3.1 Flow of Image Data During Copying
3.1.1 Local Copying
Local copying occurs when the machine is selected as the printer on its control panel.
Data flows as shown in local copying mode. All data is first written to the hard disk, and
is read and sent to the printer unit page by page until all copying jobs end; in other words,
steps (6) through (10) in the figure are repeated until all jobs are done.
