Operator Safety:
This machine is considered a CDRH Class I laser device, safe for office/EDP use. The machine con-tains a 5-milliwat, 760 800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diode. Direct (or indirect reflected)eye contact with the laser beam may cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock
mechanism have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
Laser Safety:
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based optical unitin the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisiteequipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laserchassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassisand laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement or the optical subsystem is re-quired.
Warning:
Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manualmight result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Notes:
The model names of the machines do not appear in the following pages. Check the type of your ma-chine before reading this manual. (For details, see P.4 Machine Types.)
Type 1: Aficio 220
Type 2: Aficio 270
Certain types might not be available in some countries. For details, please contact your local dealer.
Two kinds of size notation are employed in this manual. With this machine refer to the inch version.

the Paper Size in Tray 2.*6 Always set one sheet at a time. See P.41 Copying from the Bypass Tray.
Important
If you use damp or curled paper, a misfeed might occur. In such a case, tryturning over the paper stack in the paper tray. If there is no improvement,change to copy paper with less curl.
Note
When you use the bypass tray, it is recommended to set the copy paper direc-tion toL.
When you use the color paper, set it in the tray 2. Do not stack the paper abovethe lower limit mark of the tray 2.
Postcards should be fed from the bypass tray. If you load paper of the same size and in the same direction in two or more
trays, the machine automatically shifts to another tray when the tray in useruns out of paper. This function is called Auto Tray Switch. (If you put recy-cled paper in paper trays using the Special Paper Indicate menu, this functionis not available with these trays unless their settings are identical.) This savesinterrupting a copy run to replenish paper even when you make a large num-
ber of copies. You can cancel this setting. See 13. Auto Tray Switch and 14.Special Pap. Indict of the System Settings.

-Rotate CopyIf the direction in which your originalis set (landscape or portrait) is differ-ent from the paper you are copyingonto, this function rotates the originalimage by 90 and fits it on the copypaper. This function works whenAuto Paper Select or Auto Reduce/Enlarge are selected. See Auto PaperSelect in P.31 Selecting Copy Pa-
per and P.33 Auto Reduce/En-largeHaving the Machine Choose the
Reproduction Ratios.
Limitation
You cannot use the Rotated Copyfunction when enlarging ontoB4JIS or A3 size paper. In this case,set your original in the landscapedirection.
You cannot use the Rotated Copyfunction when Staple function isselected. See P.38 Staple.
Auto Reduce/EnlargeHaving
the Machine Choose theReproduction Ratios
The machine can choose an appropri-ate reproduction ratio based on thepaper and original sizes you select.
Limitation
You cannot use the bypass tray
