Note

  • If the length of the first original is shorter than 91 mm (3.6 inches), Combine mode will be disabled.

  • You can set the machine to automatically cancel Combine mode or Repeat mode once you have finished. For details, see 4 Mode Setting.

  • Any image that is closer than 5 mm (0.2 inches) to the leading edge of the first original will not be printed. Also, any image is closer than 4 mm (0.16 inches) to the leading edge of the second original will not be printed. If an image is too close to the leading edge, make duplicates of the originals with the image shifted away from the leading edge, and then print from the duplicates.

  • You can select different image settings for the first and second originals.

  • Make sure the paper feed side plates touch the paper lightly. Otherwise, the two images will not be properly aligned on the prints.

  • If you want to check the image before printing, press the [Auto Cycle] key before pressing the [Start] key, in order to disable Auto Cycle mode. See When Auto Cycle Mode Is Off.
