COPY FUNCTIONS

Auto paper select mode

When auto paper select mode is enabled, "AUTO" appears in the paper size display. This function automatically
selects paper that is the same size as the original (A5, B5, B5R, A4, A4R, B4, A3, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", 8-1/2" x 11",
8-1/2" x 11"R, 8-1/2" x 13", 8-1/2" x 14", 11" x 17" paper).

• If a zoom setting is selected after placing the original, the paper size that is appropriate for the zoom setting will

be automatically selected.

• Auto paper select mode is cancelled if the auto zoom select function (page 52) is enabled or if a paper tray is

selected with the [PAPER SELECT] key. Auto paper select resumes operation when the [CA] key is pressed or when
"Auto clear" activates. Auto paper select mode can be disabled in the key operator programs. (Page 88)

Removing the document cover

To copy large originals like newspapers, remove the
document cover. To remove the cover, lift it straight
up as shown. To replace the cover, do the reverse.
The SPF cannot be removed.

Copying books or originals with folds or
creases

Press down on the SPF (or document cover) while
copying as shown. If the SPF (or document cover) is
not completely closed, shadows may appear on the
copy or it may be fuzzy. Straighten originals with
folds or creases well before placing.

Originals that can be used in the SPF

Originals from A5 to A3 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17") in
size and 56

to 90

(15 lbs. to 24 lbs.) in weight

can be used. A maximum of 40 pages can be placed at
once. For originals that are B4 or larger (8-1/2" x 14" or
larger), a maximum of 30 pages can be placed at once.

Originals that cannot be used in the SPF

The following originals cannot be used: These may
cause misfeeds or smudging and unclear images.

• Transparencies, tracing paper, other transparent

or translucent paper, and photographs.

• Carbon paper, thermal paper.
• Originals that are creased, folded, or torn.
• Glued originals, cut-out originals.
• Originals with binder holes.
• Originals printed using an ink ribbon (thermal transfer

printing), originals on thermal transfer paper.

Points concerning the position of the printed copy image

Even if the same original is copied onto the same type of paper, differences in the original size, scanning location
(document glass or document feeder tray), selected paper tray, enlargement/reduction ratio, and other conditions
may cause the position of the printed copy image on the paper to vary.
As shown in the following example, when an original smaller than the paper size (for example, A5 original and A3
paper) is copied from the document glass, the position of the printed copy image on the paper is different when
paper from tray 1 is used (1) and paper from the bypass tray is used (2).

• Make sure that there are no paper

clips or staples on the original.

• Straighten curled originals before placing

them in the document feeder tray. Curled
originals may cause misfeeds.

• If the margin shift function is being

used, the margin shift settings may
need to be changed. (Page 68)
