Changing Basic Copy Ratios

You can manually specify basic copy ratios, or set them automatically.

You can set a copy (zoom) ratio from 25% to 400% if you place the original on the platen glass, or from 25% to 200% if you place the original in the feeder.

IMPORTANT
Place your original horizontally when enlarging in the following ways with a preset zoom: Placing an original horizontally means setting the original with the longer side sideways. (See "Orientation.") A4 → A3 B5 → B4 A5 → A3

Press [Copy].

Press [Copy Ratio] → set the copy ratio as necessary.

IMPORTANT
[Select Paper] must be set to [Auto].

Preset Zoom:

You can use preset copy (zoom) ratios to enlarge or reduce standard size originals to other standard sizes.

Select the copy ratio.

Zoom by Percentage:

You can enlarge or reduce originals by any copy ratio in 1% increments. The same copy ratio is used for the horizontal and vertical axes.

Press [-] or [+] to specify the copy ratio.

Auto Zoom:

You can automatically enlarge or reduce an original to a specified paper size. The same copy ratio is used for the horizontal and vertical axes.

Press [Auto].

IMPORTANT
If you set [Auto], you have to select a paper size manually. If you do not select a paper size, the copy ratio is automatically set to match the size of paper loaded in paper drawer 1.

Fit to Page:

This mode slightly reduces the original when copying to paper of the same size. This enables you to avoid unwanted cropping at the edges of large images and text.

Press [Fit to Page].

Press [OK].

IMPORTANT
For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Unavailable Combination of Functions." If you are reducing A3 originals to A4 size with [Auto Orientation] set to 'Off', load A4R paper in a paper drawer or the multi-purpose tray. You cannot copy highly transparent originals, such as transparencies, in the Auto Zoom mode. Use the Preset Zoom or Zoom by Percentage mode instead. To use [Auto] for the copy ratio, your originals must conform to one of the following standard paper sizes: A3, B4, A4, A4R, B5, B5R, A5, A5R, B6, A6R (You can place A6R originals only on the platen glass. To use [Auto] for the copy ratio to A6R originals, select A6R on the original size selection screen that appears.)

NOTE
If the output size differs from your specified copy ratio, you can adjust it using [Fine Adjust Zoom] in [Adjustment/Maintenance] (Settings/Registration). (See "Fine Adjust Zoom.") The reduction ratios when [Fit to Page] is specified are: A3/B4: approximately 98% A4/B5: approximately 97% A5: approximately 96% To return the ratio to 100%, press [1:1 (100%)].
