Basic Copying Features

NOTE

If the top edge of the original is not aligned with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in the top left corner), your original may not be scanned correctly, depending on the copy mode that you have set.

STMT and LTR originals can be placed either vertically or horizontally. However, the scanning speed for horizontally placed originals is somewhat slower than vertically

placed originals. Place originals horizontally when printing with a preset copy ratio, such as when enlarging an LTR original onto 11" 17" paper.

Horizontally placed LTR and STMT originals are referred to as LTRR and STMTR.

11" 17" and LGL originals must be placed horizontally.

When <AUTO COLLATE> is set to ‘COLLATE’ or ‘STAPLE’, the Collate (Offset Collate with the optional finisher attached) or Staple mode is automatically set when you place the originals into the feeder. (See “Auto Collate,” on p. 3-14.)

To get the same output orientation as when the original is placed on the platen glass, place the original upside down and face up. However, when using the Staple mode, the machine rotates the output automatically.

Platen Glass

You should use the platen glass when copying bound originals (such as books and magazines), heavy or lightweight originals, and transparencies.

NOTE

The imageRUNNER 2020 automatically detects the size of the following originals on the platen glass: 11" 17", LGL, LTR, and LTRR.

If you place your original on the platen glass of the imageRUNNER 2016, the machine cannot detect the size of the original. You should select the paper size for the copies manually. (See “Manual Paper Selection,” on p. 1-26.)
