Combined Copying
This mode can be used to select a reproduction ratio automatically and copy the originals onto a single sheet of copy paper.
The machine selects a reproduction ratio between 25 and 400%. If the orientation of the original is different from that of the copy paper, the machine will automatically rotate the image by 90 degrees to make copies properly.
If you selected [2 Sided] for [Original:] or [Combine 2 Sides] for [Copy], you can change the orientation. For details, see Specifying the Original and Copy Orientation.
