NOTE
Take care when copying an original with an image that extends all the way to the edges. 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 "Before Using This Machine." If you select [Fit to Page], 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 you want to copy an A3 original with an image that extends all the way to the edges without the periphery of the original being cut off, load the stack bypass or paper deck with 330 mm x 483 mm, 305 mm x 457 mm, or 320 mm x 450 mm (SRA3) paper. (See "Optional Products/Software" or "Fit to Page:.") If you select [Free Size], [Tracing] [Transparency], or [Labels], you cannot specify any Finishing modes. 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.")
