IMPORTANT
For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Combination of Functions Chart."
NOTE
Take care when copying an original with an image that extends all the way to the edges at a copy ratio of 100%. If you copy onto the same size paper, the periphery of the original image may be cut off slightly on the copy. For more information on how much may be cut off, see "Appendix" in the "Before Using This Machine."
If you select the Fit to Page mode, the copied image is automatically reduced slightly based on the copy paper size and the image size. As a result, the entire original image is reproduced on the copy without being cut off.
If [Register Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults] is set to 'On' in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration), the stored default values appear. (See "Registering Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults.")
