CHECKING COPIES BEFORE PRINTING

This feature prints only one set of copies, regardless of how many sets have been specified. After the first set is checked 
for errors, the remaining sets can be printed. Previously it was necessary to re-scan the original each time changes to 
settings were required. However, this feature makes it possible to change settings for the scanned original without 
scanning it again, allowing you perform copying more efficiently.

Place the original face up in the document feeder tray, or face down on the document glass.

number of sheets that were scanned and 
touch the [OK] key.
Copying will begin.
 When job build mode is used, the number of scanned sheets 
appears when the [Read-End] key is touched.

original sheets, not the number of scanned original pages. 
For example, when two-sided copying is performed using 
one original, the number 1 will appear to indicate that one 
original sheet was scanned, not 2 to indicate the front-side 
page and the reverse side page.
If the displayed number of original sheets is different from the actual number of original sheets...
Press the [STOP] key ( ).

COPYING ORIGINALS OF DIFFERENT SIZES 
(Mixed Size Original)
This function requires the automatic document feeder.
Even when B4 (8-1/2 x 14) originals are mixed in with A3 (11 x 17) originals, all originals can be copied at once. When 
scanning the originals, the machine automatically detects the size of each original and uses paper appropriate for that size.
When mixed size original is combined with auto ratio selection, the ratio is adjusted individually for each original according 
to the selected paper size, enabling output on a uniform paper size.
When mixed size original is combined with auto ratio selection
(Auto ratio selection and A3 (11 x 17) are selected)
There are two settings for mixed size originals.
Same Width
Use this setting for originals that are different sizes but have sides that are the same length. The originals 
are inserted in the document feeder tray with the sides that are the same length aligned together on the left.
