The N in 1 copy feature can help you save paper by letting you copy two or four pages onto one printed page.
(MFC-6490CW) The 1 to 2 feature copies one A3 or Ledger size page onto two A4 or Letter size pages. If you use this setting, use the scanner glass.
You can also produce a poster. When you use the poster feature your machine divides your document into sections, then enlarges the sections so you can assemble them into a poster. If you want to print a poster, use the scanner glass.
