Learning about the MFP

Understanding the MFP control panel

MFP and scanner settings can be changed several ways: through the MFP control panel, the software application in use, the print driver, MarkVision™ Professional, or the Web pages. Settings changed from the application or print driver apply only to the job being sent to the MFP.

Changes made to print, fax, copy, and e-mail settings from an application override changes made from the control panel. If a setting cannot be changed from the application, use the MFP control panel, MarkVision Professional, or the Web pages.

Changing a setting from the MFP control panel, MarkVision Professional, or the Web pages makes that setting the user default.

The MFP control panel consists of:

Callout Control panel item Function

1 LCD A liquid crystal display (LCD) which shows home screen

buttons, menus, menu items, and values. Allows for making selections within Copy, Fax, and so on.

Understanding the copy screens and options

Copy From: Opens a screen where you can enter the size of the documents you are going to copy.

• Touching any of the paper size icons on the follow-on screen will make that your selection and return you to the

Copy Options Screen.

• When Original Size is set to Mixed Sizes, you can scan different size original documents (letter and legal size pages). They will be scaled automatically to fit the selected output media size.

Copy To: Opens a screen where you can enter the size and type of paper on which your copies will be printed.

• Touching any of the paper size icons on the follow-on screen will make that your selection and return you to the

Copy Options Screen.

• If the size settings for Copy From and Copy T o are dif ferent, the MFP will automatically adjust the Scale setting to accommodate the difference.

• If you have a special type or size of paper that you'd like to copy onto that is not normally in the MFP paper trays, you can select MP Feeder, and manually send the type of paper you want through the MP feeder.

• When using Auto Match, the MFP will match the size of the original document as specified in the Copy From box. If a matching paper size is not loaded in one of the paper trays, the MFP will scale the copy to fit loaded media.

Scale: Creates an image from your copy that is proportionally scaled anywhere between 25% and 400%. Scale can also be set for you automatically.

• When you want to copy from one size of paper to another, such as legal size to letter size, setting your Copy From and Copy To paper sizes will automatically change the scale to keep all the original document information on your copy.

• Touching the arrow to the left lowers the value by 1%; touching the arrow to the right increases the value by 1%.

• Holding your finger on an arrow makes a continuous increment.

• Holding your finger on an arrow for two seconds causes the pace of the change to accelerate.

Darkness: Adjusts how light or dark your copies will turn out in relation to the original document.

Understanding the copy screens and options

Copying

Printed Image: Copies halftone photographs or graphics such as documents printed on a laser printer or pages from a

magazine or newspaper that are composed primarily of images. For original documents that are a mixture of text, line drawings, or other graphics, leave Printed Image off.

Sides (Duplex): Prints copies on 1 or 2 sides, makes 2-sided copies (duplex) of 2-sided originals, 2-sided copies from 1-sided original s or 1-sided copies (simplex) from 2-sided originals.

Note: For 2-sided output, you must have a duplex unit attached to your printer.

Collate: Keeps the pages of a print job stacked in sequence, particularly when printing multiple copies of the document.

The default setting for Collate is on; the output pages of your copies will be ordered (1,2,3) (1,2,3) (1,2,3). If you want all the copies of each page to remain together, turn Collate off, and your copies will be ordered (1,1,1) (2,2,2) (3,3,3).

Options: Opens a screen to change Paper Saver, Advanced Imaging, Separator Sheets, Margin Shift, Edge Erase, Date/ Time Stamp, Overlay, Content, or Advance Duplex settings.

• Paper Saver: Takes two or more sheets of an original document and prints them together on the same page. Paper Saver is also called N-up printing. The N stands for Number. For example, 2-up would print two pages of your document on a single page, and 4-up would print four pages of your document on a single page. Touching Print Page Borders adds or removes the outline border surrounding the original document pages on the output page.

• Create Booklet: Creates a sequence of collated output that, when folded in half, forms a booklet half the page size of the original document and with all the pages in order.

Note: To use Create Booklet, you must have a duplex unit attached to the MFP.

• Advanced Imaging: Adjusts Background Removal, Contrast, and Shadow Detail before you copy the document.

• Custom Job (Job Build): Combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job.

Note: Custom Job is not supported on all models.

• Separator Sheets: Places a blank piece of paper between each copy of your copying job. The separator she ets

can be drawn from a bin with a different kind or color of paper from your copies.

• Margin Shift: Increases the size of the margin the specified distance. This can be useful in providing space to bind or hole-punch copies. Use the increase or decrease arrows to set how much of a margin you want. If the additional margin is too large, the copy will be cropped.

• Edge Erase: Eliminates smudges or information around the edges of your document. Y ou can choose to eliminate an equal area around all four sides of the paper, or pick a particular edge. Edge Erase will erase whatever is within the selected area, leaving nothing printed on that portion of the paper.

• Date/Time Stamp: Turns the Date/Time Stamp on and prints the date and time at the top of every page.

• Overlay: Creates a watermark (or message) that overlays the content of your copy. You can choose between

Urgent, Confidential, Copy, and Draft. The word you pick will appear, faintly, in large print across each page.

Note: A custom overlay can be created by the System Administrator. An additional icon with that message

will then be available.

• Content: Enhances copy quality. Choose Text for original documents that are mostly text or line art. Choose Text/ Photo when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures. Choose Photograph when the

original document is a high-quality photograph or inkjet print. Choose Printed Image when copying halftone photographs or graphics such as documents printed on a laser printer or pages from a magazine or newspaper.

• Advanced Duplex: Controls how many sides and what orientation your original documents have, and whether your original documents are bound along the long edge or the short edge.
