Instruct customers not to mix different size originals when feeding them with
the DF-43.

Note : The same width of originals, such as A4 and A3, can be mixed in facsimile

mode only.

Reason:

With the DF-43, the original size will be detected when the originals are placed on the
original table. Therefore, when mixing different size originals on the table, the
maximum size detected will be used for all pages of the original.

Symptoms when mixing different original sizes:

In copying mode:

- The machine will select the copy paper size to match the maximum original size.

- In auto reduce/enlarge mode with the designated copy paper size, the reproduction
ratio will be selected to match the maximum original size.

In facsimile mode:

- When mixing the same width of originals, the facsimile transmission will be made
properly.

- If mixing originals with different widths, the originals with a smaller width will be
transmitted with a white margin at the left end, as originals will be scanned with the
maximum width.
