Media reproduction systems and methods of operating media reproduction systems

One or more computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by a reproduction device, cause the reproduction device to:

• receive multiple pages for reproduction, the multiple pages all having length dimensions that are the same and width dimensions that are the same;
• position the multiple pages within an area in the reproduction device so that they can be copied, said area having length and width dimensions, where the area's length dimension is less than the area's width dimension, said area being designated for a document having larger dimensions than dimensions of individual pages of said multiple pages, the multiple pages being positioned so that their length dimensions extend along the width dimension of the area;
• scan the multiple pages using a single scanning cycle comprising the scanning cycle of the document having the larger dimensions;
• and
• output a single reproduced page for each of the multiple pages that was scanned.

A method of operating a copier comprising:

• providing an area on a scan glass of a copier that is designated to receive a single page having first length and width dimensions;
• automatically receiving onto the area at least two pages having second length and width dimensions which are, respectively, less than the first length and width dimensions;
• and
• copying said at least two pages to provide single copied pages, one copied page for each page received onto the area.

A reproduction device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• an image engine for scanning document pages and producing copies of the scanned pages under the influence of the one or more processors;
• and
• a page feeding manager associated with the one or more processors and configured to cause pages to be fed into the reproduction device and processed by the image engine,
• the page feeding manager being configured to:
• receive multiple pages;
• and
• position the multiple pages within an area in the reproduction device so that the multiple pages can be reproduced into separate individual copies using a single scanning cycle,
• said area being designated for a document having larger dimensions than dimensions of individual pages of said multiple pages,
• said scanning cycle comprising the scanning cycle of the document having the larger dimensions.

A copier comprising:

• one or more processors
• an image engine having a scan glass for receiving document pages, the image engine being configured to scan document pages and produce copies of the pages under the influence of the one or more processors;
• a page feeding manager associated with the one or more processors and configured to cause pages to be fed into the copier and processed by the image engine, the page feeding manager being configured to:
• automatically provide onto an area of the scan glass that is designated to receive a single page having first length and width dimensions, at least two pages having length and width dimensions which are, respectively, less than the first length and width dimensions,
• the copier being configured to output corresponding single copied pages, one for each of said at least two pages.
