You can enlarge an image and copy it to multiple sheets of paper to create a large poster by joining the sheets together. There are two methods for copying to multiple sheets of paper; specifying the copy ratio only, and specifying the number of sheets of paper to use.
You cannot create a poster using custom size paper, envelopes, or transparencies.
Place your original on the platen glass. The Poster mode cannot be used if the original is placed in the feeder.
If you set <Poster> while the color mode is set to <Auto (Color/B&W)>, <Select Color> is automatically set to <Full Color>. Basic Copy Operations
Copy Ratio and Paper Settings
The following table indicates an estimate of the original size and copy ratio for different size posters and the optimal paper size and number of sheets to use. Refer to this table when entering the copy ratio and when specifying the paper size and number of sheets.

You can create a poster using an original size and copy ratio not indicated in this table, but the maximum copy ratio is 400%, and the original size that can be used is as follows. 120 V machine: 11" x 17" 230 V machine: A3
Since the poster is output after being divided into the optimal number of sheets, fewer sheets may be output than the number you specify.
The poster size after the copied sheets are joined will be slightly smaller than the value in the table.
TIPS
Joining the copied sheets
The copied sheets have areas where the images overlap ( and ), as indicated in the diagram below. When joining the sheets together, cut these areas to an appropriate width and glue them together.
The width of the areas where the images overlap differs according to the copy ratio and paper size.
Specifying the Copy Ratio
Specify the ratio for enlarging the image to create a poster. The optimal paper size and number of sheets are automatically selected according to the original size and copy ratio.
Specify the copy ratio using the buttons on the screen or the numeric keys.

Press (Start).
Copying starts.
Specifying the Paper Size to Use and Number of Sheets
If you want to create a poster by selecting the paper because you want to use paper in the multi-purpose tray or if there is only a specific size of paper loaded in the machine, it is necessary to specify the paper size and number of sheets.
