3. Selecting the Paper
Paper Size
Touch [Basics] and [Paper] to show a screen that allows you to select the paper.
In the Auto Paper mode, the machine
automatically selects the paper of the optimum
size according to the size of the original being
used and zoom ratio selected for use.
Touch [Paper] on the Basic screen and then
touch [Auto Paper].
NOTES
 The original sizes that can be detected in the
Auto Paper mode are 11
×17L, Legal L, Letter
L, Letter C, 5-1/2
×8-1/2 L, B4L, and B5C. If the
Electronic Document Handler is used, A4L and
A4C can also be detected. When making copies
from originals other than these, select the
paper size.
 When using wrinkled, dog-eared, or curled
originals, select the paper size.
 When the Electronic Document Handler is
used, the machine determines the paper size
when the first original is taken up and fed in
and uses that paper size for the subsequent
originals (except in the Mixed Original
Detection mode).
Useful Tips
 This mode is efficient when you want to make
copies on paper of the same size as your
originals automatically.
 Priority settings for the initial mode can be
made using User’s Choice.
p.5-13The paper size can be set manually according to
your need.
Touch [Paper] on the Basic screen, and the
Touch Panel shows which drawer holds
which paper size.
Touch the desired paper size key.

Making Copies
Chapter 3
If the symbol , , , or
appears on the paper select key on the Touch
Panel, it means that particular drawer has been
designated for special paper.
Themachineprovidesfivedifferenttypesof
special paper setting, each having a specific
purpose as detailed below.
The setting can be made by using User’s Choice.

p.5-12
: Recycled paper
This setting precludes the Auto Paper mode. You
may be using both recycled as well as plain paper
loaded in your machine. If, for example, you make
this setting for the drawer loaded with recycled
paper, the machine does not select that particular
drawer in the Auto Paper mode. This allows you to
make copies on plain paper first.
: Disabling 2-sided copying
This setting precludes 2-sided copying.
: Cover/Inserts
This setting precludes both Auto Paper mode and
Automatic Drawer Switching. Make this setting
for the paper for cover/inserts (e.g., colored
paper), preventing that paper from being used for
other purposes.
: Cover
This setting precludes both Auto Paper mode and
Automatic Drawer Switching. Make this setting
for the paper for covers (e.g., colored paper),
preventing that paper from being used for other
purposes.:Inserts
This setting precludes both Auto Paper mode and
Automatic Drawer Switching. Make this setting
for the paper for inserts (e.g., colored paper),
preventing that paper from being used for other
purposes.
If the drawer currently selected for use runs out of
paper and there is another drawer loaded with
paper of the same size and in the same direction,
the machine automatically selects that second
drawer to continue copying.
Useful Tip
This feature is a great advantage when you need
to make a large number of copies on the same
size paper.
For example, you can make up to 3,750 copies
without interruption if all three drawers (two
drawers, each capable of holding up to 550
sheets of paper, and a third one capable of
holding up to 2,600 sheets of paper) and Multi
Bypass Tray (capable of holding up to 50 sheets
of paper) are used.
You can even make up to 7,150 copies if an
optional Large Capacity Cassette is additionally
fitted to the machine.

Note, however, that the operation is temporarily
halted in the drawer capable of holding up to
2,600 sheets of paper, when one side of this
drawer (holding up to 1,300 sheets of paper)
runs out of paper. At this time, the paper stack on
the other side must be moved to resume paper
feeding. For more details, see “Moving the Paper
Stack.”
