Abstract
In a multifunction peripheral according to the present invention, a sheet selection screen for selecting a sheet that is the output destination is presented. A 'check sheet size' button is provided on the sheet selection screen. When the 'check sheet size' button is operated, an optimal sheet size identification function is started, and a document size identification process including pre-scan is performed. Accordingly, the size of a document is identified. Further, an optimal sheet size identification process is performed. Thus, the optimal sheet size, which is a suitable sheet size corresponding to the size of the document, is identified.
