What the iR2000/1600 Series Machine Can Do
What the iR2000/1600 Series Machine Can
Do
■Flexible document handling
To make a copy of an original, you have the choice of setting the document in the optional
Feeder (ADF-J1) when attached, or placing it directly onto the platen glass. The Feeder is useful
when copying a multi-page document, and the platen glass is ideal when copying a single-page
document, or from a book.
■Copy reduction/enlargement
You can manually select a reduction / enlargement ratio from 50% to 200%. You can also set
the unit to select an appropriate ratio to fit the paper size you are copying onto.
■Automatic and manual exposure/image quality adjustment
The machine can automatically set the most appropriate image quality settings, including the
exposure, for the document you are copying. You can also manually adjust them to get the best
output quality.
■Various finishing function
With the optional Finisher-L1 or Inner 2-Way tray attached, you can select various finishing
modes to collate the copies by copy sets.
■Frame erase copy
This feature allows you to erase unwanted shadows, borders, and binding marks from around
an original. When copying directly from a book, you can also erase the center line and edges on
the copy. To make a copy from a book, use the platen glass.
■Binding margin copy
This feature allows you to create a margin on the top, bottom, left, or right of the document for
use when binding the document together. This is convenient if you later want to staple or insert
binding holes.
■Two-page separation
Double spread pages in magazines or books can be copied onto separate sheets of paper in
one operation. This feature works only when the document is copied from the platen glass.
■2 on 1 combination
You can copy two pages of a document onto a single page.
■Energy saver mode
This machine incorporates an energy saver feature to conserve power. In energy saver mode,
the display and the operation panel lamps go out automatically when the unit remains idle for a
specified period of time.

horizontally when printing with Preset Zoom mode, such as when processing A4 →A3 .
•Horizontally placed A4, B5 and A5-size originals are referred to as A4 , B5 and A5 .
•A3 and B4-size originals must be placed horizontally.
•For instructions on placing the original, see the Reference Guide.
●If the message <ENTER DAC> is displayed
▼Enter the Department ID and Password. (See the Reference Guide.)

1-12 Adjusting Exposure and Image Quality
Selecting Image Quality
You can adjust image quality to the level best suited to the quality of text or photo originals. The
following three modes are available for adjusting image quality:
■Text Mode
This mode is best suited for making copies from text originals. Blueprints or penciled originals
can be copied clearly.
■Text/Photo Mode
This mode is best suited for making copies from originals containing both text and photos.
■Photo Mode
This mode is best suited for making copies from photos printed on photographic paper, or photo
originals containing halftones (i.e., printed photos).
IMPORTANT
•Combinations of these three modes (Text mode, Text/Photo mode and Photo mode) cannot be set. If you select one of
these modes, the previously set mode is canceled.
•If you make copies of an original containing halftones, such as a printed photograph using the Photo mode, then moire
may occur. If this happens, you can soften the moire effect by adjusting the Sharpness level. (See “Setting the
Sharpness,” on p. 3-10.)
NOTE
•The default setting is <TEXT>.
•When you select the Text, Text/Photo, or Photo mode, the exposure can be adjusted only by the Manual Exposure
Control. Automatic Exposure Control cannot be selected.
•If the original is a transparency, select the Text, Text/Photo, or Photo mode and adjust the exposure to the most
appropriate level.
