Selecting the Type of Original for Copying

You can select the optical image quality for the copy depending on the original type, such as text-only documents, documents with charts and graphs, or magazine photos.

 

 

Touch Panel Model
<Copy> <Original Type> Select the original type
5 Lines LCD Model
(COPY/SCAN) <Original Type> Select the original type
<Text> Suitable when copying originals that only contain text.
<Text/Photo (High Speed)> Suitable when copying originals that contain both text and photos. Priority is given to speed over image quality.
<Text/Photo> Suitable when copying originals that contain both text and photos.
<Photo> Suitable when copying originals that contain printed photos, such as magazines or pamphlets.

 

 

NOTE
  • If <Text/Photo (High Speed)>, <Text/Photo>, or <Photo> is selected while <Density> is set to <Auto Density>, density setting changes to Manual Density.

 

Adjusting Density

Adjust the density of the scan if the text or images in an original are excessively light or dark. You can also automatically set an optimal density for an original.

 

 

<Density> Adjust the density <Apply> ()
Manual Density
Adjust the density manually.
<Auto Density>
An optimal density for the original is automatically set. <Original Type> is automatically set to <Text>.

 

Enlarging or Reducing

You can enlarge or reduce copies by using a preset copy ratio such as <129% STMT->LTR>, or by setting a custom copy ratio in increments of 1 %.
NOTE
  • If you make a setting for <N on 1> after setting the copy ratio, the setting of reduction ratio in <N on 1> takes priority.

 

 

<Copy Ratio> Select the copy ratio

 

 

 

 

<Custom Ratio>
You can set any copy ratio from 25 to 400% in 1% increments.
Preset copy ratio
Select a copy ratio.

 

Copying Multiple Documents onto One Sheet (N on 1)

You can copy two or four documents onto a single sheet at a reduced size. This decreases the number of pages, enabling you to save paper.
NOTE
  • Using <N on 1> reduces the copy ratio automatically (the copy ratio is displayed on the screen). You can increase or further reduce the copy ratio before pressing , but the edges of the original might not be copied if you increase it.
  • <N on 1> is not available when using <Paper Save> (), <ID Card Cpy>/<ID Card Copy>, or <Passprt Cpy>/<Passport Copy>.
  • When you copy multiple originals onto one page, margins may be created in the copied image.
REFERENCE
  • Using the <Paper Save> () enables you to combine 2-sided copying and <N on 1>. For details, see the "User's Guide" from the Canon website (https://oip.manual.canon).

 

 

Touch Panel Model
<Copy> <N on 1> Select <2 on 1> or <4 on 1> Select the original size on the <Scan Size> screen
5 Lines LCD Model
(COPY/SCAN) <N on 1> Select <2 on 1> or <4 on 1> Select the original size on the <Scan Size> screen

 

 

 

 

Number of pages to be combined
Select the number of pages to be combined on one side of paper. For example, <4 on 1> means that "a four-page original can be combined on a single sheet."
<Select Layout>
Specify how to arrange the originals on the page.
