Copying different paper sizes

Use the ADF to copy original documents with different paper sizes. Depending on the paper sizes loaded and the “Copy to” and “Copy from” settings, each copy is either printed on mixed paper sizes (Example 1) or scaled to fit a single paper size (Example 2).

    Example 1: Copying on mixed paper sizes

  1. Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF tray or facedown on the scanner glass.

    Notes:

    • Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF tray. Place these items on the scanner glass.
    • The ADF indicator light comes on when the paper is loaded properly.

  2. If you are loading a document into the ADF tray, then adjust the paper guides.

  3. From the home screen, navigate to:

    Copy > Copy from > Mixed Sizes > 

  4. Navigate to:

    Copy to > Auto Size Match >  > Copy It

    The scanner identifies the different paper sizes as they are scanned. Copies are printed on mixed paper sizes corresponding to the paper sizes of the original document.

    Example 2: Copying on a single paper size

  1. Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF tray or facedown on the scanner glass.

    Notes:

    • Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF tray. Place these items on the scanner glass.
    • The ADF indicator light comes on when the paper is loaded properly.

  2. If you are loading a document into the ADF tray, then adjust the paper guides.

  3. From the home screen, navigate to:

    Copy > Copy from > Mixed Sizes > 

  4. Navigate to:

    Copy to > Letter >  > Copy It

    The scanner identifies the different paper sizes as they are scanned, and then scales the mixed paper sizes to fit on the paper size selected.
