Why should you use the COPY JOB function?

• A. To archive a completed job
• B. To create jobs with minor differences within a cell, and to avoid corrupting the original during extensive edits
• C. To duplicate a job to increase storage usage
• D. To merge two jobs into one

Answer: (B)

Copying a job creates a safe working duplicate of an existing program, so you can try changes without touching the original. This is essential when you need several slight variations within a cell or when edits would be extensive, because the original stays intact as a reliable baseline. If you run into mistakes during heavy edits or want to test different paths, speeds, or offsets, only the copy is modified, keeping your working program clean and revertible. Once you’re happy with a variation, you can compare or finalize, but you always have the original as a reference. Archiving is about preserving completed work, not enabling safe edits; duplicating to increase storage or merging two jobs are separate actions with different purposes.
