Selecting Color Copying or Black and White Copying
You can select the color mode for copying. For example, this enables you to save toner by copying color originals in black and white, or copying tickets with a single color such as red or blue to indicate the date they are distributed.
1
Press <Select Color>.
2
Select the color to copy with.
 <Auto (Color/B&W)>
Automatically detects the color of the original. Color pages are copied in four colors (CMYK), and black and white pages are copied in black (K) only.
 <Full Color>
Copies in four colors (CMYK), regardless of the color of the original.
 <Black & White>
Copies in black (K) only, regardless of the color of the original.
 <Two Colors>
Copies in black and the color you specify. Select <Red>, <Green>, <Blue>, <Yellow>, <Magenta>, or <Cyan>.
You can set whether to replace a chromatic color other than the specified color (or approximate color) with black or the specified color. <Chromatic Color Conversion for Two Colors Printing>
 <Single Color>
Copies with the color you specify only. Select <Red>, <Green>, <Blue>, <Yellow>, <Magenta>, or <Cyan>.
Example: If you copy with red
3
Press <OK>.
Even if <Auto (Color/B&W)> is set, the color of the original may not be detected correctly.
A black-and-white original may be scanned in the color mode, depending on the state of the original and its background. If this happens, set the color mode to <Black & White>.
A color original may be scanned in the black-and-white mode, depending on the state of the original. If this happens, set the color mode to <Full Color>.
When the Auto (Color/B&W) mode is set, black-and-white copies are output at the same speed as color copies.
If a black-and-white document is copied in the <Full Color>, <Single Color>, or <Two Colors> mode, it is counted as a color copy.
If you scan different sized originals without setting the Different Size Originals mode or selecting a non-standard paper size as the paper size, the machine may not be able to detect whether your originals are color or black-and-white.
Enlarging or Reducing Copies
 
You can enlarge or reduce copies from standard paper sizes to other standard paper sizes.
 
 
 
 
You can enlarge or reduce by specifying the copy ratio (%). You can specify the vertical and horizontal ratios individually.
 
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
 
You can enlarge or reduce to automatically fit the paper size selected.
Enlarging or Reducing Copies with Standard Paper Sizes
1
Press <Copy Ratio>.
2
To reduce, select the copy ratio from , to enlarge, select the copy ratio from , and press <OK>.
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.*
LTR → 11" x 17"
STMT → 11" x 17"
A4 or LTR → A3
B5 → B4
A5 → A3
* The paper sizes shown may differ depending on the model or region.
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 original, 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 Indep.> 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
Enlarging and Reducing Copies to Fit Paper Size
1
Press <Select Paper>.
2
Select paper and press <OK>.
3
Press <Copy Ratio>.
4
Press <Auto>  <OK>.
When copying in equal copy ratio to paper that has the same size as the original, the edges of the copied image may be slightly missing. To avoid this, reduce the size of the image by pressing <Copy Ratio>  <Fit to Page> to obtain the missing edges of the image.
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.
Selecting Copy Paper
 
If you want to copy free size originals or highly transparent originals, or if you want to copy with paper set in the multi-purpose tray, you need to select paper manually.
1
Press <Select Paper>.
2
Select paper and press <OK>.
Pressing enables you to confirm detailed information of the paper selected.
When the screen to select the size of the original is displayed
If <Select Paper> is set to <Auto>, the screen to select the size of the original may be displayed. This is displayed because the size of the original cannot be verified and paper cannot be selected automatically when highly transparent originals, originals with extremely dark base color, or small-size originals are placed. Select the size of the original, or a size close to the original.
If <Paper Source Auto Selection> 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 Source Auto Selection>
Also, even if <Paper Source Auto Selection> 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. If a service repair is needed, contact your dealer or service representative.
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 originals on both sides of the paper. You can also copy a 2-sided original on both sides of the paper, or on two separate sheets.
Place the original in a proper orientation as shown in the illustrations below.
Originals of heavy or thin paper cannot be placed in the feeder. Place the original on the platen glass. In this case, place the original 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.
Select one of the following paper sizes when using <Book  2-Sided>.
LTR, EXEC, A4 or B5

Reserving a copy
Scanning 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.
