Reserved Copying
You can set the machine to scan originals even while it is printing or waiting to process a job.
You can reserve copying at the following times:
While the Machine Is Waiting
You can specify copy settings or scan originals while the machine is in the waiting state. This can be directly after you turn the machine ON, or after you clear a paper jam. Copying begins automatically when the machine is ready. The message <Ready to make reservation copies. (Settings Changed)> appears when the machine is able to reserve copies.
