Abstract
An image production device includes a processor, media feed trays having media size sensors, and a marking device. A scanner connected to the processor, scans images on a two-dimensional document and determines one dimension of the document. The processor automatically determines dimensions of media in the media feed trays and compares the dimensions of media in each of the media feed trays to the one dimension of the document. Responsive to the one dimension of the document matching one of the dimensions of the media in one of the media feed trays, the processor identifies a matching feed tray based only on one dimension of the document in the scanner. Media is automatically selected from the matching feed tray and fed to the marking device. The marking device renders images on the media selected from the matching feed tray. The processor outputs the media containing the images.
