Operation of the Machine and Terms Used
in This Manual
This machine makes effective use of memory in order to perform print operations efficiently. For
example, as soon as the machine has scanned the original that you want to copy, it can
immediately scan the next person’s original. You can also print from this machine, using a function
other than the Copy function. In this machine, these operations take place in a complex way, so
that not only copies, but also various kinds of prints may sometimes have to wait their turn before
they can be output.
To avoid confusion when reading this manual, the terms “scanning,” “printing,” and “copying” used
throughout this manual are defined as set out below. There are some cases in which the scanning
of an original when making a copy, and the process of making a print, are described separately.
Scanning
Scanning an original to be copied.
Outputting a copy or outputting data sent from a
personal computer to the machine.
Printing
Copying
Scanning of an original, printing through finishing (stapling, etc.).
