copying (overview)  
copying (overview)  
With your system up and ready, wide-format color copying is  
easy, and most copy tasks will require only a few settings.  
Remember to set your printer media width in your copy system  
software (see ‘How do I set up the printer media width’ in your  
online help).  
Copying is controlled through the Copy tab and involves the  
following steps:  
a - Insert the original face down into the scanner.  
b - Select Color or B&W (black and white) copying.  
c - Select your Type of original template.  
d - Set the input size. Usually this will be equal to the size  
of your original. You can select Auto and let the  
scanner detect the document’s size.  
e - Set the intended output size of your copy. For making  
one-to-one copies, this will be the size of your original.  
You can also use Scale to determine the copy’s size.  
f - Press the Copy button.

the number of sets (how many times the whole list will be  
printed), or by using a combination of both.  
a - Press the Print tab.

scanning thick media  
scanning thick media  
Your scanner is capable of scanning heavyweight coated  
paper or cardboard. Other kinds of thick media are not  
supported and could cause damage.  
To scan thick media, you can change the insertion slot height  
on your scanner from 0 to 15 mm (0 to 0.6 inches). You can fit  
the slot to the thickness of your original.  
NOTE  
Changing the insertion slot height can affect the scanner’s automatic  
control of border lines between the cameras, which is called  
‘stitching.  
To scan thick originals:  
a - Open the scanner cover.  
b - Press down on the platen as you pull first one slider,  
and then the other (left and right), towards the  
scanner’s center until the media thickness adjustment  
sliders found at each side are at the same setting.

c - Close the scanner cover.  
d - Load the thick original you wish to scan. Center  
loading is recommended with thick originals, so that  
the media transport rollers grip more evenly.  
e - Make a test scan to check for errors. Bulky thick  
material needs to be supported with both hands on its  
way in and out of the scanner.  
Errors will be easier to see in an image with a clear  
diagonal line. If lines seem uneven, proceed as follows:  
f - In the Setup tab, select the Scan Options button.

scanner software does not start  
If your scanner system software does not start up when you turn  
on the touch screen, you will need to reinstall the software.  
Reinstalling this software will not affect your own data or  
settings.  
You need the ’System Recovery’ CD that came with your  
scanner system.  
a - With the system on, insert the System Recovery CD in  
the CD-ROM drive.  
b - Power off the touch screen and then power it on again.  
Once recovery has started, it is automatic. Ignore any  
menus. Remember to remove the CD when recovery is  
finished.  
c - Power off the touch screen and then power it on again.
