Customizing copy settings

Copying from one size to another

  1. Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass.

    Note: Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
  2. If you are loading a document into the ADF, then adjust the paper guides.

  3. On the home screen, touch Copy.

  4. Touch Copy from, and then identify the size of the original document.

  5. Touch Copy to, and then select the size you want the copy to be.

    Note: If you select a paper size that is different from the “Copy from” size, then the printer will scale the size automatically.
  6. Touch Copy It.

Making copies using paper from a selected tray

During the copy process, you can select the tray that contains the paper type of choice. For example, if specialty media is located in the multipurpose feeder, and you want to make copies on that media:

  1. Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass.

    Note: Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.

  4. Touch Copy from, and then identify the size of the original document.

  5. Touch Copy to, and then touch Manual Feeder or the tray that contains the paper type you want.

    Note: If you choose Manual Feeder, then you will need to also select the paper size and type.
  6. Touch Copy It.

Copying a document that contains mixed paper sizes

Use the ADF to copy an original document that contains mixed paper sizes. Depending on the paper sizes loaded and the “Copy to” and “Copy from” settings, each copy is either printed on mixed paper sizes (Example 1) or scaled to fit a single paper size (Example 2).

Example 1: Copying to mixed paper sizes

The printer has two paper trays, one tray loaded with letter-size paper and the other with legal-size paper. A document that contains letter- and legal-size pages needs to be copied.

  1. Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass.

    Note: Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
  2. If you are loading a document into the ADF, then adjust the paper guides.

  3. On the home screen, touch Copy.

  4. Touch Copy from, and then touch Auto Size Sense.

  5. Touch Copy to, and then touch Auto Size Match.

  6. Touch Copy It.

    The scanner identifies the mixed paper sizes as they scan. Copies are printed on mixed paper sizes corresponding to the paper sizes of the original document.

Example 2: Copying to a single paper size

The printer has one paper tray, loaded with letter-size paper. A document that contains letter- and legal-size pages needs to be copied.

  1. Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass.

    Note: Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
  2. If you are loading a document into the ADF, then adjust the paper guides.

  3. On the home screen, touch Copy.

  4. Touch Copy from, and then touch Mixed Letter/Legal.

  5. Touch Copy to, and then touch Letter.

  6. Touch Copy It.

    The scanner identifies the mixed paper sizes as they scan and then scales the legal-size pages to print on letter-size paper.

Copying on both sides of the paper (duplexing)

  1. Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass.

    Note: Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
  2. If you are loading a document into the ADF, adjust the paper guides.

  3. On the home screen, touch Copy.

  4. From the Sides (Duplex) area, touch the button that looks the way you want your copies duplexed.

    The first number represents sides of the original documents; the second number represents sides of the copy. For example, select 1-sided to 2-sided if you have 1-sided original documents and you want 2-sided copies.

  5. Touch Copy It.

Reducing or enlarging copies

Copies can be reduced to 25% of the original document size or enlarged to 400% of the original document size. The factory default setting for Scale is Auto. If you leave Scale set to Auto, the content of your original document will be scaled to fit the size of the paper onto which you are copying.

To reduce or enlarge a copy:

  1. Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass.

    Note: Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
  2. If you are loading a document into the ADF, then adjust the paper guides.

  3. On the home screen, touch Copy.

Creating a custom job (job build)

The custom job or job build is used to combine one or more sets of original documents into a single copy job. Each set may be scanned using different job parameters. When a copy job is submitted and Custom Job is enabled, the scanner scans the first set of original documents using the supplied parameters, and then it scans the next set with the same or different parameters.

The definition of a set depends on the scan source:

For example:

  1. Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass.

    Note: Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
  2. If you are loading a document into the ADF, then adjust the paper guides.

  3. On the home screen, touch Copy.

  4. Touch Options.

  5. Touch Custom Job.

  6. Touch On.

  7. Touch Done.

  8. Touch Copy It.

    When the end of a set is reached, the scan screen appears.

  9. Load the next document faceup, short edge first into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass, and then touch Scan the Automatic Document Feeder or Scan the flatbed.

    Note: If required, change the job settings.
  10. If you have another document to scan, load the next document faceup, short edge first into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass, and then touch Scan the Automatic Document Feeder or Scan the flatbed. Otherwise, touch Finish the job.
