Replacing toner
When a toner replacement message appears on the MX-5050N/5070N/6050N/6070N, you can replace toner even while
printing is in progress. Always open the toner cover to replace toner.

Do not open the bottom cover by mistake. This will cause printing to stop and may result in a misfeed.

abnormal noises, degraded image quality or other problems may result.
• Turn off both the [Power] button and 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.

• When using the fax or Internet fax function, always keep the main power switch in the " " position.
• In order for some settings to take effect, the machine must be restarted. In some states of the machine, restarting with the
[Power] button may not make the settings take effect. In this case, turn off the main power switch and then turn it on again.

MOTION SENSOR
(MX-3070N/3570N/4070N/5070N/6070N only)

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

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
Adjust the original guides to how many originals can be placed. The placed
the width of the originals. originals must not be higher than this line.

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.

Place the original face down.

Align the top left corner of the
original with the tip of the
mark in the far left corner of the
glass.

Place the original

face down.

Set the orientation of the image to ensure that the orientation of the placed original is correctly recognized.
