Feeder

You should use the feeder when you want to copy several originals at the same time. Place the originals into the feeder and press

(Start). The machine automatically feeds the originals to the platen glass and scans them. Two-sided originals can also be scanned as two-sided documents.

The following types of originals can be loaded in the feeder:

For the Duplex Color Image Reader Unit-E1:

Weight:

One-sided scanning: 42 to 157 g/m2

Two-sided scanning: 50 to 157 g/m2

Original size: A3, B4, A4, A4R, B5, B5R, A5, A5R, and B6R

Tray Capacity: 150 sheets of paper (80 g/m2)

For the Color Image Reader Unit-F1:

Weight:

One-sided scanning: 42 to 128 g/m2

Two-sided scanning: 50 to 128 g/m2

Original size: A3, B4, A4, A4R, B5, B5R, A5, A5R, and B6

Tray Capacity: 100 sheets of paper (80 g/m2)

IMPORTANT
Thin originals may become creased, if used in a high temperature or high humidity environment. When you place thin A3, B4, A4R, or B5R originals (42 g/m2) into the feeder of the Duplex Color Image Reader Unit-E1, lift up the Original Stopper to prevent scanned originals from creasing. * Original Stopper If you scan long originals, whose width is 432 mm to 630 mm, from the feeder of the Duplex Color Image Reader Unit-E1, the Auxiliary Original Output Tray should not be pulled out in order to prevent scanned originals from creasing. In this case, support outputting originals with your hands. Do not place the following types of originals into the feeder: Originals with tears or large binding holes Severely curled originals or originals with sharp folds Clipped or stapled originals Carbon backed paper or other originals which may not feed smoothly Transparencies and other highly transparent objects Always smooth out any folds in your originals before placing them into the feeder

If any dirt on the original scanning area is detected when the originals are placed in the feeder, the screen prompting you to clean the scanning area appears. Even though streaks may appear on the copies, you can continue to scan your documents by pressing [Close]. For instructions on cleaning the original scanning area, see "Manual Feeder Cleaning."

IMPORTANT
Limit repeated feeding to a maximum of 30 times (this number varies, depending on the type and quality of the original). If the same original is fed through the feeder repeatedly, the original may fold or become creased, and make feeding impossible. If the feeder rollers are dirty from scanning originals written in pencil, perform the feeder cleaning procedure. (See "Manual Feeder Cleaning.")
