Selecting the Paper Size

You can set the machine to automatically select the paper size (Automatic Paper Selection) or can manually specify the paper size (Manual Paper Selection).

The Automatic Paper Selection mode is applied as default and is suitable when you copy standard size originals on standard size paper. Use the Manual Paper Selection mode when you copy special types of originals (such as nonstandard size originals) whose sizes the machine cannot automatically detect. Also, by using the Manual Paper Selection mode with the Auto Zoom mode, you can make an enlarged or reduced copy to fit the image on the paper size you select. (Auto Zoom)

NOTE
If you are copying an original with an image that extends all the way to the edges onto the same size paper at a copy ratio of 100%, the periphery of the original image may be slightly cut off on the copy. For more information on how much may be cut off, see Appendix. If you select [Envelope], [Transparency], or [Labels] as the paper type, you cannot use the Finishing modes (Rotate, Offset, or Staple). The default setting is ‘Auto’.

When you copy nonstandard size originals, the machine cannot automatically select the same size paper as that of the original’s. To copy nonstandard size originals, manually select the paper size. (Manual Paper Selection) The machine automatically detects the size of the originals to select the optimal paper size. 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 the imageRUNNER 2545i/2545/2535i/2535) For these originals, specify the size of the originals after pressing (Start) as indicated in step 4 (when placing originals on the platen glass), or copy these originals by manually selecting the paper source instead. (Manual Paper Selection) You cannot use the Automatic Paper Selection mode for copying when: You are copying in the Auto Zoom, Image Combination, or ID Card Copy mode. The Drawer Eligibility For APS/ADS setting is set to ‘On’ for only one paper source for [Copy]. (Configuring the Machine's Basic Settings)
