TURNING ON/OFF THE POWER

This section describes how to turn on/off the machine's power and how to restart the machine.
The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.

Turning on the power

Turn the main power switch to the " " position.

Turning off the power

Turn the main power switch to the " " position.

Restart the machine

Turn the main power switch off and then on.

The main power switch

Turn off the main power switch and unplug the power cord if you suspect a machine failure, if there is a bad thunderstorm
nearby, or when you are moving the machine.

 BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

PLACING ORIGINALS
The automatic document feeder can be used to automatically scan many originals at once, and this saves you the
trouble of manually feeding each original.
For originals that cannot be scanned using the automatic document feeder, such as a book or a document with notes
attached, use the document glass.

USING THE AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

(BP-20M22/BP-21M22/BP-20M24/BP-20M28/BP-20M31)
When using the automatic document feeder, place the originals in the document feeder tray.
Make sure an original has not been placed on the document glass.

Place the originals face up with the edges aligned

evenly.
The indicator line indicates approximately

USING THE DOCUMENT GLASS

Take care that your fingers are not pinched when closing the automatic document feeder.
After placing the original, be sure to close the automatic document feeder. If left open, parts outside of the original will be
copied black, causing excessive use of toner.
