Combining Pages and Making 2-sided Copies

This section describes how to set the machine to combine multiple pages (2 or 4 pages) of an original onto a single page. Also, with the Type 2 model, you can scan 2-sided originals and make 2-sided copies.

Important

  • This function is only available when the original is set in the ARDF or ADF, not when it is set on the exposure glass.

  • For combine and 2-sided copying, the paper size must be A4, Letter or Legal.

  • For 2-sided copying, the paper type must be thin, plain, recycled, color, preprinted, prepunched, thick paper 1, or letterhead.

There are following copy modes. Select a copy mode according to your original and how you want the copy outputs to appear.

Combined copy on 1 side

In this mode, copy will be made on 1 side, on which 2 or 4 pages of an original will be printed.
