Printing Use a printer to print out the image that has been drawn on the sheet surface. Operations and names of parts differ from printer to printer. For details of operations, see your printer’s operat- ing instructions. Preparing the Printer Please check that the copyboard and the printer have been connected.
Printing This function prints the sheet screen of the copyboard on the printer connected to the copyboard. Note • Text (titles, the company name, the date, etc.) or images can be inserted in the M-12S/M-12W margins at the top and bottom of the pages and the same information printed on all pages.
Page 20
Printing Step 2 (continued) Notice • If the display content of the page indicator does not agree with that of the actual page, move the copyboard to either Page 1 or the S page. (Model M-125) • For model M-125, do not move the sheet surface by hand. Doing so could damage the copyboard.
Printing When the copyboard is not going to be used, press the ON/Standby button and switch off the power (standby mode). • Switch off the printer power. Note • When the Erase Reminder function is set to "Enable" When the ON/Standby button is pressed, the display window and all the indicators flash simultaneously, the sheet automatically moves to the surface that is not yet erased and the power turns off.
Printing continued from previous page M-12S/M-12W Stopping the printing after the Print button was pressed and the reading completed Stopping the process when multiple copies are being made when making addi- tional copies (When the Reprint button has been pressed) Press the copyboard’s ON/Standby button.
Printing Printing in the same ratio as the sheet surface (Model M-12W) The M-12W has a wide screen, so when printing, the image is reduced in the horizontal direction and printed over the entire sur- face of the A4 sheet (so for example circles become ovals). If you wish to print with the same vertical-to-horizontal aspect ratio as the sheet surface (with the same image as on the sheet), change the printing ratio.
Using USB Memory The content of what has been drawn on the sheet surface of the copyboard can be saved in USB memory. Later, the saved image can be read into a personal computer and made into a document of the proceedings of the meeting, or affixed to a document.
