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.

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.

Reserving a Copy Job Using the Stack Bypass-C

You can reserve the paper type for copy jobs using the Stack Bypass-C, even while using the Stack Bypass-C.
Example: You can reserve LTR paper to use in the Stack Bypass-C when using 11" x 17" paper in the Stack Bypass-C to print the current job.
1.
Press (Main Menu) → [Copy].
If the pop-up screen that appears while the machine is printing or waiting to print is displayed, press [Close].
2.
Specify the desired copy mode.
3.
Press [Select Paper] → [Change MP Tray Paper].
If you do not reserve a job, the Change MP Tray Paper screen appears when paper is loaded into the Stack Bypass-C. (See "Loading Paper into the Stack Bypass-C.")
4.
Select the desired paper type and paper size.
If the desired paper type is not shown on the Select Paper screen, press [Detailed Settings] and select the desired paper type on the Detailed Settings screen.
If you are copying onto the back side of a previously printed sheet, press [2nd Side of 2-Sided Page].
IMPORTANT
Be sure to correctly set the paper type. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it may adversely affect image quality. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
NOTE
You can register paper types that are not displayed on the detailed settings list in <Change Multi-Purpose Tray Paper: Paper Type>. For more information on storing the paper type, see "Registering Custom Paper Types."
If there is more than one reserved job waiting to print, only the last paper size/type specified for the reserved print job appear on the Paper Select screen.
If [Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults] is set to 'On' in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration), the stored default values appear. (See "Registering Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults.")

If any paper for the completed job is remaining in the Stack Bypass-C, remove the paper, and then load the specified paper into the Stack Bypass-C. For information on how to load paper into the Stack Bypass-C, see "Loading Paper into the Stack Bypass-C."
NOTE
Make sure to load the same paper size and type selected in step 4 into the Stack Bypass-C. Copying does not start if paper of a different size or type is loaded.
NOTE
You can specify up to 20 jobs to be reserved, including the current job. Interrupt copy jobs are not included in this count.
You can set different copy modes and paper sources, including the Stack Bypass-C, for each reserved job.
If [Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults] is set to 'On' in Device Use Settings, reserved printing can be performed only for the registered paper size and type. (See "Registering Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults.")
