							7 MAIN FEATURES
High-speed laser copying
First-copy time*1 is only 8.0*2 seconds.
Copying speed is 20 copies per minute. This is ideal for business use and provides a 
big boost to workplace productivity.
*1The first-copy time is measured after the power save indicator turns off following 
power on, using the document glass with the polygon rotating in the copy ready state 
and LSU SETTING set to ON in the user programs (A4 (8-1/2 x 11), paper fed 
from paper tray).
*2When user program 24 is set to OFF.
High-quality digital image
 High-quality copying at 600 dpi is performed.
 In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, two original modes can be selected: 
TEXT for text-only originals, and PHOTO for photographs. The exposure can be 
adjusted to five levels in each mode.
 The photo mode copying function allows clear copying of delicate halftone original 
images such as monochrome photos and colour photos.
Enhanced copying features
 Zoom copies can be made from 25% to 400% in increments of 1%. (When the 
RSPF is being used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)
 Continuous copying of up to 99 copies is possible.
 Sets of output can be offset from each other for easy separation (offset function).
 Sorting by sets is possible without the need for a sorter or other special device 
(Sort copy).
 Includes convenient features such as margin shift, 2 IN 1 copy, and automatic two-
sided copying.
Scan once/Print many
 The machine is equipped with a memory buffer allowing the machine to scan an 
original once and make up to 99 copies of the scanned image. This improves 
workflow, reduces operating noise from the machine and reduces wear and tear on 
the scanning mechanism, which provides for a higher reliability.
