copying.

■ Print: settings used when printing saved image files.

■ Setup: printer, scanner, and job accounting settings that

are likely to be changed infrequently.

The viewing section consists of:

adjustments.

The copy toolbar contains the main copy commands and the Help button for online help.

copying (overview)

With your system up and ready, wide-format color copying is easy, and most copy tasks will require only a few settings. Remember to set your printer media width in your copy system software (see ‘How do I set up the printer media width’ in your online help).

Copying is controlled through the Copy tab and involves the following steps:

a - Insert the original face down into the scanner.

b - Select Color or B&W (black and white) copying.

c - Select your Type of original template.

d - Set the input size. Usually this will be equal to the size

of your original. You can select Auto and let the scanner detect the document’s size.

e - Set the intended output size of your copy. For making

one-to-one copies, this will be the size of your original. You can also use Scale to determine the copy’s size.

f - Press the Copy button.
