BEFORE USING THE MACHINE►HOW TO PLACE THE ORIGINAL

This section explains how to place originals in the automatic document feeder.

• Place originals of different sizes together, if needed, in the automatic document feeder. In that case, use the "Others" 

function in each mode to set [Mixed Size Original]. An original cannot be detected if all pages are of the same size but 
some of them are set in a different orientation.

• Before inserting originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.
• If originals have damp spots due to correction fluid, ink or paste up glue, wait until the originals are dry before making 

copies. Otherwise the interior of the machine or the document glass may be soiled.

• Do not use the following originals. Incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds, and smudges may result.

Transparency film or other transparent material for backup copy, 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, folded, loosely pasted together, or have cut-out holes. 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 away from the feed slot 

of the document feeder tray. Specify the orientation of the original using [Original].

• For a thin original (9 lbs. to 14 lbs. (35 g/m

2

 - 49 g/m

2

)), use [Slow Scan Mode] in the "Others". For this type, 2-sided 

scanning is disabled.

• Close the automatic document feeder slowly. Abruptly closing the automatic document feeder may damage it.
• Take care that your fingers are not pinched when closing the automatic document feeder.

Standard size
11" (longitudinal) x 17" (transversal)
297 mm (longitudinal) x 420 mm (transversal) or A3
Non-standard size
11-5/8" (longitudinal) x 17" (transversal)
297 mm (longitudinal) x 432 mm (transversal)

Place the original face down and align the top left corner of 
the original with back left (at the tip of the mark 

) of the 

document glass.

Do not place any objects under the original size detector.
Closing the automatic document feeder with an object underneath may damage the original size detector or disable 
correct detection of the original size.

When placing a non-standard size original on the document glass, the size can be detected easily if a blank sheet of 
8-1/2" x 11" (A4), 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (B5), or other standard size paper is placed on top of the original.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE►HOW TO PLACE THE ORIGINAL

After placing the original, close the automatic document feeder. If the unit is left open, parts outside of the original will be 
copied in black, causing excessive use of toner.

• When scanning a thick book or other thick original, push up the back of the automatic document feeder and then place 

the original.
When closing, open the automatic document feeder all the way and then close it.

• If originals have damp spots due to correction fluid, ink or paste up glue, wait until the originals are dry before making 

copies. Otherwise the interior of the machine or the document glass may be soiled.
