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%.

10-key pad

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.
