Image Repeat

The original image is copied repeatedly.

Illustration of Image Repeat

There are two ways to specify an image to be repeated.

Whole Area Repeat

Repeatedly copies the entire image.

Specified Area Repeat

Repeatedly copies a specified area of the image.

Note

  • Depending on the paper size, ratio, and orientation, parts of repeated images may not be copied.

  • You can change the type of separation line under [Image Repeat Separation Line] in User Tools. For details, see "Edit", Preparation.

  • The color tone of the separation line may differ from that of the other parts even if the name of the color is the same.

Whole Area Repeat

Repeatedly copies the entire image.

The number of repeated images depends on the original size, paper size, and reproduction ratio. For example, see the following tables:
