Creating a custom job (job build)
The custom job or job build is used to combine one or more sets of original documents into a single copy job. Each set may 
be scanned using different job parameters. When a copy job is submitted and Custom Job is enabled, the scanner will 
scan the first set of original documents using the supplied parameters, then scan the next set with the same or different 
parameters.
The definition of a set depends on the Scan Source:
•From the flatbed, a set consists of one page.
•From the ADF, a set consists of all scanned pages until the ADF becomes empty.
•When one page is sent through the ADF, a set consists of one page.
For example:
1Place your original document in the automatic document feeder face-up, short-edge first.
2Adjust the paper guides.
3Touch Copy on the home screen.
4Touch Options.
5Touch Custom Job.
6Touch On.

Copy tips
The following tips may improve the MFP copy quality. For additional information or to solve copy problems, see Solving 
copy quality problems.
QuestionTip
When should I use Text mode?  • Text mode should be used when text preservation is the main goal of the copy, and 
preserving images copied from the original document is not a concern.
• Text is best used for receipts, carbon copy forms, and documents that only contain 
text or fine line art.
When should I use Text/Photo 
mode?• Text/Photo mode should be used when copying an original document that contains 
a mixture of text and graphics.
• Text/Photo is best used for magazine articles, business graphics, and brochures.
When should I use 
Printed Image mode?Printed Image mode should be used when copying halftone photographs, graphics 
such as documents printed on a laser printer, or pages from a magazine or 
newspaper.
When should I use Photograph 
mode?Photograph mode should be used when the original document is a high-quality 
photograph or inkjet print.

Understanding e-mail options
Original Size: Opens a screen where you can enter the size of the documents you are going to e-mail.
•Touching any of the paper size icons on the follow-on screen will make that your selection and return you to the 
e-mail Options screen.
•When Original Size is set to Mixed Sizes, you can scan different size original documents (letter and legal size 
pages). They will be scaled automatically to fit the selected output media size.
Sides (Duplex): Tells the MFP if your original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both sides). 
This lets the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the e-mail.

							Understanding e-mail options

E-mail
Orientation: Tells the MFP whether the original document is portrait or landscape and then changes the Sides and Binding 
settings to match the original document orientation.
Binding: Tells the MFP whether the original document is bound on the long-edge or short-edge side.
E-mail Subject: Lets you enter a subject line to your e-mail. You can enter up to 255 characters.
E-mail Message: Lets you enter a message that will be sent with your scanned attachment.
Resolution: Adjusts the output quality of your e-mail. Increasing the image resolution increases the e-mail file size and the 
time needed to scan your original document. Image resolution can be decreased to reduce the e-mail file size.
Send As: Sets the output (PDF, TIFF, or JPEG) for the scanned image.
PDF output is a single file.
TIFF output is a single file. If Multi-page TIFF is turned off in the Configuration menu, then TIFF saves one page 
each in a series of files.
JPEG saves one page in each file. When multiple pages are scanned, the output will be a series of files.
Content: Tells the MFP the original document type. Choose from Text, Text/Photo, or Photo. Color can be turned on or off 
with any of the Content choices. Content affects the quality and size of your e-mail.
Te x t : Emphasize sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background.
Te x t / P h o t o : Used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures.
Photo: Tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting takes longer to scan but 
emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original. This increases the amount of 
information saved.
Color: Sets the scan type and output for the e-mail. Color documents can be scanned and sent to an e-mail 
address.
Note:The MFP will print color documents in grayscale only.
Advanced Options: Lets you change Advanced Imaging, Custom Job, Transmission Log, Scan Preview, Edge Erase, or 
Darkness settings.
Advanced Imaging: Adjusts Background Removal, Contrast, and Shadow Detail before you copy the document.
Custom Job (Job Build): Combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job.
Note:Custom Job is not supported on all models.
Transmission Log: Prints the transmission log or transmission error log.
Scan Preview: Displays the first pages of the image before it is included in the e-mail. When the first page is 
scanned, the scanning is paused and a preview image appears.
Note:Scan Preview is not supported on all models.
Edge Erase: 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.
Darkness: Adjusts how light or dark your scanned e-mails will turn out.

Manage Destinations link located under the Configuration tab on the Web page. A shortcut number (1—99999) can contain 
a single recipient or multiple recipients. By creating a group fax destination with a shortcut number, you can quickly and 
easily fax broadcast information to an entire group.

2Adjust the paper guides.
3Press # followed by the shortcut number on the keypad.
