When a copy job is placed in the ADF the output may be slightly less due to dust on the glass, or slightly askew, etc. <BR/><BR/>Also, the ADF is another motor, another moving part that does not need to be engaged if the job is printed directly. And the lenses or "digital camera" aspects of a copier are not used in a directly printed job - there is no need to take an image of the document.<BR/><BR/>I guess an argument can be made to use a copier in the way you suggest, that is if the copier is an analog(yikes).<BR/><BR/>And of course, if the digital device is not connected, everything above is for naught, but then it would fall into my original pet-peeve of "not using the devices or programs to their full capacity -"Greg_Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110815199532873459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734830559796197063.post-13731594757829825252008-04-08T18:30:00.000-05:002008-04-08T18:30:00.000-05:00Are you trying to say a user should print 12 copie...Are you trying to say a user should print 12 copies directly to a networked copier or print the original to the networked copier then make 12 copies of it?<BR/><BR/>My understanding is that a copy-based device can copy a job more efficiently than it can print the same number of copies. (I'm not sure how it relates to a print-based device.) So, if that understanding is true then there are times when you'd want to print a large document out first on a print-based device, then copy it on a copy-based device.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
