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

. 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:

Weight:

One-sided scanning: 38 to 220 g/m2

Two-sided scanning: 50 to 220 g/m2
(However, if you are scanning in color, 64 to 220 g/m2 paper can be used for both one-sided and two-sided scanning.)

Size: A3, A4, A4R, A5, A5R

Tray Capacity: 300 sheets of paper (80 g/m2)

Long Originals: Width 432 mm to 630 mm
(Note that different sized originals cannot be scanned together or used for two-sided scanning.)

IMPORTANT
Thin originals may become creased, if used in a high temperature or high humidity environment. If you scan long originals from the feeder, the Auxiliary Original Output Tray should not be pulled out in order to prevent scanned originals from creasing. In this case, support originals by hand when feeding and outputting paper. 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.

IMPORTANT
Limit repeated feeding to a maximum of 5 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 "Routine Cleaning.")
