Specify whether or not to automatically select the paper input location loaded with the paper of the size determined by the setting in "47. Method to Determine Orig. Size".
Off
Paper input location is not selected automatically.
Long Edge
The paper size is automatically determined based on the setting in "47. Method to Determine Orig. Size" and the paper input location is selected according to the long-edge length of the data.
Long Edge and R/E Ratio
The paper size is automatically determined based on the setting in "47. Method to Determine Orig. Size" and the paper input location is selected according to both the long-edge and short-edge lengths of the data.
For RP-GL/2, the data can be rotated to fit on the paper as required when printing.
Select "Long Edge and R/E Ratio" also for automatic selection of a paper input location when "100%" is not set in "20. Reproduction Ratio".
Specify Paper Size & Auto R/E
Select a paper size you want to use for printing from the following settings:
A0 / Full Size, A1 / Full Size, A2 / Full Size, A3 / Full Size, A4 / Full Size, A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, B1 JIS / Full Size, B2 JIS / Full Size, B3 JIS / Full Size, B4 JIS / Full Size, B1 JIS, B2 JIS, B3 JIS, B4 JIS, LT / Full Size, DL / Full Size, LG / Full Size, 12 x 18 / Full Size, 9 x 12 / Full Size, 36 x 48 / Full Size, 34 x 44 / Full Size, 30 x 42 / Full Size, 24 x 36 / Full Size, 22 x 34 / Full Size, 21 x 30 / Full Size, 18 x 24 / Full Size, 17 x 22 / Full Size, LT, DL, LG, 12 x 18, 9 x 12, 36 x 48, 34 x 44, 30 x 42, 24 x 36, 22 x 34, 21 x 30, 18 x 24, 17 x 22
The scaling ratio is automatically specified based on the settings for "47. Method to Determine Orig. Size" and "39. Margin Adjustment for Auto R/E", and the paper input location selected according to the long-edge and short-edge lengths of the data.
When any setting without "/ Full Size" in its name is selected:
If the data size is larger than the specified paper size, the data is reduced to fit the paper for printing.
If the data size is smaller than the set paper size, the machine behavior differs depending on whether or not the setting value contains "/ Full size".

Long Edge & R/E Ratio (Size Adjust)
A paper input location is automatically selected from the available locations, including those loaded with custom-sized paper, according to the sent data size and reproduction ratio, and based on the setting in "47. Method to Determine Orig. Size".
Paper input locations with regular sized paper are given priority under automatic selection. A custom size is selected if there is no regular size suitable for the data size, or all available regular sizes are larger than the size calculated by adding the value selected on the submenu to the data size. If a custom size is selected, the paper input location loaded with paper which prints minimum margins is used.
If both regular sizes and custom-sized paper are loaded, the value specified on the submenu is used in cases such as when printing data that is slightly smaller (print data size is in the range of regular size -150 mm) than a regular size on a regular size paper. Paper of regular sizes will be selected if a larger submenu value is specified.
Default: Long Edge and R/E Ratio
For RP-GL/2, the effective settings are "Off", "Long Edge", "Long Edge and R/E Ratio", "Specify Paper Size & Auto R/E", and "Long Edge & R/E Ratio (Size Adjust)".
For RP-GL, the effective settings are "Long Edge and R/E Ratio", "Specify Paper Size & Auto R/E", and "Long Edge & R/E Ratio (Size Adjust)". Selecting "Off" and "Long Edge" is invalid. When "Off" or "Long Edge" is selected, the data is printed on the paper fed from the currently selected paper input location.
When "Off" or "Long Edge" is selected in RP-GL/2, the configuration for "5. Axis Rotation" is valid. Furthermore, normal printing may not be performed if the paper is set in a long-edge orientation in some cases.
The setting in "20. Reproduction Ratio" is ignored if "Specify Paper Size & Auto R/E" is specified.
If "PS/IP Command" is selected in "47. Method to Determine Orig. Size", the paper input location will not be automatically switched for data without the PS command in RP-GL/2 or data without the IP command in RP-GL. Select either "Entire Image" or "Long Edge" in "47. Method to Determine Orig. Size".
A PS command is used to select a printing paper size based on vertical and horizontal lengths.
An IP command specifies a scaling point, which is a value referenced by the user when a unique coordinate system is configured.
When printing GL/GL2 data created in an application, data may be output in a different size to that expected in some cases. To print the data at a regular size, select "Off", "Long Edge", or "Long Edge and R/E Ratio", or adjust the value under the "Long Edge & R/E Ratio (Size Adjust)" submenu so that the data size is correctly recognized as a regular size.
To print custom-sized data, select "Off" or "Long Edge & R/E Ratio (Size Adjust)".
If "Long Edge", "Long Edge and R/E Ratio", "Specify Paper Size & Auto R/E", or "Long Edge & R/E Ratio (Size Adjust)" is selected, the paper input location is automatically selected only from one of those loaded with the paper types selected in "46. Ppr Type for Autoselect Ppr Input". Paper input locations loaded with other paper types and the paper bypass location are not automatically selected.
