What You Can Do with This Machine
This section introduces the features of this machine.
• For details about options, see “Options”.
• p.34 "Options"
Using This Machine as a Copier
You can make copies of originals.
BLE002S
• You can make copies in full colour. You can switch the colour copy mode depending on the type of
originals used and the desired finish.
• You can adjust the colour tones and image quality of your copies.
• You can reduce or enlarge the copy image. With Auto Reduce/Enlarge, the machine automatically
detects the original size, and then selects an appropriate reproduction ratio based on the paper size
you select. If the orientation in which your original is placed is different from that of the paper you are
copying onto, the machine rotates the original image by 90 degrees and fits it on the copy paper.
• Copier functions such as Duplex and Combine allow you to save on paper by copying multiple pages
onto single sheets.
• You can copy onto various types of paper such as envelopes, and OHP transparencies.
• See Copy Reference .
9

Using This Machine as a Printer/Scanner
You can print documents created in applications. You can also use a TWAIN scanner over the network.
BLE003S
• This machine supports network and local connections.
• With the optional PictBridge card installed, you can connect a PictBridge-compatible digital camera
to this machine using a USB cable. This allows you to print the photographs stored on the camera
using the camera's own interface.
• Client computers can use this machine as a network TWAIN scanner.
• See Printer and Scanner Reference .
Paperless Fax Transmission
You can send a file by fax without printing it.
You can send a fax from your computer over the network (Ethernet) to this machine, which then forwards
the fax via its telephone connection (LAN-Fax).
BLE006S
• You can also check the sent image data.
10

• For details about the machine's settings, see “Network Settings Required to Use the Printer/LAN-Fax”,
Network and System Settings Guide .
• For details about how to use the function, see “Fax via Computer”, Facsimile Reference .
Administrating the Machine (Security Functions)
You can prevent information leakage by managing the machine.
BLE009S
• You can control the use of the machine, as well as prevent machine settings from being changed
without authorization.
• By setting passwords, you can prevent unauthorized access via the network.
• See Security Reference .
Monitoring the Machine Via Computer
You can change the machine's settings and monitor its status from a connected computer.
BLE010S
11

• Web Image Monitor lets you configure and operate the machine using a Web browser on a computer.
You can also install SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin on a computer to configure and operate the
machine.
• Using Web Image Monitor, you can register information in the address book, specify the machine's
settings, and check the machine's status with ease.
• Using Web Image Monitor, you can check and specify the initial settings (system settings, printer
features, network settings, and security settings/certificate management), control print jobs, and
display the print job journal.
• You can also use SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin to register information in the address book.
Preventing an Unauthorized Copy
You can print embedded pattern on paper to prevent them from being copied.
BLE001S
• Using the printer driver, you can embed a pattern in the printed document. If the document is copied
on a machine with the Copy Data Security Unit (optional), protected pages are grayed out in the
copy, preventing confidential information from being copied. Protected fax messages are grayed out
before being transmitted or stored. If a document protected by unauthorized copy guard is copied
on a machine that is equipped with the Copy Data Security Unit, the machine beeps to notify users
that unauthorized copying is being attempted.
If the document is copied on a machine without the Copy Data Security Unit, the hidden text becomes
conspicuous in the copy, showing that the copy is unauthorized.
• Using the printer driver, you can embed text in the printed document for unauthorized copy prevention.
If the document is copied, or scanned by a copier or multifunction printer, the embedded text appears
conspicuous in the copy, discouraging such unauthorized copying.
• See the printer driver Help, Facsimile Reference , Printer and Scanner Reference , and Security
Reference .

• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might occur.
• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good
ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.
16

Handling power cords and power plugs
This section explains safety precautions about handling power cords and power plugs.
• Connect this machine only to a power source that matches the specifications shown in
“Specifications for the Main Unit” in this manual and do not use an extension cord.
• Use of this machine with extension cords and power sources other than those that match the
specifications shown constitutes an electric shock and fire hazard.
• Power cords that are damaged, broken, modified, trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or
bent severely are electric shock and fire hazards.
• Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the power cable or plug becomes
frayed or otherwise damaged.
• If the power cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.), contact your service
representative to change a new one. Operating the machine with a damaged power cord may
cause an electric shock or fire.
• It is dangerous to handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this may result in receiving an electric
shock.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the
machine, you should take care that the power cord will not be damaged under the machine.
• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable).
• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by plug. Do not drag the cord itself. Doing so may result
in damage to the cord, leading to fire or electric shock.
• For safety reason, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the machine will not be used for
an extended period of time such as holidays.
Handling the main machine
This section explains safety precautions about handling the main machine.
17

• Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if any of the
following occurs:
• You spill something into the machine.
• You suspect that your machine needs service or repair.
• The external housing of your machine has been damaged.
• Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the
machine, you should take care that the power cord will not be damaged under the machine.
• If you have to move the machine when the optional paper tray unit is attached, do not push on the
main unit's top section. Doing so can cause the optional paper tray unit to detach, possibly resulting
in injury.
• After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Otherwise the machine might
move or come down to cause an injury.
• Contact your service representative if you need to lift the machine (such as when relocating it to
another floor). Do not attempt to lift the machine without the assistance of your service
representative. The machine will be damaged if it topples or is dropped, resulting in malfunction
and risk of injury to users. The machine's various handling areas are for service engineer use only.
Do not touch these areas.
• Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside the machine.
• Do not look into the lamp. It can damage your eyes.
• For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the machine or expended supply waste at household
waste collection points. Disposal can take place at an authorized dealer.
