• When the automatic original detection function is operating and the original is a non-standard size (an AB size or special size), the closest standard size may be displayed or the original size may not appear. In this event, manually set the correct original size.

☞

SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SIZE (page 32)

• When placing a non-standard size original on the document glass, you can make it easier for the size to be detected by placing a blank sheet of A4 (8-1/2" x 11), B5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2"), or other standard size of paper on top of the original.

Standard original placement orientations

Place originals in the document feeder tray or on the document glass so that the top and bottom of the original are oriented as shown in the illustration. If the original is not oriented correctly and a function such as stapling is selected, the staple positions may not be correct. For more information on placing the original, see "3. ORIGINALS" in the User's Guide.

The original is copied in full colour.

The machine automatically detects whether each original is colour or black & white and switches the mode appropriately (full colour for a colour original or black & white for a black & white original).

The original is copied in the selected colour only. All colours in the original are changed to the selected colour, which can be selected from red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, or yellow.

Only the red areas of the original are changed to the selected colour; colours other than red are copied in black. This lets you make copies that are more expressive than black and white copies. Red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, or yellow can be selected.
