Simultaneous Printing While Copying or Scanning

Your copier/printer can print data from your computer while copying an original, or while scanning information into the computer. However, when the machine is printing a copy, it pauses a PC printing operation, and resumes when copying is finished. Scanning continues during PC printing without a pause.
