  • Copy (MFPs only) — Use Copy Quick Sets to configure and save commonly used settings for copy jobs.

  • Save to SharePoint® — Use Save to SharePoint Quick Sets to configure and save commonly used settings for saving jobs to a SharePoint site.

Select from various job settings, such as starting a job immediately upon selection of a quick set or requiring an image preview before starting a job.

Use the settings to improve the overall quality of the copy. For example, adjust the Darkness and Sharpness, and use the Background Cleanup setting to remove faint images from the background or to remove a light background color.

  • Darkness: Adjust to increase or decrease the amount of white and black in the colors

  • Contrast: Adjust to increase or decrease the difference between the lightest and darkest color on the page

  • Background Cleanup: Adjust if you are having trouble copying a faint image

  • Sharpness: Adjust to sharpen or soften the image. For example, increasing the sharpness could make text look clearer, but decreasing it could make photographs look smoother.

Content Orientation

For some features to work correctly, specify the way the content of the original document is placed on the page.

If you are making two-sided copies, select a 2-sided format option.

Orientation:

  • Portrait: The short edge of the page is along the top.

  • Landscape: The long edge of the page is along the top.

  • Book-style original; Flip-style copy: The back side of the original is printed right-side-up, but the back side of the copy is printed upside-down. Use this option when the original is bound along the left edge, but the copies need to be bound along the top edge.

  • Flip-style original; Book-style copy: The back side of the original is printed upside-down, but the back side of the copy is printed right-side-up. Use this option when the original is bound along the top edge, but the copies need to be bound along the left edge.

Edge-to-Edge

Use to avoid shadows that can display along the edges of copies when the original document is printed close to the edges.

Combine this feature with the Reduce/Enlarge feature to ensure that the entire page is printed on the copies.

When the Edge-to-Edge feature is turned on, the printer minimizes margins and prints as close to the edge of the paper as possible.

Multi-feed Detection

Use this feature to detect when multiple pages are fed simultaneously into the ADF (automatic document feeder) or sheet-feed scanner, alert the user, and stop the scanning job so the proper action can be taken. By default this feature is Enabled so that it automatically improves the scanning experience and results.
