the MFP remains inactive for the

Printing

The MFP is printing a job.

 

 

 

 

Printing page [x]

A sheet of print media moves

 

 

through the MFP to be printed.

 

 

x represents the number of the sheet

 

 

being printed. Even though a duplex

 

 

(two-sided) sheet has two sides,

 

 

called pages, it only counts as one

 

 

sheet.

 

 

 

 

Printing page [x],

A sheet of print media moves

 

copy [a]/[b]

through the MFP to be printed.

 

 

x represents the number of the sheet

 

 

being printed. Even though a duplex

 

 

sheet has two sides, called pages, it

 

 

only counts as one sheet, so pages

 

 

are not counted, only sheets passing

 

 

through the MFP.

 

 

The total number of sheets in a set is

 

 

not known, but the number of sets is

 

 

known. For example, a user may

 

 

have requested that three copies

 

 

print, so there are three sets of

 

 

sheets, but the number of sheets is

 

 

unknown.

 

 

 

 

Printing page [x]/

A sheet of print media moves

 

[y], copy [a]/[b]

through the MFP to be printed.

 

 

x represents the number of the sheet

 

 

being printed. A sheet is considered

 

 

a front and back page of one piece

 

 

of print media. A group of sheets is

 

 

called a set. y represents the total

 

 

number of sheets in a set.

 

 

a is the number of the current set

 

 

printing. b is the total number of sets

 

 

to be printed. For example, a user

 

 

may send a 6-page duplex print job

 

 

and select three copies to print, so

 

 

there are three sheets to print for

 

 

each job. This makes one set. Three

 

 

sets must print before the user has

 

 

the complete job.

 

 

 

 

Ready

The MFP is ready to receive and

Print, fax, scan, e-mail, copy, or use FTP.

 

process jobs.
