Terms and Symbols for the Type of Originals and Copy Paper
A few special terms and symbols are used in this manual to designate types of originals and copy paper.
This page explains about these terms and symbols.

Feeding Direction (copy paper path)

In this copier system, copy paper is taken up from the left-hand side of the copier and fed through the
copier toward the right-hand side, out face down onto the Exit Tray. In the figure below, the direction in
which the copy paper is fed, as indicated by the arrow, is called the “feeding direction.”

“Width” and “Length”

When we talk about the size of the original or copy, we call side A
“width” and side B “length.”
A: Width
B: Length

Terms and Symbols Used

<Lengthwise >
When the original or copy has a “length” longer than its “width,”
we call it “lengthwise” and use symbol “L” or “ .”
<Crosswise >
When the original or copy has a “length” shorter than its “width,”
we call it “crosswise” and use symbol “C” or “ .”
