J. Skipping Operation
1. Outline
What is termed
skipping is a copying
sequence in which every other original is copied
(or skipped) when making one set of two-sided
copies of one-sided originals so that the space in
the No. 2 feeding assembly (areas free of copy
paper) is made full use of.
Figure 3-429
Skipping is executed under the following con-
ditions:
•
When making two-sided copies of one-sided
originals using the RDF-D1.
•
When making one set of copies.
•
When the copy paper and the original are A4,
B5, or LTR and are fed horizontally.
•
When cover mode is selected.
2. Operation
Skipping consists of the following series of
operations:
1 Every other original placed in the RDF-D1 is
copied; the copy paper after copying is stacked
in the duplexing unit.
The RDF-D1 detects the number of originals
when the last original has been fed to find out
whether there is an even or an odd number of
originals. This is to determine how copies
should be delivered.
2 Those originals which have been skipped are
copied. (Pick-up will be from the duplexing
unit.)
Reference:
Skipping may be disabled in user mode.
