2-SIDED COPYING DOES NOT TAKE PLACE

Check Solution

Are you using a special size or type of paper?

  • For the paper types and sizes that can be used for two-sided copying, read "SPECIFICATIONS" in Start Guide.

Are you copying using settings that do not allow 2-sided copying?

  • 2-Sided Copy can generally be combined with other modes as required, however, some combinations are not possible. If a prohibited combination is selected, a message will appear in the touch panel.

ENLARGE/REDUCE DOES NOT WORK

Check Solution

Are the original, paper, and ratio settings correct?
  • Check if the original size that appears on the screen is correct. After that, check if the correct paper is selected. Tap the [Ratio] key and then tap the [Auto Image] key. The appropriate ratio for the original and paper will appear.

THE IMAGE IS TOO LIGHT OR TOO DARK

Check Solution

Is the image too light?

  • Select an appropriate exposure mode for the original being copied and adjust the exposure level manually.

Is the image too dark?

Has an appropriate exposure mode for the original type been selected?

  • Select one of the following modes depending on the original type.
  • Text

    Use this mode for regular text documents.
  • Text/Prtd. Photo

    This mode provides the best balance for copying an original which contains both text and printed photographs, such as a magazine or catalogue.
  • Photo

    Use this mode to copy photos.

COLOURS ARE OFF

Check Solution

Did you perform "Registration Adjustment"?

  • Ask your administrator to perform "Registration Adjustment".
  • From the operation panel, [System Settings] → [Image Quality Adjustment] →[Registration Adjustment]
  • If the colour tones are off, perform [Auto Calibration] after finishing registration adjustment. (If the colours are still off after calibration, repeating calibration may improve the results.)
  • From the operation panel, [System Settings] → [Image Quality Adjustment] → [Auto Calibration]

PART OF THE IMAGE IS CUT OFF

Check Solution

Has an appropriate ratio been selected for the original size and paper size?

  • Select an appropriate ratio setting.

COPIES COME OUT BLANK

Check Solution

Is the original placed face up or face down correctly?

  • When using the document glass, the original must be placed face down. When using the automatic document feeder, the original must be placed face up.

I WANT TO COPY MULTIPLE A4 PAGES ONTO ONE A4 SHEET OF PAPER
