Easy Copy

One tap copying. After the user taps this action, the page is immediately copied. You can define the copy parameters in MyQ.

With the Easy Copy feature, users do not have to go to the often complicated and confusing copy screen of the printing device — they can copy directly from the MyQ terminal home screen with a single touch. Upon tapping the button, MyQ can simply proceed copying using the default settings of the printing device, or it can use different values of the Easy Copy action parameters.

The Easy Copy default settings of the printing device can be configured in the HP Web UI, in Copy/Print > Copy Settings > Default Job Options (supported from MyQ HP Embedded terminal 8.2 patch 3+). After changing the parameters in the device’s web UI, the remote setup or a restart of the services is required for updating the default parameters.

If the parameter’s Value is set to Default in the MyQ web administrator interface, the terminal will replace it with the device’s default value. If the device’s default value cannot be mapped to MyQ, Default will be displayed.

By adding multiple Easy Copy action nodes and giving rights to different users or groups, you can create a variety of copying options for the selected users and groups.

On the Parameters tab, you can select from a number of options for each parameter. All parameters are dependent on the particular printing device type. Therefore, some values might not be available.

Easy Copy Parameters

• Copies - Predefine the number of copies to be available 1-99. LIMITATION: If the device default is set to more than 99, the terminal will override it to 1 (MyQ default).

• Color - Color scale of the outgoing file. You can select from the following options:

  • Color

  • Monochrome

  • Automatic

  • Default

  • Default

Limitations:

Small printers (A4)

• Size can be set to auto when the originals are put in the printer as described in the next point but setting the page size manually is recommended.

• Original orientation works as intended by MyQ settings only when the shorter edge of the page is facing the document feeder. The same orientation also applies to the glass, for all formats.

  

Large printers (A3)

• The resulting image can be cropped or have wrong orientation if the size is set to auto, but it works for the A4 format when is oriented as described below.

• Original orientation works as intended by MyQ settings when the original document is put in the printer as described (due to HP considering the top edge in different ways for some formats):

  • A4 and letter must have the longer edge facing the document feeder (or left side of the glass).

    

  • Other formats must have the shorter edge facing the document feeder (or left side of the glass).

    

• Size - Size of the scanned input. It determines the size of the scanning area; therefore, it should correspond to the actual size of the scanned paper. You can select from the following options:

  • Automatic

  • A3

  • A4

  • A6

  • B4

  • B5

  • B6

  • Folio

  • Ledger

  • Letter
