CONVENIENT COPY FUNCTIONS
This section explains major convenient copy functions.
ROTATING THE IMAGE 90 DEGREES (Rotation Copy)
When Auto paper select mode or automatic ratio selection are in operation and the original is placed in a different 
orientation (vertical or horizontal) than the paper, the original image will be automatically rotated 90 degrees to 
enable correct copying onto the paper.
This function is convenient for copying B4 or A3 originals, which can only be placed horizontally, onto paper that is 
loaded vertically.
The rotation copy function is initially enabled. It can be disabled in the system settings. (p.57)
SORT COPY/GROUP COPY
●Copies of multiple original pages can be sorted into sets. (Sort copy)
●Copies of multiple original pages can be grouped by page. (Group copy)
 Rotation copy will not operate when a copy is enlarged to a paper size greater than A4. In this case, place the 
original in the same orientation as the paper.
 When 2 IN 1 / 4 IN 1 copy is used (p.31), rotation copy will operate even if disabled in the system settings.
Note

The machine can scan standard originals (A4) with approximately 160 pages, however, the number will vary for 
photos and other types of originals. Less pages can be scanned for interrupt copying.Note

(solid line or broken line) in the system settings (p.56). When finished, follow the steps below.
 An appropriate ratio setting will be automatically selected based on the size of the originals, the size of the 
paper, and the selected number of originals. When using the document glass, reduction is possible to 25%. 
When using the SPF/RSPF, reduction is possible to 50%. Certain combinations of original size, paper size, and 
number of images may result in images being cut off.
 Even if Rotation copy is disabled in the system settings, the original images may be rotated if necessary 
depending on their orientation and the orientation of the paper.
 2 IN 1 / 4 IN 1 copy cannot be used in combination with dual page copying (p.27), XY Zoom (p.21), margin shift 
(p.33), or erase copy. (p.34)

CREATING MARGINS WHEN COPYING (Margin Shift)
The MARGIN SHIFT feature, in its initial setting, automatically shifts the text or image to increase the margin by 
approximately 10mm.
The location of the margin to be increased can be selected to be either at the left edge or the top of the page

document glass, place 
the side of the original 
where you wish to create 
the margin on the right.
If you are using the 
SPF/RSPF, place the 
side of the original where 
you wish to create the 
margin on the left.
2If the original is placed on the

size. (p.15)
When using the SPF/RSPF, make sure that the 
same ORIGINAL SIZE indicator as your original 
size lights up.

 You can also switch between the left margin and the top margin in the system settings. (p.57)
 The margin width can be changed in the system settings. (p.57)
 Note that a margin is created by shifting the image, and thus if the image is shifted too far, the edge of the image 
may be cut off.
 If the ORIGINAL SIZE indicator blinks when margin shift is selected, rotate the original so that it is in the same 
orientation as the blinking ORIGINAL SIZE indicator.

on the operation panel is lit.
If the ON LINE indicator is 
not lit, press the [ON 
LINE] key ( ). 
When the indicator is: 
 Lit, the machine is online and ready to print, or is 
printing.
 Blinking, the machine is processing print data in 
memory or printing has been paused.
 Off, the machine is off-line and cannot print.
2Start WordPad and open the 
document that you wish to print.
3Select Print from the applications 
File menu.
The Print dialog box will appear.

(p.44)
The print job will be delivered to the output tray.
 Print jobs received while the machine is copying or scanning will be stored in memory. When the copy job is 
finished, the print jobs will begin printing.
 Printing is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed 
occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time. 
 If an original misfeed occurs in the SPF/RSPF, printing will not be possible until the misfed original is removed 
and the SPF/RSPF is restored to a usable state.

This section explains major advanced print functions.
The explanations assume that the paper size and other basic settings have already been selected. For the basic 
procedure for printing and the steps for opening the printer driver, see BASIC PRINTING (p.35).
PRINTING MULTIPLE PAGES ON ONE PAGE (N-Up Printing)
This function can be used to reduce the print image and print multiple pages on a single sheet of paper.
This is convenient when you want to print multiple images such as photos on a single sheet of paper, and when you
want to conserve paper. This function can also be used in combination with two-sided printing for maximum 
conservation of paper.
The following print results will be obtained, depending on the order selected.
1Click the Main tab in the printer 
driver setup screen.
