Mixed Letter / Legal Copy: With paper size sensing of documents in the ADF
or flatbed, the output paper size is printed on the corresponding paper
size such as letter to letter or legal to legal. The output can also be
automatically scaled to fit one paper size such as a letter and legal page
mix to all output as letter size.
Scan Preview: Preview the first page of a job to verify settings, document
orientation and placement to eliminate user frustration and enhance ease of

ADF, to switch easily between the ADF or flatbed when making quick copies
with the same settings, or to collate multiple copies from different
original copy sources.
Custom Job email: Provides one setting or many settings to be used for
multiple types of scans to create one document. This allows a user to scan
more than 50 pages from the ADF, to switch easily between the ADF or
flatbed with the same settings, to create a PDF that contains both B&W
and colour (including images), and to use the scan preview when creating a
scanned job.
