Document Glass

Lift the document feeder, then place the original facedown on the back, left corner of the document glass.

Document Feeder

Insert originals faceup with the top entering the feeder first. Adjust the paper guides so they fit against the originals.

2. On the control panel, press the Copy button.

3. Use the keypad on the control panel to enter the desired number of copies. The number of

copies appears in the upper, right corner of the display.

4. If you are making more than one copy, press the Output button to turn collation on or off.

Note

When Output is set to collate and you are copying from the document glass, the system copies the first page and then prompts you for Another original to copy?. If you do not want to see this message, press the Output button to select Uncollated before starting your copy job.

5. Press the Start button.

If you placed originals in the document feeder, copying continues until the document feeder is empty.

Note

Because the WorkCentre C2424 Copier-Printer is often used on networks, the system may be printing a job when you make copies. The system can be set up to allow copy jobs to interrupt print jobs. See page 3-18 for information on setting this option.
