Reserved Copying

You can set the machine to scan originals even while it is printing or waiting to process a job.
NOTE
You can reserve up to 20 copy jobs, including the current job. Interrupt copy jobs are not included in this count.
You can set different copy modes and paper sources, including the multi-purpose tray, for each reserved job. (See "Using the Multi-Purpose Tray.")
To cancel a previously set copy mode, press .
Reserving Copy Jobs
Reserved printing can be specified in the following cases:
While the Machine Is Waiting
You can specify copy settings or scan originals while the machine is in the waiting state, such as when the power is just turned ON, or after a paper jam is cleared. Copying automatically begins when the machine is ready. The message <Reservation copies can be made.> appears on the machine when it is able to process reserved copying.
NOTE
You can specify reserved copying while the machine is in the waiting state in the following cases:
Between the time that the machine is turned ON and when it is ready to copy
After a paper jam is cleared
After a cover on the main unit or an optional unit, such as a finisher, is opened and closed
While the Machine Is Printing
You can specify copy settings for a new job while the machine is printing. Copying of the new job automatically begins when the current job is complete.
1.
Press [Close] on the pop-up screen that appears while the machine is printing.
If the job displayed on the touch panel display is from a function other than the Copy function, press [Close] → [Copy] to display the Regular Copy Basic Features screen.
2.
Place your originals → set the desired copy modes and paper source.
3.
Press .
If you specify a reserved copy job while the machine is printing, copying of the new job automatically begins when the current job is complete. If the message <Cannot reserve any more jobs. Wait until the current job is complete, then try again.> is displayed, press [OK] → try reserving the job again after the current job is complete.
Using the Multi-Purpose Tray
You can perform reserved copying from the multi-purpose tray by specifying in advance the paper to be loaded for the next job. However, this is possible only if paper is being fed from the multi-purpose tray for the current job.

The following example assumes that A4 plain paper is being fed from the multi-purpose tray for the current job, and that you are selecting A3 plain paper to be fed from the multi-purpose tray for a reserved job.
IMPORTANT
When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
NOTE
If Register Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults in Preferences (from the Settings/Registration screen) is set to 'On', reserved copying can be performed only for the registered paper size and type. (See "Registering Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults.")
For more information on paper types, see "Available Paper Stock."
