This feature copies originals in different sizes at the same time even when 8-1/2" x 14" (B4) size originals are mixed with 11" x 17" (A3) size originals.
When scanning the originals, the machine automatically detects the size of each original and uses paper appropriate for that size.
When mixed size original is combined with auto ratio selection, the ratio is adjusted individually for each original according to the selected paper size, enabling printing on a uniform paper size.
