GETTING STARTED Introduction/Using this manual
INTRODUCTION
TheSF-2052 hasbeendesigned togive high copyquality, productivity, and
reliability.
Amongst its many useful features and functions are the reversing
automatic document feeder (RADF)*, dual page copying, erase, margin
shift, covers and inserts placement, and an internal auditor. This copier can
be equipped with an optional large capacity tray which holds 3,000 sheets
of copy paper. The machine can also be equipped with an optional sorter or
staple sorter to provide finished copy sets ready for distribution.
The SF-2052 was also designed with ease of use in mind. The easy-to-
understand operation panel and INFORMATION function will guide the
user through most operations. However, to gain the maximum benefit of all
the features of the copier, it is recommended that operators first read this
manual to become familiar with all the features of the machine.
* The reversing automatic document feeder is provided as optional
equipment in certain regions.
USING THIS MANUAL
This manual is intended as an operation guide for both general users and
key operators.
For General Users
It is recommended that you read the GETTING STARTED and MAKING
COPIES sections to become familiar with the available features and
functions of the SF-2052. Then refer to the manual as needed to become
thoroughly familiar with those features you will normally use.
For Key Operators
Please read all sections thoroughly to become familiar with all features and
functions of the SF-2052. Throughout the manual, information which is
relevant to key operator functions is noted by “★KEY OPERATOR.” Please
pay close attention to these notes and to the SUPPLIES, COPIER
TROUBLE?, GENERAL INFORMATION, and OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
sections so you can ensure smooth and efficient operation of your
machine.
The KEY OPERATOR’S GUIDE section has been written especially for
you. It contains the programs and programming information that will enable
you to tailor functions for maximum benefit to your company.
AB series (metric) and inch series references
Both specifications are quoted where applicable.
●The inch series specifications are quoted in brackets.
For example:
Page 8 --------------------- A5 to A3 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17")
Page 15, step 2-A -------86%, 81%, 70%, and 50% (95%, 77%, 64%,
and 50%)
●Although AB series size indications are shown in the message display of
this manual, inch series indications are displayed on the inch series
machines.
●In certain regions where the AB series is used, B5 and B5R are standard
sizes, in place of A5.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
To ensure safety and proper machine performance, please note the
following before initial installation and whenever the machine is to be
relocated.
1. The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet
for easy connection.
2. Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that
meets the specified voltage and current requirements.
Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.
●For this copier’s power supply requirements, see the name
plate located on the right hand side, near the rear of the
copier.
3. Do not install the machine where it is:
●damp or humid,
●exposed to direct sunlight,
●extremely dusty,
●poorly ventilated,
●subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes (e.g.,
near an air conditioner or heater).
4. Ensure that the area chosen for the machine location is level.
5. Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for
servicing and proper ventilation.

CAUTIONS
1. Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or
smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.
2. The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area.
3. Installation adjusters.
When moving the machine, be sure to release the instal-
lation adjusters. After moving the machine, turn the
installation adjusters until they reach the floor to lock the
machine in place.

GETTING STARTED
POWER ON AND OFF
The power switch is located on the right side of the copier. When the
power switch is turned to the “ON” position, the message “WARMING
UP. PLEASE WAIT.” will appear in the message display. Warming
up takes about 3 minutes. Once the copier is ready, the message
display will change to “READY TO COPY.”, and the START key
indicator will light up, indicating that copying is possible.
If the copier has been programmed in the auditing mode, the
message “ENTER YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER. -----” will appear
after warming up. Once a valid account number has been entered,
the message will change to “READY TO COPY.” and the START key
indicator will light up.

GETTING STARTED Power on and off
POWER ON AND OFF
Power save modes
The copier has two power save modes – power off timer mode and
preheat mode.
Power off timer mode
The power off timer mode will automatically turn off the power to the
copier after a programmed length of time has elapsed from the time
the power was first turned on.
If the power off timer mode is set, the power will turn off even with
the power switch in the “ON” position. To turn the power back on,
turn the power switch to the “OFF” position, then again to the “ON”
position.
★KEY OPERATOR See page 116 for setting the power off timer.
Preheat mode
If the preheat mode is enabled, the copier will enter the mode once
the set time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last
copy of a run is made or power is turned on.
When the copier enters the preheat mode, the message “PREHEAT
MODE. PLACE ORIGINALS IN THE DOCUMENT FEEDER TRAY
OR PRESS ANY KEY ON THE OPERATION PANEL TO RESTORE
THE COPIER TO “READY TO COPY.”.” will appear.
In this condition, the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat
level thereby saving power. The preheat level is, however, high
enough to allow the copier to come to a ready condition or begin
copying approximately 60 seconds after any key input is made.
To copy from the preheat mode, make desired copier selections
and press the START key using the normal copying procedure.
★KEY OPERATOR Seepage120forinformationonsettingthepreheat
mode.

MAKING COPIES
USING THE RADF
The RADF (Reversing Automatic Document Feeder)
will handle A5 to A3 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17")
sized originals.
●Before loading originals into the document feeder
tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips
fromthem.TheRADFcanhandleamaximumof50
originals.
●Damagedorcrumpledoriginalsmaymisfeedinthe
RADF. It is recommended that these be copied
fromthedocumentglassandthecopiesbeusedas

●When feeding originals which have closely spaced
binding holes punched along an edge, place the
originals so that the punched edge is positioned to
the right or along the side guides.
●Special originals such as transparency film and
tracingpapershould notbefed fromtheRADF, but
should be placed on the document glass.
●Duplex copying will not work when a non-standard
sized paper is used.
●Different size originals with the same width can be
placed in the document feeder tray and automati-
callycopiedontotheirrespectivesizedcopypaper.
The automatic copy ratio selection will not function
in this case.
●If8-1/2" x11"R (A4R) originals are setinto thetray,
they will be sensed to be A4R (8-1/2" x 11"R).
●Image void can occur at the leading edge (max. 3
mm(1/8"))andthetrailingedge(max.4mm(5/32"))
of the copies.

MAKING COPIES
EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENTS
This copier has three exposure modes to choose from:
AUTOMATIC, MANUAL, and PHOTO.
Automatic
This is the standard initial setting for this copier. In this mode, the
characteristics of an original being copied are “read” by the exposure
system, and exposure adjustments are made automatically.
This optimizes contrast of the copied images by reducing the effect
of coloured or shaded background areas.
Manual
This mode is useful in enhancing very low density areas of an
original or in suppressing unusually high-density background areas.
1Use the AUTO/MANUAL/PHOTO key to select
MANUAL.
2Use the LIGHT and DARK keys to adjust the copy
density as desired.
Photo
This mode is useful for copying photographs.
1Use the AUTO/MANUAL/PHOTO key to select PHOTO.
2Use the LIGHT and DARK keys to adjust the copy
density as desired.
