Introduction to the copy function

Introduction

The copy function enables you to copy paper originals. You can define the settings of the copy jobs manually or by using templates. Templates contain predefined settings for recurring types of copy jobs.

NOTE

The default setting of the copy function is automatic duplex copying.

The copy function contains a number of factory default templates, for example for copying mixed-size originals or combining several sets of originals. Furthermore, you can define customized templates. The factory default templates are directly available when you access the copy function. When you select one of these templates, the system sets the typical settings for the selected type of copy job automatically. Next you can define all other settings for the originals and the output.

The table below show the factory default templates you can use to start a copy job.

Table 1. Overview of the templates

Template

When to use

[Copy job]

Copy originals that have the same media size and require changing a number of settings.

[Combined copy job]

Combine several sets of originals with the same or mixed media size, and create one single copy job.

When you select this template, the possibility to add subsets is already displayed.

[Copy to DocBox]

NOTE

[Copy to DocBox] is only visible when your system is equipped with the optional DocBox function.

Send the job to the DocBox to get extended possibilities to programmed each page separately.

When you select this template, the destination of the copy job is set to the first available DocBox. The destination is always set to this DocBox, even when a different copy job destination has been defined for the active workflow profile.

However, you can change the DocBox to which the job must be sent.

[Booklet job]

Create booklets from paper originals.

When you select this template:

  • The [Layout] setting is set to [Booklet], and

  • The [Media] setting is set to A3/Tabloid, because the system assumes you want to create booklets of A4/LTR originals.

[Mixed size]

Copy a set of originals that consists of different media sizes. The output will also consist of these different media sizes.

[Easy copy job]

Copy originals that only require simple settings: one-sided or two-sided copy, zoom, media, staples, number of copies.

[Last used]

Reuse the settings of the previous copy job or scan job for your new job.

NOTE

You cannot use [Last used] when the previous job was a scan job or a combined copy job.
