Notice and useful tips for copying

Note for copying

❏ When you make a copy using a control panel function, a moiré

(cross-hatch) pattern may appear on your printout. To eliminate the moiré, change the reduce/enlarge ratio or shift the position of the original document.

❏ The copied image may not have exactly the same size as the original.

English

❏ If this product runs out of paper while making copies, be sure to load

additional paper as soon as possible. If left without paper for a long period of time, the colors of the first copy made after reloading may not accurately reflect those of the original.

❏ If the LCD panel indicates low ink while you are copying, you can

either continue making copies until the ink runs out, or stop making copies and then replace the ink cartridge.

Copying 19

When copying in BorderFree or Small Margins layout

Because this layout enlarge the image to a size slightly larger than the paper size, the portion of the image that extends beyond the edge of the paper will not be copied.

When copying in Poster layout

Depending on the original image, the number of divided images may not be 4, 9, or 16 as you selected, because this product reads the entirely white area as blank and the area will not be printed.

Gluing the images together

1. Align the images.

2. Cut the crossover area, and then glue all the images together.

The illustration shows the example of making poster with 4 printouts. The gray area shows the excess area to be cut.

Warning:

Be careful when using edged tools.

When placing a document on the document table

❏ Keep the document table clean.

❏ Make sure the document is flat against the glass surface; otherwise

the image becomes out of focus.

❏ Do not leave photographs on the document table for an extended

period of time. They may stick to the glass of the document table.

❏ Do not place heavy objects on top of this product.
