Claim One:
1. An image production device, comprising: a processor; media feed trays containing media, each of said media feed trays comprising a media size sensor connected to said processor; a scanner connected to said processor, said scanner comprising a platen and a scan bar scanning images on a document placed on said platen, said document comprising a two-dimensional document, and said scanner scanning said document, using said scan bar, and determining only one dimension of said document; and a marking device operatively connected to said processor, said processor automatically determining length dimensions and width dimensions of said media in each of said media feed trays using said media size sensor in said media feed trays; said scanner scanning said document on said platen in only a cross-process direction to determine said only one dimension of said document, after said scanning said document on said platen, said processor automatically comparing said length dimensions and said width dimensions of said media in each of said media feed trays to said one dimension of said document on said platen, responsive to said one dimension of said document matching either a length dimension or a width dimension of said media in one of said media feed trays, within a reasonable tolerance, said processor determining the dimensions of said document on said platen based on the availability of said media loaded in said media feed trays, said processor automatically selecting media from a matching feed tray, said matching feed tray comprising media having a length dimension or width dimension matching said one dimension of said document, within a reasonable tolerance, and feeding said media from said matching feed tray to said marking device, said marking device rendering images on said media selected from said matching feed tray, and said processor outputting said media containing said images.
