Paper Selection
IMPORTANT
For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Unavailable Combination of Functions."
When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
NOTE
If you are copying an original with an image that extends all the way to the edges onto the same size paper at a copy ratio of 100%, the periphery of the original image may be cut off slightly on the copy. For more information on how much may be cut off, see Chapter 17, "Appendix," in Getting Started.
If you select the Fit to Page mode, the copied image is automatically reduced slightly based on the copy paper size and the image size. As a result, the entire original image is reproduced on the copy without being cut off. (See "Fit to Page.")
If you select [Free Size], [Custom Size], [Transparency], [Tracing], or [Labels], you cannot specify any Finishing modes (Collate, Group, or Staple).
If Register Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults in Preferences (from the Settings/Registration screen) is set to 'On', and the paper size/type have been stored, the selected paper size/type are displayed on the screen. (See "Registering Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults.")
For instructions on loading paper into the multi-purpose tray, see "Printing Using the Multi-Purpose Tray."
For more information on paper types, see "Available Paper Stock."
