Enlarging an Image to Make a Poster
13WK-056
You can enlarge an image and copy it to multiple sheets of paper to create a
large poster by joining the sheets together. There are two methods for
copying to multiple sheets of paper; specifying the copy ratio only, and
specifying the number of sheets of paper to use.
Specifying the Copy Ratio(P. 296)
Specifying the Paper Size to Use and Number of Sheets(P. 297)
● You cannot create a poster using custom size paper, envelopes, transparencies, or tab paper.
● You cannot create a poster using custom size paper, envelopes, transparencies, or tab paper.
● If you set <Poster>, <Full Color> is set for <Select Color>. Basic Copy Operations(P. 210)
Copy Ratio and Paper Settings
The following table indicates an estimate of the original size and copy ratio for different size posters and the
optimal paper size and number of sheets to use.
Refer to this table when entering the copy ratio and when specifying the paper size and number of sheets.

A3 B4 A4
A0 × 2 Landscape 400 % B4 / 25 sheets
B0 Landscape 346 % 400 % A3 / 16 sheets
A0 Landscape 282 % 326 % A3 / 9 sheets
B1 Landscape 244 % 282 % B4 / 9 sheets
A1 Landscape 200 % 230 % B4 / 9 sheets
B2 Landscape 173 % 200 % A3 / 4 sheets
A2 Landscape 141 % 163 % B4 / 4 sheets
B3 Landscape 122 % 141 % A4R / 4 sheets
A0 Portrait 400 % B4 / 15 sheets
B1 Portrait 346 % A3 / 8 sheets
A1 Portrait 282 % A3 / 6 sheets
B2 Portrait 244 % B4 / 6 sheets
A2 Portrait 200 % A3 / 3 sheets
B3 Portrait 173 % A3 / 2 sheets
● You can create a poster using an original size and copy ratio not indicated in this table, but the maximum
original size is A3 and the maximum copy ratio is 400%.
● Since the poster is output after being divided into the optimal number of sheets, fewer sheets may be
output than the number you specify.
