COPY FLOW
MAKING COPIES
This chapter explains basic and other copying functions. The unit is equipped with a one-page memory buffer. This memory allows the unit to scan an original once only and make up to 99 copies. This feature improves workflow, reduces operation noise from the copier, and provides higher reliability by reducing wear and tear on the scanning mechanism.
1 Make sure that paper has been loaded in the paper tray (p.15) or multi-bypass tray (p.17), and check the paper size (p.14).
If paper is not loaded, see page 15. If you are using the single bypass, check the paper size and then proceed to the next step without loading paper.
