Auto Paper Mode

In the Auto Paper Mode, the copier automatically selects the correct copypaper size according to the original size and zoom ratio selected for use.

This mode is efficient when you want to automatically make copies on paperof the same size as your originals.

Useful Tip

1136P304CA


This feature is a great advantage when you need to make a large number ofcopies on the same size paper. For example, it is possible to make up to 1,000copies without interruption by using the AF-3 or AFR-7 if the 3rd and 4thDrawers are loaded with paper of the same size and in the same direction.

S1: If S1 is set, that particular Drawer is excluded as a possible candidate S1: in Auto Paper Mode. If, for example, you are using both recycled and plain S1: paper and using mainly the recycled paper, you may set the plain paper for S1: S1. Then, the copier excludes the plain paper when selecting paper size in S1: the Auto Paper Mode.

S2: This setting precludes both Auto Paper Mode and Automatic Drawer S1: Switching.

S3: This setting blocks 2-sided copying.S1: Again it is sensible of you to set the used 1-sided copy paper for the S3 S1: setting.

Original Count Mode

If you have an odd number of originals in 1 2, 1 1[2in1], or 1 2[2in1],some inconvenient situations result in page organization of your outputcopies. The copier provides the Original Count Mode in which it counts thenumber of originals loaded in the AFR-7 to determine whether it needs tomake the odd-page correction.

* Suppose you have an odd number of originals and you want to make 2-in-1copies from them. If you run the copy cycle without letting the copier countthe number of originals, the copier starts the 2-in-1 copy cycle by firstusing the last two originals. This means that you will end up having a blankpage beside page 1 on the last copy. See below.

The Copier Makes NoOdd-Page Correction.

The Copier Makes an Odd-PageCorrection.

▲ ▲ ▲

Select either one of the following three functions to let the copier perform theoriginal count sequence:Auto Count: The copier counts the number of originals loaded onto the AFR-7

to determine whether the number is odd or even. If the number isodd, the copier automatically makes the odd-page correction.

Even: Select this when you already know that you have an even numberof originals. The copier does not make any odd-page correction.

Odd: Select this when you already know that you have an odd number oforiginals. The copier makes the odd-page correction.

The Auto Count Mode is possible only when the copier is equipped with anAFR-7.

Auto Dual Function in the Sort Mode

When 10 (∗ 5) or less copies are made from an original set consisting of morethan 50 (∗ 25) originals in the Sort Mode, the Sorter or Staple Sorter isautomatically switched into the Auto Dual Function Mode using the 11th (∗ 6th)to 20th (∗ 10th) Bins.

51st (∗ 26th) to 100th (∗ 50th) sorted copies 11th (∗ 6th) to 20th (∗ 10th) Bins

* If the number of copies selected exceeds 10 (∗ 5), the new copy cycle stops atthe 50th (∗ 25th) original.

Auto Dual Function

Each of the Sorter Bins holds up to 50 (∗ 25) sheets of paper. However, theAuto Dual Function allows sorting of copies of up to 100 (∗ 50) originalsunder certain conditions.

To have a complete set of copies from the originals.

Place the copies from the 6th Bin on top of those from the Top Bin. In the sameway, place the copies from the 7th Bin on top of those from the 2nd Bin, and soon.

Auto Dual Function in Sort-and-Staple Mode

When 10 (∗ 5) or less copies are made from an original set consisting of morethan 50 (∗ 25) originals in the Sort-and-Staple Mode, and the Auto Dual Functionis activated, the Sort-and-Staple Mode is automatically switched to the Sort Mode(no stapling takes place).

When the Number of Copies Selected to be Made Exceeds 50 (∗ 25) in the Group Mode

When more than 50 (∗ 25) copies are to be grouped together into one group, theSorter or Staple Sorter uses the subsequent Bin to continue grouping the copies.

The copier tends to exhaust the supply oftoner rapidly when making a number ofcopies from an original with dark solid areas.As a result, the image density of the copywill become lighter. In such a case, you canset the copier into the Auxiliary TonerReplenishing Mode.

Even if you continue making copies after the image density has become lighter,the copier will gradually recover the normal image density. The Auxiliary TonerReplenishing Mode can, however, be used to obtain the normal image densitymore quickly.
