are unable to solve the problem by checking the list, turn off the power switch, and unplug the power cord.
Problems related to the copy function are described below. For problems related to general use of the machine, see
page 2-23.
Problem Check Solution
Machine does not
operate. Is the [START] key indicator off? This indicates that the machine is warming
up (warming up lasts no more than 80
seconds after the power switch is turned on).
Copying is not possible during this time.
Wait until the [START] key light illuminates.
Copies are too dark
or too light. Is the original image too dark or too light? Select an appropriate exposure mode for
the original being copied and adjust the copy
exposure. (See page 4-14.)
Is the exposure mode set to "AUTO"? The exposure level for "AUTO" can be
adjusted using the "Exposure adjustment"
key operator program. Contact your key
operator. (See page 14 of the key operator's
guide.)
An appropriate exposure mode for the
original has not been selected. Change the exposure mode to "AUTO" or
manually select an appropriate resolution

Is the copy ratio proper for the original and

original face down.
When using the automatic document feeder,
