Repeating the Original Image over the Entire Area of Paper When Copying

You can place duplicates of the scanned original on a single sheet of paper when copying (Repeat). To copy an original to a size smaller than the minimum size that can be copied on the machine, copy the original by combining Reduce copy and Repeat, and then cut the copied paper.

The number of images that can be repeated on a single sheet of paper when repeating the entire area of the original is determined automatically by the original size, paper size, and scaling factor. See below for the number of repeated images that can be arranged on a single sheet of paper for each paper size and orientation:
