Repeating the Original Image over the Entire Area of Paper When Copying

You can place duplicates of the scanned original on a single sheet of paper when copying (Repeat). To copy an original to a size smaller than the minimum size that can be copied on the machine, copy the original by combining Reduce copy and Repeat, and then cut the copied paper.
