how do I make copies?

If you are copying a freshly printed plot, make sure that it has dried completely before placing the document in the scanner insertion slot. If it is not dry, you could damage your plot and dirty the glass plate on your scanner.

Remember to set your printer media width in your copy system software. See How do I set the printer media width?
