• When the automatic original detection function is operating and the original is a non-standard size (an AB size or special
size), the closest standard size may be displayed or the original size may not appear. In this event, manually set the
correct original size.
☞SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SIZE (page 30)
• When placing a non-standard size original on the document glass, you can make it easier for the size to be detected by
placing a blank sheet of 8-1/2" x 11 (A4), 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (B5), or other standard size of paper on top of the original.

Standard original placement orientations
Place originals in the document feeder tray or on the document glass so that the top and bottom of the original are
oriented as shown in the illustration. If the original is not oriented correctly and a function such as stapling is selected,
the staple positions may not be correct. For more information on placing the original, see "3. ORIGINALS" in the User's
Guide.
[Example 1]
[Example 2]
Automatic copy image rotation (Rotation Copy)
If the orientation of the original and paper are different, the original image will be automatically rotated 90 degrees to
match the paper. (When an image is rotated, a message is displayed.)
[Example]
This function operates in both auto paper selection mode and auto image mode. Rotation can be disabled using
"Rotation Copy Setting" in the System Settings (Administrator).
