On/Stand by Switch
A switch located on the exterior of the copier used to control the power to the copier.
Original Cover
On copiers not equipped with a Document Feeder, a Cover protects the Exposure Glass and prevents stray light from entering the
copier during the copy process. Unless copying a 3-dimensional object, the cover should be down.
Original Direction Indicator
This icon instructs the operator which direction to place the document in the Document Feeder or on the Exposure Glass. This is
particularly helpful when different paper sizes are available and when certain features are used such as; when reducing a legal
sheet to letter-size paper, the icon would instruct you to feed the original lengthwise.
A paper carrier designed as part of the base of the copier. It is used to store and feed a stack of paper of one size. Some are
designed to be adjusted but can only accommodate one size at a time.
Throughout the Operator Guide there are references to 20 lb. or 24 lb. paper. This refers to a standard measuring technique. A
certain number of sheets cut to a particular size weighs 20 or 24 pounds. The weight specification usually correlates with the
thickness of the paper. It also generally implies stiffness with the lighter papers being more limber and the heavier papers being
stiffer. Copiers are designed to feed certain weight papers through the Drawers or Cassettes. Heavier stock, such as cover stock,
can be fed through the Bypass Feed Tray.
Power Cord
The cord used to connect the copier to the power receptacle. The plug design is specified depending on the amount of power the
copier requires. Make sure the receptacle is the correct one for your copier.
READY Indicator
This is an indicator that shows when the copier has warmed up and is ready to make copies. It appears in several forms; a light, an
icon, and the message itself.
Release Lever
The lever located inside the Front Cover used to release the Upper Unit for access to the paper path.
