Placing Originals

Place your originals on the platen glass or into the feeder, depending on the size and type of the original, and the copy modes that you want to use. Both sides of two-sided originals can be scanned simultaneously.

Platen Glass

Place the originals on the platen glass when copying bound originals (such as books and magazines), heavy or lightweight originals, and transparencies.

Feeder

Place the originals into the feeder when you want to copy several originals at the same time, 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.

Document Sizes

The size of the original is automatically detected, and the document is scanned.
The machine cannot always detect the size of the original if it is a nonstandard paper size, such as a book. In this case, specify the size at which you want to scan the original. (See "Specifying/Registering Scan Sizes.")

Orientation

You can place an original either vertically or horizontally. Always align the top edge of your original with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in the top left corner) or the back edge of the feeder.

NOTE
The Duplex Color Image Reader Unit-M is an optional product. If the original has too many pages to be placed in the feeder all at once, use the Job Build mode on the [Options] screen. For more information, see the following: Job Build for Copy Job Build for Scan and Store Job Build for Scan and Send If the top edge of the original is not aligned with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in the top left corner), your original may not be scanned correctly, depending on the copy mode that you have set. Originals of the following sizes can be placed either vertically or horizontally. However, the scanning speed for horizontally placed originals is somewhat slower than that of vertically placed originals. Place originals horizontally when copying with a Preset Zoom, such as when enlarging an A4 original onto A3 paper. Platen glass: A4 and A5 Feeder: A4 Horizontally placed A4, and A5 originals are referred to as A4R, and A5R. A3 original must be placed horizontally.
