Determining the Copy Ratio and Number of Sheets Needed
If you create a poster by specifying the copy ratio, the number of output pages changes
according to the size of the original, the copy ratio setting, and the size of the copy paper. Refer
to the following table to determine the desired copy ratio.
Output size
A0 (horizontal)
A1 (horizontal)
A1 (vertical)
A2 (vertical)
NOTE
• The sizes indicated in the table serve only as a guideline. The actual copy ratio may be different from
that indicated in the table.
• After all the sheets have been pasted together, the final size of the actual copy will be slightly smaller
than the size indicated in the table.
• You can create a poster with copy ratios that are not listed in the table. However, the size of the original
must not be larger than A3, and the copy ratio cannot exceed 400%.
Specifying the Copy Ratio in Percentage
You can enlarge an original in the Poster mode by specifying the copy ratio in percentage. Any
copy ratio from 100% to 400% can be set.
