Set the number of copies to be scanned when creating a master image.
*1
As the number of scanned copies increases, the inspection accuracy increases. Initially, set to a small number of copies, then check the scanned images and increase the number of copies as needed. The recommended number of copies is as follows.
Image type
Recommended number of copies
Photographs containing halftone (if you want high inspection accuracy)
5 copies
Photographs containing halftone
3 copies
Monochrome text
1 copy
IMPORTANT
If you are scanning two or more copies, configure the print job so that the same page on the second and subsequent copies have the same image. If the print job contains numbers, text, and variable data that differ between the copies, the master images will not be created correctly.
Example of setting the number of sheets
In the Inspection Tool, set the size and number of sheets of paper that will be actually output. The correlation between the print job settings on the controller side and the settings on the Inspection Tool side is as follows. Take care configuring the settings when inspecting 2-sided printing and booklet printing.
