Placing Originals
Place originals on the platen glass or in the feeder. Use the platen glass when scanning thick or bound documents such as books. You can load two or more sheets of originals in the feeder so that they can be scanned continuously. For information on loadable sizes, etc., see Main Unit or Feeder (DADF-AZ).

To scan originals more accuratelyOriginals placed in the feeder are scanned while being fed into the machine. On the other hand, originals placed on the platen glass remain in a fixed position while they are scanned. To ensure more accurate scanning results, placing originals on the platen glass is recommended. To scan tracing paper or transparenciesTo scan transparent originals (for example, tracing paper or transparencies), place them on the platen glass and cover them with plain white paper. Document sizesThe machine automatically detects the paper size of the placed document prior to scanning. |
Placing Originals on the Platen Glass
1
Open the feeder or the platen cover.
If you place an original for which the opening of the feeder is insufficient, the size of the original may not be properly detected.
2
Place the original face down on the platen glass.
Align the corner of the original with the top-left corner of the platen glass.
When copying 2-sided original, place the original so that the top and the bottom are properly positioned, as shown in the illustration below.
3
Gently close the feeder or the platen cover.
The original is ready for scanning.
When scanning is complete, remove the original from the platen glass.
 |
When closing the feeder/platen cover, take care that your eyes are not exposed to light emitted through the platen glass. |
|
If a thick original such as a book or magazine is placed on the platen glass, do not press down hard on the feeder/platen cover. |
Placing Originals in the Feeder
|
Do not place items in the original output tray, as doing so may cause damage to your originals. |
1
Align the slide guides to fit the size of your originals.
2
Fan the original stack and align the edges.
Fan the original stack in small batches, and align the edges by lightly tapping the stack on a flat surface a few times.
3
Place the originals face up and as far into the feeder as they will go.
Originals are ready for scanning.
Load limit lines
Make sure that the original stack does not exceed the load limit lines (
). If you place originals that exceed the limit, they may not be scanned or may cause a paper jam.
). If you place originals that exceed the limit, they may not be scanned or may cause a paper jam.When placing an original that is folded
Always smooth out any folds in your originals before placing them into the feeder. If the original is folded, an error screen may be displayed because the size of originals cannot be detected correctly.
Align the slide guides securely against the edges of the original
Slide guides that are too loose or too tight can cause misfeeds or paper jam.
While originals are being scanned
Do not add or remove originals.
When scanning is complete
Remove the scanned originals from the original output tray to prevent paper jams.
When scanning long strip originals
If you scan long originals (which have a length of up to 630 mm), support the originals by hand when scanning and outputting paper.
When placing thin paper originals
Thin originals may become creased, if used in a high temperature or high humidity environment.
Make sure that you do not push too hard when placing the original. The original may not be fed correctly, or may cause a paper jam.
When repeatedly scanning the same original
It is recommended that you do not repeatedly scan the same original more than five times (this varies depending on paper quality). The original may fold or become wrinkled, or become difficult to send.
Color original scan range
When a color original is scanned with a setting made for automatic color discrimination, it may be identified as a black-and-white document if it contains color portions only in the gray areas as shown in the following figure.
1-sided originals | 2-sided originals | |||

: 10 mm
: 17 mmTo scan originals as color document, set the machine to Full Color mode.
When copying 2-sided original, place the original so that the top and the bottom are properly positioned, as shown in the illustration below.
You can place different sized originals and scan them all at once.
