CHECKING THE ORIGINAL SIZE
When [Auto] appears in the [Original] key, the size of the placed original is automatically detected. The machine automatically
detects the original size when an original is placed and displays the size in the [Original] key in the base screen.
Example of base screen

• 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.
(page 2-29)
• 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 8-1/2" x 11 (A4), 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (B5), or other standard size of paper on top of the original.
(A) "Auto" appears when the automatic original detection function is
