4 CHECKING THE SIZE OF A PLACED
ORIGINAL
If the placed original is a standard size, the size will be automatically
detected (automatic original detection function) and displayed in the touch
panel. Make sure that the correct size has been detected.
(A) : The original size is displayed.
(B) : [AUTO] appears when the automatic original detection function is 
operating.
If you have loaded a non-standard size original or wish to change the
scanning size, you can follow the steps below to manually set the original
scanning size. (For the standard sizes, see Original size detection
function on page 4-3.)
Manually setting the scanning size
If you load an original that is not a standard size (such as an INCH size), or if the size is not detected correctly, you
must touch the [ORIGINAL] key and set the original size manually. Perform the following steps after placing the
document in the automatic document feeder or on the document glass.
1Touch the [ORIGINAL] key.
2Touch the desired original size key.
[AUTO] is no longer
highlighted. [MANUAL]
and the original size key
you touched are
highlighted.
If you wish to select an INCH size, touch
the [AB/INCH] key and then touch the
desired original size key.
[INCH] is highlighted
and INCH size keys are
displayed. To return to
the AB palette, touch the
[AB/INCH] key once
again.
If a non-standard size original is placed in
the document feeder or on the document
glass, touch the [SIZE INPUT] tab and then
enter the X (width) and Y (length)
dimensions of the original.
X is initially selected.
Enter the X dimension
(width) and then touch
the Y( ) key and enter
the Y dimension (length).
X can be from 64 to 432
mm, and Y can be from
64 to 297 mm.
If you frequently use originals that are the same
non-standard size,  you can store the size as
explained in STORING, DELETING, AND USING
ORIGINAL SIZESon the following page. This will
save you the trouble of manually entering the size
each time you use that original size.
3Touch the [OK] key.
You will return to the initial screen.
4The selected original size appears in the
top half of the [ORIGINAL] key.
