Benefits of technology

This approach reduces the need for repeated test prints, allows efficient comparison of options, and minimizes resource waste by enabling users to select the best print settings directly, resulting in optimized image output with reduced toner consumption.

Problems solved by technology

However, setting copy options separately for each test copy causes the user to experience an inconvenience.
In the above example, the user may end up repeating a previous set of copy options to print a test copy that has already been printed, since the user cannot remember all of the previous sets of copy options.
Consequently, such useless test copies only waste paper and toner of the photocopier.
