CHECKING COPIES BEFORE PRINTING
(Proof Copy)
This feature prints only one set of copies, regardless of how many sets have been specified. After the first set is checked 
for errors, the remaining sets can be printed. Normally it is necessary to re-scan the original each time changes to 
settings are required. However, this feature makes it possible to change settings for the scanned original without 
scanning it again, allowing you perform copying more efficiently.
1
Place the original.
Place the original face up in the document feeder tray, or face 
down on the document glass.
2
Select copy settings.

COPYING ORIGINALS OF DIFFERENT SIZES 
(Mixed Size Original)
Originals of mixed sizes can be copied together, such as 11 x 17 (A3) originals mixed in with 8-1/2 x 14 (B4)

appropriate for that size.
There are two settings for mixed size originals.

Use this setting for originals that are different sizes but have sides that are the same length. The 
originals are inserted in the document feeder tray with the sides that are the same length aligned 
together on the left.
