Copier Terms
% (percentage) | The ratio of the original image size to the copied image size. If the copy |
| image is larger than the original, the % number is larger. A copied image |
| that is twice the size of the original is said to be 200%. If the copy image |
| is smaller than the original, the % number is lower. A copied image that is |
| half the size of the original is said to be 50%. |
The portion of the Control Panel with numerical keys. These keys are | |
| used primarily to input the desired number of copies and are also used to |
| input numerical data into the copier during programming. |
Book Originals | Any bound original that cannot be fed through the Feeder. Because the |
| pages cannot be separated, they must be copied manually from the |
| Exposure Glass. The Book Original features can be used to make the |
| book copying process more efficient. |
Bypass Feed Tray | A Tray used to feed single sheets of special or transparent stock into the |
| copier to be copied. Because sheets from this tray feed straight through |
| the copier paper path, the Tray is especially useful for feeding heavy |
| stock. See also: Stack Feed Bypass Tray. |
Casual Operator | An operator that uses the copier to make copies but does not have Key |
| Operator responsibilities such as adding Toner or calling for service. |
Charge Corona | A device located near the Drum that activates the light sensitivity of the |
| Drum and prepares it to be exposed and imaged. |
Cleaning Unit | An assembly that cleans any residual image toner from the Drum in |
| preparation for the next image. |
Clear/Stop Key | The Key used to stop a copy job while it is still running. It may also be |
| used to clear program functions from a previous job and return to the |
| default settings. |
Control Panel | The surface at the front of the copier containing Keys used to control the |
| operation of the copier. It usually also contains the display that shows the |
| status of the copier or the job in progress. |
Copies | The imaged paper output from a copier. It might be a direct reproduction |
| of the input document or it can contain any number of changes as |
| programmed into the copier such as Enlargement/Reduction, Trim/Mask, |
| etc. |
Copies in Progress | This display or part of a display shows how many copies of the total have |
| been made. |
Copies Selected | This display is the same as Copy Quantity, in that it shows the number of |
| copies requested. |
