Understanding the copy screens and options

Copy from

This option opens a screen where you can enter the size of the documents you are going to copy. Touch a paper size button to select it as the “Copy from” setting. The copy screen appears with your new setting displayed.

Copy to

This option opens a screen where you can enter the size and type of paper on which your copies will be printed.

Scale

This option creates an image from your copy that is proportionally scaled anywhere between 25% and 400%. Scale can also be set for you automatically.

Darkness

This option adjusts how light or dark your copies will turn out in relation to the original document.

Content

This option tells the printer the original document type. Choose from Text, Text/Photo, Photograph, or Printed Image.

Sides (Duplex)

Use this option to select duplex settings. You can print copies on one or two sides, make two-sided copies (duplex) of two-sided original documents, make two-sided copies from one-sided original documents, or make one-sided copies (simplex) from two-sided original documents.

Collate

This option keeps the pages of a print job stacked in sequence when printing multiple copies of the document. The factory default setting for Collate is on; the output pages of your copies will be ordered (1,2,3) (1,2,3) (1,2,3). If you want all the copies of each page to remain together, turn Collate off, and your copies will be ordered (1,1,1) (2,2,2) (3,3,3).

Options

Touching the Options button opens a screen where you can change Paper Saver, Create Booklet, Advanced Imaging, Custom Job, Separator Sheets, Margin Shift, Edge Erase, Header/Footer, Overlay, Advanced Duplex, and Save as Shortcut settings.

Paper Saver

This option lets you print two or more sheets of an original document together on the same page. Paper Saver is also called N-up printing. The N stands for Number. For example, 2-up would print two pages of your document on a single page, and 4-up would print four pages of your document on a single page. Touching Print Page Borders adds or removes the outline border surrounding the original document pages on the output page.

Create Booklet

This option creates a stack of collated pages that, when folded, forms a booklet half the page size of the original document and with all the pages in order.

Note: To use Create Booklet, you must have a duplex unit attached to the printer.

Advanced Imaging

This option lets you adjust Background Removal, Color Dropout, Contrast, Mirror Image, Negative Image, Shadow Detail, Scan Edge to Edge, and sharpness before you copy the document.

Custom Job

This option combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job.

Separator Sheets

This option places a blank piece of paper between copies, pages, and print jobs. The separator sheets can be drawn from a tray that contains a type or color of paper that is different from the paper your copies are printed on.

Margin Shift

This option increases the size of the margin a specified distance. This can be useful in providing space to bind or hole-punch copies. Use the increase or decrease arrows to set how much of a margin you want. If the additional margin is too large, then the copy will be cropped.

Edge Erase

This option eliminates smudges or information around the edges of your document. You can choose to eliminate an equal area around all four sides of the paper, or pick a particular edge. Edge Erase erases whatever is within the selected area, leaving nothing printed on that portion of the paper.

Header/Footer

This option turns on the Date/Time, Page number, Bates number, or Custom text and prints them in the specified header or footer location.

Overlay

This option creates a watermark (or message) that overlays the content of your copy. You can choose between Urgent, Confidential, Copy, and Draft, or you can enter a custom message in the ”Enter custom text” field. The word you pick will appear, faintly, in large print across each page.

Note: A custom overlay can also be created by your system support person. When a custom overlay is created, a button with an icon of that overlay will be available.

Advanced Duplex

This option controls whether the documents are one-sided or two-sided, what orientation your original documents have, and how your documents are bound.

Note: Some Advanced Duplex options may not be available on all printer models.

Save as Shortcut

This option allows the current settings to be saved as a shortcut.
