Preventing Copying of Blank Pages (Skip Blank Pages)
You can automatically skip pages determined to be blank when copying.
For example, when you place both 1-sided and 2-sided originals in the feeder for 2-sided copying, the machine also copies the back side (blank page) of each 1-sided original. In this case, you can save paper by configuring the settings to automatically skip pages determined to be blank when copying.
