COPYING Leaving A Blank Margin At The Leading Edge
Leaving A Blank Margin At The Leading Edge
You can create a blank margin at the top of the copy (fig. a, the leading
edge), or have the leading edge of the image bleed off the copy (fig. b) .
The copier does this by shifting the entire image backward or forward
according to the margin you set.
With the roll feeder, the length of the margin does
of the paper. If you want to create a blank margin at the trailing edge,
simply set the paper length a little longer than the total length of the
original and lead margin. Set the margin

If the original had no blank margin surrounding it, you would have obtained a copy with a 5 cm blank margin at the leading edge, and with the
bottom 5 cm of the original cut of f the copy.

Suppose in the first example you had instead wanted the margin at the
bottom of your copy instead of the top. In that case, in step ¸ above, you
would have had to press the - key until -5.0 appeared in the display. The
image would have been shifted forward on the copy and a 10 cm margin
would have been left at the bottom of the copy ( 5 cm set b y you plu s 5 c m
