioning the Originals
There are two ways to position originals on the DP-C106: on the Document
Glass or in the ADF.
The Document Glass
Perform the following steps to use the Document Glass:
1.  Raise the ADF.
2.  Align the original into the rear, left-hand corner of the Document Glass
face down.  Place your original in the same orientation that the paper is
loaded in your selected Paper Tray.
For transparency sheets, tracing paper or other types of thin paper, place a
blank, white sheet over the original on the Document Glass.
For information on the Paper Supply  button, see Chapter 3, “Copy
Features”.  For information on loading paper into a Paper Tray, see Setting
Up the DP-C106 in Installation Instructions.
  
3.  Close the ADF.
CAUTION
When copying a thick document, do not force the ADF down.  The Document
Glass may break if under too much pressure.
WARNING
If you must perform a copy operation with the ADF open, do not look at the
scanner light.
The maximum original size that the Document Glass can scan is 11 inch x 17
inch or A3 (297 mm x 420 mm).
If you should try to register an original document larger than the maximum
size on the ADF, the image will be cut off on your copy output.

The DP-C106 detects original sizes in either inches or millimeters. The table
below lists the various paper sizes that the DP-C106 can automatically detect
when configured to inches and to millimeters.
For information on changing the copier configuration between inches and
millimeters, go to the Tools Mode.
LEF = Long Edge Feed;  SEF = Short Edge Feed

11 x 17 in. (SEF) B4 (LEF)
A3 (SEF)
A5 (LEF, EU only)
You must manually select the Paper Supply for documents that do not fall
within the sizes listed in the table and for documents that are difficult to detect,
such as transparencies and tracing paper. If the copier cannot detect the size
of your original, an error message appears on the Copier Screen.  The error
message appears each time you attempt to copy the original until you
manually select the appropriate Paper Supply.
For directions on using the Paper Supply button, go to the Copy Features.

The Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)
The ADF allows you to load up to 30 originals into the DP-C106 for continuous
scanning.  Each original is scanned individually, beginning with the bottom sheet.
To use the ADF perform the following steps:
1.  Raise the document handler to the right.
2.  Place the originals into the ADF face up and in the same orientation as
the paper in the Paper Tray.

3.  Gently push the originals into the ADF, as shown below, until the ADF
Light illuminates.
To prevent paper jams, ensure that the original documents rest against the
rear edge of the ADF. Make sure that the ADF Light illuminates.
  
4.  Adjust the Document Guide to gently touch the edges of the originals, as
shown below.
Pushing the Document Guide too tightly against the originals may cause a
ADF jam.
