GETTING STARTED Introduction/Using this manual
INTRODUCTION
The SF-2540 has been designed to give high productivity while offering
convenient features.
Amongst its many useful features and functions are dual page copying,
erase, margin shift, and an internal auditor. This copier can be equipped
with an optional reversing automatic document feeder (RADF) and an
optional paper drawer 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-2540 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 users first read this
manual to become familiar with all the features of the copier.
USINGTHIS MANUAL
This manual is intended as an operation guide for both general users and
key operators.
For General Users

GETTING STARTED Installation requirements/Cautions
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 at the rear bottom corner
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 are provided on the optional stand/3000-
sheet paper drawer or stand/500-sheet paper drawer.
When moving the machine with the optional stand/3000-sheet
paper drawer or stand/500-sheet paper drawer, be sure to raise
the installation adjusters. After moving the machine, lower the
installation adjusters until they reach the floor to lock the
machine in place.

GETTING STARTED Power on and off
POWER ON AND OFF
The power switch is located on the left 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 100 seconds. 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.
Power save modes
The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power
consumptionandtherebyreducethecostofoperationandtoconserve
natural resources to help reduce environmental pollution. The two
power save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.
★KEY OPERATOR
The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have
been preset at the factory to 15 min. for preheat mode and 60 min. for
auto power shut-off mode. These times can be changed as described in
the key operator’s guide section. It is suggested that you set
appropriate times according to the actual usage of the copier.
Power on
Power off
Auto power shut-off mode
If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will automatically
turn off the power once a programmed length of time has elapsed without
anycopieroperation after thelast copy ofarun ismadeor the poweris first
turned on. The power switch will automatically be turned to the “OFF”
position.
To turn the power back on, simply turn the power switch to the “ON”
position.
★KEY OPERATOR See page 87 for setting the auto power shut-off timer. See
page 96 for enabling or disabling the auto power shut-off mode.
Preheat mode
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. 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 30
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 See page 91 for information on setting the preheat mode.

MAKING COPIES
MARGIN SHIFT
The MARGIN SHIFT feature, in its initial setting, automatically shifts
the text or image to the right on one-sided copies. If two-sided
copying is made possible by using an optional duplex module, the
image is shifted to the right on the front side of copies and to the left
on the second side. Shift direction can be changed in the manner
described below in steps 3 through 5.
●The standard shift amount setting is 9 mm (1/4"), but can be
changed to 0 mm, 3 mm, 6 mm, 12 mm, or 15 mm (0", 1/8", 3/8",
1/2", or 5/8") as desired.
★KEY OPERATOR The initial shift setting can be changed to 0 mm,
3 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm, or 15 mm (0", 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", or
5/8"). See page 89. Shift direction change can be disabled. See page
