be transmitted.
• Ink, glue, and correcting fluid on documents must be dry before the
documents can be transmitted.
• All clips, staples and pins must be removed from documents before
transmission.
• Patched (taped) documents should be copied first on a copier and
then the copies used for transmission.
• All documents should be fanned before insertion into the feeder to
prevent possible double feeds.
5. Automatic Document Feeder Capacity
Number of pages that can be placed into the feeder at anytime is as
follows:
Normal size: max. 20 sheets
Special size: single sheet only (manual feed)
NOTES: •If you need to send or copy more 20 pages, place the ad-
ditional pages and carefully in the feeder just before the
last page is scanned. Do not try to force them in, as this
may cause double-feeding or jamming.
•If your document consists of several large or thick pages
which must be loaded one at a time, insert each page into
the feeder as the previous page is being scanned. Insert
gently to prevent doublefeeding.
6. Readable Width & Length
The readable width and length of a document are slightly smaller than
the actual document size.

Insert the stack of paper firmly into the tray, print side up.
• Make sure that the stack is not higher than the marked line.
Loading too much paper may cause paper jams and misfeeds.
• If paper remains in the tray, take it out and combine it into a
single stack with the new paper before adding the new paper.
Important:
Be sure to load the paper so that printing takes place on th
e
print side of the paper. Printing on the reverse side may result in
poor print quality.
5
Make sure the stack of paper is aligned against the right pape
r
quide, and then gently move the left paper guide to the 8 1/2 posi-
tion for letter or legal paper, or the A4 position for A4 paper.
6
Push the paper release lever back down.
• Note: If the paper does not feed correctly, remove the entir
e
stack from the tray and repeat the loading procedure from the
beginning.

[5] Maintenance
1. Scanning glass and rollers.
Clean the scanning glass and rollers frequently to ensure that you
r
transmitted images and copies are of the highest quality.
Open the operation panel (grasp the panel release and up), and
wipe the scanning glass, rollers and white backplate with a soft
cloth.
•Make sure that all dirt and stains (such as correcting fluid) ar
e
removed, as dirts and stains will cause vertical lines on transmitted
images and copies.
2. The housing.
Wipe the external parts and surface of the machine with a dry cloth.
• Caution!
Do not use benzene or thinner. These solvents may damage o
r
discolor machine.
3. Cleaning the drum cartridge.
If you find that characters or parts of an image are missing from you
r
printed pages, the drum in the drum cartridge may need ceaning.
Follow the steps below to clean the drum.
1
Grasp the print compartment cover at both sides as shown, and
pull up to open the cover.
• Caution!
The fusing unit inside the print compartment becomes very hot during
operation. Do not touch the inside of the compartment or the pape
r
guide on the underside of the print compartment cover.

remove any particles of toner caked on the drum.
•Do not let the drum surface come into contact with anything other
than the rolled-up paper. Fingerprints, water, alcohol, and othe
r
solvents will damage the drum surface.
•Do not touch the drum surface with the edges of the rolled-up
paper.
