Book copying How do you copy a book on this copier and get both pages but on separate pieces of paper? The previous copier had such a feature but for the life of me, I can not figure out how to do it on this one without have to physically pick up the book and move it which sort of defeats the purpose, really. Help

See if your copier has "Book mode" if so it's scanning you original and looking and scanning for an open book, i.e. page left on glass and page Right (two) on glass. Like you had a book flattened out on the glass. Make any since? #2 possible malfunction in print button. #3. Are sheets coming out stuck together or do they appear to be two separate scans?

Hi
If you go here:- MX M503N MXM503N Digital Copier Printer Archive Sharp you will get to a page with a list of manuals etc which you can download in pdf formet and which you will be able to use to find out how to do what you want. If you search "book", then there are a variety of options that are described.
I think you should be aware that copying a book in this way is subject to copyright laws.
Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya

Hi Kim,
there are a couple of easy ways to tackle this problem. you have a book that when the spline is opened exposes 2 pages to the glass for the possibility of copying. What YOU need to determine is whether or not you want page 1 to ouput seperately from page 2, or , would you like page one to be on one side and page 2 to be on the second side. In other words auto duplex. That decision determines which feature you will use. I will walk you thru both. I realize you want the copier to scan the first page and then scan the second without you having to move the book around. I'm thinking you would be happy if the copier did that very thing and you wound up with a 2 sided copy with page 1 on the front and page 2 on the back. Here we go. Fom the main copy display locate the 2 sided button and select it. Select "book 2 sided" and follow the prompts. You could actually copy the entire book this way and when you are thru press "done" and here comes the avalanche!
If you want the images 1 sided on seperate sheets (not sure why) you can select "special features" from the display in the lower right corner and select "2 page seperation". same drill.

If you copy something that is smaller than the paper you are printing on, this will happen, especially with a book. The copier will copy everything within the sensor range, and if there are no area to copy, it will scan in the blank space. With a book, the cover will be elevated, and the sensor will pick up the "black" border you are talking about and copy it to the paper.

maybe it would help if you try not to use the automatic paper select button or use the manual paper select try. set it to 11 x 8.5

Hello,

You have a dirty scanner glass strip. If you open the cover like you are going to scan a book on the lft side you will see a strip of glass separate from the larger piece. This glass is the area use when you use the paper feed assembly. Dampen a piece of paper towel with window cleaner and wipe the glass strip. You may need to clean it several times if there is dried ink or something on it. Allow about 2 minutes to dry and then copy or scan something and it should be much better.

I hope this helps, If so please rate my solution.

depends on the copier most if you place the book under the doc feeder and put the first page to be copied with the edge on the position plate you copy theat page and then move the boo over so the centre is on the edge of the glass copying are it should copy that page .. if you hve a large copier if you put the book in the centre marker and select the combine book feature it will scan all the book put one page on one sheet and the other after .. can you put up the details of your machine for us

Set your original settings to the actual size.
You are using the auto recognition feature which is over-ridden when you specify the size manually.
It will try to match it to the nearest size it "knows". That is why the stamp is detecting so large.

By using the Duplex button on your machine, you can set the machine to
print copies on both sides of paper.
1 Press Duplex.
2 Load originals face up in the ADF.
3 Press the Scroll buttons until the binding option you want appears.
• Off: Prints in Normal mode.
• 1->2Side Short: Prints pages to be read by flipping like a note
pad.
• 1->2Side Long: Prints pages to be read like a book.
• 2->1Side: Scans both sides of the original and prints each of them
on separate two papers. (SCX-6322DN only)
• 2->2Side: Scans both sides of the original and prints them on both
sides of a paper, this function produce exactly the same print out
from the original. (SCX-6322DN only)
• 2->1Side Rotate2: Scans both sides of the original and prints one
of them on separate two papers, but the information on back side
of the original is printed 180° rotated. (SCX-6322DN only)
4 Press OK to save your selection.
If the mode is enabled, the Duplex button is backlit.

Collation

You can set the machine to sort the copy job. For
example, if you make 2 copies of a 3 page original,
one complete 3 page document will print followed by a
second complete document.
1 Press Copy.
2 Load originals face up into the ADF.
For details about loading an original, see
page 5.1.
3 Enter the number of copies using the number
keypad.
4 Press Menu until Copy Feature appears on the
bottom line of the display and press OK.
5 Press OK when Copy Collation appears.
6 Press the Scroll buttons to select Yes.
7 Press OK or Start to begin copying.
One complete document will print

You can not enlarge when set to book copy since the machine is not able to rotate the image to fit on bigger size of paper.you need a machine with rotation feature like the Sharp ar-5127 with a dual function board.
