The Zoom Behavior

Introduction

When you carry out a copy job or scan job, you can use the [Zoom] function to reduce or enlarge an image, for example:

  • Copy an A4 original on an A3 sheet. The system enlarges the image.

  • Copy an A3 original on an A4 sheet. The system reduces the image.

  • Copy an A4 original with a small illustration on an A4 sheet, and at the same time enlarge the illustration.

By factory default, the [Zoom] function is set to [Fit to page]. To change the zoom factor manually, touch the - and + buttons of the [Zoom] function.

The zoom function for originals in the automatic document feeder is different from the zoom function for originals on the glass plate.
