 | You can enlarge or reduce copies from standard document sizes to other standard paper sizes. Enlarging or Reducing Copies with Standard Paper Sizes | |
 | You can enlarge or reduce by specifying the copy ratio (%). You can specify the vertical and horizontal ratios individually. Enlarging or Reducing Copies by Specifying the Copy Ratio | |
 | You can enlarge or reduce by specifying the finished dimension, and the output image is fit to the dimension. You can specify the vertical and horizontal dimensions individually. Enlarging or Reducing Copies by Specifying Dimensions | |
 | You can enlarge or reduce to automatically fit the paper size selected. Enlarging and Reducing Copies to Fit Paper Size |

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. 120 V machine: LTR → 11" x 17" STMT → 11" x 17" 230 V machine: A4 or LTR → A3 or 11" x 17" A5 or STMT → A3 or 11" x 17" |

Enlarging or Reducing Copies by Specifying the Copy Ratio
1
Press <Copy Ratio>.
2
Specify the copy ratio and press <OK>.
To specify vertical and horizontal ratios individually, press <XY Ratio> and then specify the ratios for each. Depending on the ratio, the image on the printout may be rotated by 90 degrees.
If you specified <Auto XY Ratio>, select paper in <Select Paper>. If you do not specify a paper size, the copy ratio is automatically set to match the paper loaded in paper drawer 1.

Enlarging or Reducing Copies by Specifying Dimensions
1
Press <Copy Ratio>.
2
Press <Set by Length>.
3
Enter the dimensions and press <OK>.
Press <Original Size> to enter the dimension of the document, and press <Copy Size> to enter the output dimension.
For both <Original Size> and <Copy Size>, enter either the vertical dimension or horizontal dimension. For example, if you enter the vertical dimension for <Original Size>, enter the vertical dimension for <Copy Size> as well.
To specify the vertical dimension and horizontal dimension individually, press <XY Independent> and specify the dimension for each.
The machine automatically calculates the correct copy (zoom) ratio based on the values you entered. However, the original image may be cut off slightly depending on the paper size.
The machine converts the specified sizes into a copy (zoom) ratio (%) using the following formula. (The result is rounded to the closest integer.)
Copy (zoom) ratio (%) = (copy (data output) size/original size) x 100

When copying in equal copy ratio to paper that has the same size as the original document, the edges of the copied document may be slightly missing. To avoid this, reduce the document by pressing <Copy Ratio> <Fit to Page> to obtain the missing edges of the document.If you select <Fit to Page>, <Shift> is automatically set to <Center>. You cannot scan highly transparent originals, such as transparencies, using the Auto setting for Copy Ratio. Use the Preset Zoom or Zoom by Percentage mode instead. 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. When configuring settings in <Scan and Store>You cannot specify <Fit to Page> when storing documents in the Mail Box. |

Selecting Copy Paper
 | If you want to copy free size documents or documents of high transparency, or if you want to copy with paper set in the multi-purpose tray, you need to select paper manually. |

enables you to confirm detailed information of the paper selected. |
When the screen to select document size is displayedIf <Select Paper> is set to <Auto>, the screen to select the document size may be displayed. This is displayed because the document size cannot be verified and paper cannot be selected automatically when documents of high transparency, documents with extremely dark base color, or small-size documents are placed. Select the size of the document, or a size close to the document. If <Paper Drawer Auto Selection On/Off> is set to <Off> for a particular paper source, you cannot make copies on paper loaded in that paper source when <Select Paper> is set to <Auto>. <Paper Drawer Auto Selection On/Off> Also, even if <Paper Drawer Auto Selection On/Off> is set to <On> for a paper source, depending on the paper type, automatic paper selection may not be performed. To use paper loaded in a paper drawer for which automatic paper selection cannot be performed, manually specify the paper drawer. |
|
Be sure to correctly set the paper type. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it may adversely affect image quality. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed. Take care when copying an original with an image that extends all the way to the edges. If you copy on 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 Hardware Specifications. |

2-Sided Copying
 | You can copy 1-sided documents on both sides of the paper. You can also copy a 2-sided document on both sides of the paper, or on two separate sheets. Copying 1-Sided to 2-Sided Copying 2-Sided to 2-Sided Copying 2-Sided to 1-Sided |

Place the document in a proper orientation as shown in the illustrations below.  Documents of heavy or thin paper cannot be placed in the feeder. Place the document on the platen glass. In this case, place the document in a proper orientation as shown in the illustrations below.  When making 2-sided copies, functions of some settings such as the paper size and type are limited. For more information, see Hardware Specifications. |

Each time you copy, press <Options> on the Copy Basic Features screen select <Detect Feeder Multi Sheet Fd.> to disable the setting. Set <Set Detection of Feeder Multi. Sheet Feed as Default> to <Off> (<Set Detection of Feeder Multi. Sheet Feed as Default>). |
TIPS |
Reserving a copyScanning can be performed in advance, even if the machine is preparing to print or printing. This function is called "Reserved copy." For example, to perform reserved copy while the printing or waiting screen is displayed, press <Close>, specify the copy settings in the usual manner, and press (Start).You can specify up to 50 jobs to be reserved, including the current job. Interrupt copy jobs are not included in this count. |
