Changing Basic Copy Ratios

You can manually specify basic copy ratios, or set them automatically.

You can set a copy (zoom) ratio from 25% to 400%.

IMPORTANT
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. (See "Orientation.") A4 → A3 A5 → A3

Press

→ [Copy].

Press [Copy Ratio] → set the copy ratio as necessary.

IMPORTANT
[Select Paper] must be set to [Auto].

Preset Zoom:

You can use preset copy (zoom) ratios to enlarge or reduce standard size originals to other standard sizes.

Select the copy ratio.

Zoom by Percentage:

You can enlarge or reduce originals by any copy ratio in 1% increments. The same copy ratio is used for the horizontal and vertical axes.

Press [-] or [+] to specify the copy ratio.

Auto Zoom:

You can automatically enlarge or reduce an original to a specified paper size. The same copy ratio is used for the horizontal and vertical axes.

Press [Auto].

IMPORTANT
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 the right paper deck of the main unit.

Fit to Page:

This mode slightly reduces the original when copying to paper of the same size. This enables you to avoid unwanted cropping at the edges of large images and text.

Press [Fit to Page].

Press [OK].

IMPORTANT
If you are reducing A3 originals to A4 size with [Auto Recognize Original Orientation] set to 'Off', load A4R paper in a paper deck. You cannot copy highly transparent originals, such as transparencies, in the Auto Zoom mode. Use the Preset Zoom or Zoom by Percentage mode instead. To use [Auto], your originals must conform to one of the following standard paper sizes: A3, A4, A4R, A5, A5R, or A6R. (You can place A6R originals only on the platen glass.)

IMPORTANT

If you are reducing A3 originals to A4 size with [Auto Recognize Original Orientation] set to 'Off', load A4R paper in a paper deck.

You cannot copy highly transparent originals, such as transparencies, in the Auto Zoom mode. Use the Preset Zoom or Zoom by Percentage mode instead.

To use [Auto], your originals must conform to one of the following standard paper sizes:

A3, A4, A4R, A5, A5R, or A6R. (You can place A6R originals only on the platen glass.)

NOTE
If the output size differs from your specified copy ratio, you can adjust it using [Fine Adjust Zoom] in [Adjustment/Maintenance] (Settings/Registration). (See "Zoom Fine Adjustment.") The reduction ratios when [Fit to Page] is specified are: A3: approximately 98% A4: approximately 97% A5: approximately 96% To return the ratio to 100%, press [1:1 (100%)].
