BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

PLACING ORIGINALS

The automatic document feeder can be used to automatically scan many originals at once, and this saves you the 
trouble of manually feeding each original.
For originals that cannot be scanned using the automatic document feeder, such as a book or a document with notes 
attached, use the document glass.

USING THE AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

When using the automatic document feeder, place the originals in the document feeder tray.
Make sure an original has not been placed on the document glass.

USING THE DOCUMENT GLASS

Take care that your fingers are not pinched when closing the automatic document feeder.
After placing the original, be sure to close the automatic document feeder. If left open, parts outside of the original will be 
copied black, causing excessive use of toner.

Set the orientation of the image to ensure that the orientation of the placed original is correctly recognized.
For details, see the User's Manual.

Adjust the original guides to 
the width of the originals.

Place the originals face up with the edges aligned 
evenly.
               The indicator line indicates approximately 
how many originals can be placed. The placed 
originals must not be higher than this line.

Place the original face down.
Align the top left corner of the 
original with the tip of the     
mark in the far left corner of the 
glass.

Place the original 
face down.
