Selecting an Output Device (Select Output Device)

If a remote copy printer (iR3245/iR3235/iR3230/iR3225) is connected to a network, this machine and a remote copy printer can be used for copying. For example, the original scanned by this machine can be printed by the remote copy printer independently (remote copying) or simultaneously (cascade copying).

You can select the copy settings before selecting an output device, or select the output device before selecting the copy settings.

  • Making the Copy Settings before Selecting an Output Device

If you set the copy mode before selecting a printing destination, only the remote copy printer supporting the selected copy mode can be selected as the printing destination.

  • Selecting the Output Device before Selecting the Copy Settings

To select a printing destination before setting a copy mode, only the copy mode supported by the selected remote copy printer can be chosen.


Remark
  • If you specify the Form Composition mode with the Cascade Copy mode, it is necessary to assign the same name to the stored image form in both this machine and the remote copy printer beforehand. If the assigned image form name in this machine is not set in the remote copy printer, the job is canceled. If multiple image forms with the same assigned name are stored in the remote copy printer, different images may be used for Form Composition.
  • If you turn the remote copy printer back ON or reattach the finisher, you need to refresh the settings of the remote copy printer in Register Remote Device in Copy Settings (from the Additional Functions screen). (See "Confirming a Remote Device.")

Image Quality Adjustment

You can copy the original by erasing the background color.


Remark
  • If [A] (Auto) is selected as the copy exposure on the Copy Basic Features screen, pressing [Image Qual. Adjustment] and making fine adjustments cancels the automatic copy exposure setting. Similarly, if you select [A] (Auto) for the copy exposure setting when image quality adjustments have been made, the Image Quality Adjustment mode is canceled and the automatic exposure is used instead.


Remove Background

This mode enables you to scan or make copies by erasing the background color of the original. This feature is especially useful for copying originals, such as catalogues and paper, that have turned yellow from age.


  1. Place your originals → press [Special Features] → [Image Qual. Adjustment].
  1. Press [Remove Background] → [OK].

If the background color remains, or if you want to make the background color darker when the original is scanned in the Remove Background mode, make fine adjustments to the density of the background color.

Adjusting the Contrast (Sharpness)

This mode enables you to scan and record, or make copies of the originals with a sharper or softer contrast. To reproduce text or lines with a sharper contrast, use [High] as the setting. To scan/copy originals containing printed photographs or other halftones with a softer contrast, use [Low] as the setting.

  • Low

If you make copies, or scan an original containing halftones, such as a printed photograph, using the Photo mode, the moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. However, you can lessen this moiré effect by using [Low] as the setting to produce a clearer copy (image).

  • High

This setting enhances the edges of original images so that faint or fine text is reproduced with a sharper contrast. This setting is particularly suited to scanning and copying blueprints and faint pencil drawn images.


Remark

  1. Place your originals → press [Special Features] → [Sharpness].
  1. Press [Low] or [High] to adjust the sharpness → press [OK].

To copy text or lines clearly, the setting should be towards [High]. To copy originals containing printed photographs or other halftones, the setting should be towards [Low].



Composing Images

The Form Composition mode enables you to superimpose a previously scanned image which has been stored in the memory of the machine (image form) on the output.


Remark
  • If you specify the Form Composition mode with the Cascade Copy mode, it is necessary to assign the same name to the stored image form in both this machine and the remote copy printer beforehand. If the assigned image form name in this machine is not set in the remote copy printer, the job is canceled. If multiple image forms with the same assigned name are stored in the remote copy printer, different images may be used for Form Composition.
  • To use the Form Composition mode, the image form must be stored in the machine beforehand. (See "Additional Functions.")
  • Form composition can be used with other copy modes to process images. However, copy modes other than the Shift or Mirror Image mode can only be used for copying images, and not for stored image forms.
  • Up to 100 image forms can be stored. However, this number varies depending on the free space of the hard disk.
  • For the Mail Box function, the Form Composition mode cannot be used with documents whose resolution is other than 600 x 600 dpi.

Auto Collate

If Auto Collate is set to 'On', the machine automatically sets the Collate (Offset Collate) mode when originals are placed in the feeder. This is useful when making multiple sets of copies, because you do not need to remember to select the Finishing mode.


Remark
  • The Auto Collate mode is available only if the optional Feeder (DADF-U1) is attached (standard equipped for the iR3245/iR3235 in some regions).

  1. Select [On] or [Off] → press [OK].
  • If A4, B5, or A5 originals are enlarged onto A3 or B4 copy paper, Auto Orientation is not performed even if you select [On].
  • Only the images of standard size originals, up to A4 paper, can be rotated when the copy ratio is set to 100%.
