Canon IR1600 manual Operation of the Machine and Terms Used in This Manual

Operation of the Machine and Terms Used in This Manual

This machine makes effective use of memory in order to perform print operations efficiently. For example, as soon as the machine has scanned the original that you want to copy, it can immediately scan the next person’s original. You can also print from this machine, using a function other than the Copy function. In this machine, these operations take place in a complex way, so that not only copies, but also various kinds of prints may sometimes have to wait their turn before they can be output.

To avoid confusion when reading this manual, the terms “scanning,” “printing,” and “copying” used throughout this manual are defined as set out below. There are some cases in which the scanning of an original when making a copy, and the process of making a print, are described separately.

Scanning

Scanning an original to be copied.

Printing

Outputting a copy or outputting data sent from a personal computer to the machine.

Copying

Scanning of an original, printing through finishing (stapling, etc.).
