ix
This machine makes effective use of memory in order to perform print operations
efficiently. For example, as soon as the machine has scanned the original that you
want to copy, it can immediately scan the next person's original. You can also print
from this machine, using a function other than the Copy function. In this machine,
these operations take place in a complex way, so that not only copies, but also
various kinds of prints may sometimes have to wait their turn before they can be
output.
To avoid confusion when reading this manual, the terms "scanning", "printing", and
"copying" used throughout this manual are defined as set out below. There are
some cases in which the scanning of an original when making a copy, and the
process of making a print, are described separately.
