b. Operation process
[Duplex document]
c. Document size detection
<1> The document size is detected on the document set tray.
When a document is set on the document set tray with the
paper/copy magnification ratio set in the auto mode, the doc-
ument size is detected to operate the automatic selection
function of paper and copy magnification ratio for the docu-
ment size. When different sizes of documents are set in this
detection method, the max. size of document is detected.
The document width is detected with the document width
sensors (W1, W2, and W3), and the document length is
detected with the document length sensors (L1 and L2) to
determine the document size. Judgment of the document
size is made at a timing after detecting the document with the
document set sensor (W0).

Don't case: —
*1: When the document size detection is AB-2, it is detected as
B5.
*2: When the document size detection is AB-2, it is detected as
8-1/2 x 13".
*3: When the document size detection is INCH 2, it is detected as
8-1/2 x 13".
