SCANNER FUNCTIONS

This chapter explains how to use the scanner functions.

•

You must first connect to the machine using SC-Scan A to use the scanner functions. For details, see

Note

"CONNECTING TO AND DISCONNECTING FROM THE SCANNER FUNCTION USING SC-Scan A" (p.46).

•Scan jobs received while the machine is copying or printing will be stored in memory. When the copy job is finished, the scan jobs will begin.

•Scanning is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time.

•If an original misfeed occurs in the RSPF, scanning will not be possible until the misfed original is removed and the RSPF is restored to a usable state.
