Standard Printing

----

Printing

In this manual, the word, “Printing” is used as opposed to “Copying” in order to distinguish between the process that your machine uses to make prints, and the process used by a standard copier machine.

A standard copier scans in the original for each copy set made. This machine, however, scans in your original once and makes multiple prints from this master.

This chapter describes the basic pointing operations that your machine is capable of.

Standard Printing

Set the original face down on the

exposure glass. The original should be centred according to the size marks on the right scale.

Lower the platen cover.
