The automatic document feeder automatically feeds originals into the machine, making continuous copying possible.
In addition, both sides of two-sided sheet originals can be simultaneously scanned. This function is convenient when
you have a large number of original pages to scan.

A stack of up to 50 original sheets (30 original sheets*

1

 for B4 (8-1/2" x 14") or larger) of the same size paper can be

set in the document feeder tray provided the stack height is within the limit shown below.
A stack of up to 30 mixed size originals can be set if the width of the originals is the same and the stack height is within
the limit shown below. In this case, however, stapling and duplex will not function and some special functions may
not give the expected result.
*1

For paper heavier than 105 g/m

2

 (28 lbs.), only a stack of up to 15 sheets can be set. Setting 16 or more sheets

may cause incorrect scanning of original and scanned image may become expanded compared with original
itself.

■ Notes on use of the automatic document feeder

●Use originals within the specified size and weight ranges. Use of originals out of the specified range may cause

an original misfeed.

●Before loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.
●If originals have damp spots from correction fluid, ink or glue from pasteups, be sure they are dried before they

are fed. If not, the interior of the document feeder or the document glass may be soiled.

●Do not use the following originals. These originals may cause incorrect original size detection, original

misfeeds, and smudges on copies.

●

Transparency film, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals printed with thermal transfer ink
ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the feeder should not be
damaged, crumpled or folded or have loosely pasted paper on them or cutouts in them. Originals with
multiple punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly.

●When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the

punched edge is at a position other than the feed slot.

■ Using the automatic document

Place the originals face
down.

Insert the originals all
the way into the
document feeder. The
stack height must not be
higher than the indicator

line (maximum of 50 pages).

■

■

■ Using the document glass

To make a copy of a
small original such as a
postcard, use the
[PAPER SELECT] key
to select the desired
paper size.

●Align the corner of the original with the tip of the

arrow mark 

 on the document glass scale.

●Place the original in the appropriate position for its

size as shown above.

NOTE
Do not place any objects under the original size
detector, because they may damage it or the original
size may not be detected properly.

Original size detection function
One of the four groups of standard original sizes shown below can be selected for detection by the original size
detection function. The factory default setting is "AB-1 (INCH-1)". The setting can be changed using
"ORIGINAL SIZE DETECTOR SETTING" in the key operator programs.

■ Standard original placement orientations

Place originals in the
document feeder tray or on
the document glass so that
the top and bottom of the
original is positioned as
shown in the illustration. If not,
staples will be incorrectly
positioned and some special
features may not give the
expected result.

■ Automatic copy image rotation - rotation copying

If the orientation of the originals and copy paper are different, the original image will be automatically rotated 90

°

and copied. (When an image is rotated, a message will be displayed.) If a function is selected that is not suitable
for rotation, such as enlarging the copy to greater than A4 (8-1/2" x 11") size or staple sorting with the saddle
stitch finisher, rotation will not be possible.

●This function operates in both the auto paper select or auto image mode. ("Rotation copy setting" can be

disabled with a key operator program. See page 14 of the key operator's guide.)
