Enlarging or Reducing Copies with Standard Paper Sizes
1
Press <Copy Ratio>.

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"
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 Independent> and specify the dimension for each.
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.
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>.

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.
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 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 Specifications.
Only LTR or EXEC paper can be used for <Book2  Sided>.
Place your originals on the platen glass when using <Book2  Sided>. <Book2  Sided> cannot be used when the original is placed in the feeder.

Sheet Feed as Default> to <Off> (<Scan Settings> <Set Detection of Feeder Multi. Sheet Feed as Default>).
TIPS
Reserving a copy
Even while the machine is being used by someone else for copying or stopped for clearing a paper jam, you can still set and scan the next originals to copy. When the machine becomes available for use after finishing the previous operation, the next copy starts automatically. 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 .
You can specify up to 20 jobs to be reserved, including the current job. Interrupt copy jobs are not included in this count.
