Making Enlarged or Reduced Copies
You can enlarge or reduce the original when copying with the following methods:
Enlarging or reducing at a specified reduction ratio or into a specified size (Zoom/Reduce/Enlarge/Size Magnification)
Enlarging or reducing according to the paper size (Auto Reduce/Enlarge)

Place the original.
Basic Procedure for Copying Documents
The base point of reduce/enlarge is different for the exposure glass and Auto Document Feeder (ADF) as shown in the following table:
Setting position | Base point | Enlarge | Reduce |
---|---|---|---|
Exposure glass | Enlarged or reduced from the top left. ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
Auto document feeder (ADF) | Enlarged or reduced from the bottom left ![]() |
When you place two-sided originals in the ADF, the top right corner of the original will be the base point for the enlargement/reduction of the reverse side. To enlarge or reduce from the same point, set the original on the exposure glass and perform 2-sided copy.
Press [Copy Ratio] and select a copy ratio or size.

Enlarging or Reducing According to the Paper Size
The original is enlarged or reduced to fit on the specified paper size (Scale to Paper Size).

When the orientations of the original and paper in the paper tray do not match, the machine rotates the copied image automatically. To reduce an original of A3 (11 × 17) size to A4 (81/2 × 11) size, for example, you can select either A4 (81/2 × 11) or A4 (81/2 × 11)
.

Reducing Slightly to Increase the Margins
The original is reduced to 93% in size and printed in the center of the paper. This setting is useful if you want to copy an original to a paper of the same size without the edges being slightly cropped when copied in full size or to increase the margins.
Press [Copy] on the Home screen.

You can change the copy ratio of [Create Margin] to a value other than 93%.
