Abstract
When operating in a photocopier mode a first tray is first selected, and a second tray is then selected if there is no recording medium in the first tray. If recording medium is in the second tray but the size of the recording medium is not the same as the size of the recording medium loaded to the first tray, a notice indicating a size change is presented and recording is completed only if the user approves the size change using an operating panel.
