Combined Copying
This mode can be used to select a reproduction ratio automatically and copy the originals onto a single sheet of copy paper.
The machine selects a reproduction ratio between 25 and 400%. If the orientation of the original is different from that of the copy paper, the machine will automatically rotate the image by 90 degrees to make copies properly.
If you selected [2 Sided] for [Original:] or [Combine 2 Sides] for [Copy:], you can change the orientation. For details, see Specifying the Original and Copy Orientation.

The image position of Combine differs according to original orientation and the number of originals to be combined.

If the calculated reproduction ratio falls below the minimum reproduction ratio, the calculated reproduction ratio will be adjusted to the minimum ratio. If this happens, with some ratios, parts of the image might not be copied.
If the number of originals placed is less than the number specified for combining, the last page is left blank as shown.
You can change the order of combined images and the type of separation line in the following settings. For details, see User Guide of your device.
