Enlarging / Reducing Images

You can set the machine to adjust the copy ratio automatically, or you can specify the copy ratio manually.

Preset Zoom

The machine offers a variety of preset copy ratios to reduce or enlarge standard size originals to another standard paper size.
IMPORTANT
Place the originals horizontally (in landscape orientation) in the following cases:
If you are enlarging A4 originals to A3
If you are enlarging A5 originals to A3
If you are reducing A3 originals to A4 with Auto Orientation in Copy Settings (from the Additional Functions screen) set to ‘Off’, load A4R paper in a paper drawer or the stack bypass.
NOTE
For instructions on how to place originals, see Basic Operations.

Auto Zoom

You can set the machine to automatically select the appropriate copy ratio based on the size of the original and the selected copy paper. The copy ratio is set within the range of 25% to 400%.
IMPORTANT
You cannot use the Auto setting on the Copy Ratio screen with the Automatic Paper Selection mode.
To use the Auto setting on the Copy Ratio screen, your originals must conform to one of the following standard sizes:
A4, A4R, A3, A5, or A5R (Place A5R originals into the feeder.)
The machine automatically detects the size of the originals to generate the optimal copy ratio. However, the machine cannot detect the size of the following originals:
Nonstandard size originals
Highly transparent originals, such as transparencies
Originals with an extremely dark background
A5R or smaller than A5 originals that are placed on the platen glass (A5 originals are available on imageRUNNER 2545i)
For these originals, specify the size of the originals after pressing  (Start) as indicated in step 6 (when placing originals on the platen glass), or copy these originals by manually selecting the paper size and copy ratio instead. (Manual Paper Selection, Preset Zoom, Zoom by Percentage)

When the machine cannot detect the size of the original placed on the platen glass (the copy ratio is generated when the size is manually specified on step 6.)
