AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

Overview

This section explains how to place originals in the automatic document feeder.

Place originals of different sizes together, if needed, in the automatic document feeder. In that case, use the "Others" function in each mode to set mixed size originals.
Before inserting originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.
If originals have damp spots due to correction fluid, ink or pasteup glue, wait until the originals are dry before making copies. Otherwise the interior of the machine or the document glass may be soiled.
Do not use the following originals. Incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds, and smudges may result.
Transparency film or other transparent material for backup copy, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals printed with thermal transfer ink ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the feeder should not be damaged, crumpled, folded, loosely pasted together, or have cut-out holes. Originals with multiple punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly.
When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the punched edge is at a position away from the feed slot of the document feeder tray.

(Maximum size that can be specified manually)
Copy mode:

When the original is a non-standard size, see the appropriate explanation below for the mode you are using.

Allowed original weights

1-sided scanning: 9 lbs to 34 lbs (35 g/m² to 128 g/m²)
2-sided scanning: 15 lbs to 34 lbs (50 g/m² to 128 g/m²)

To scanning originals from 9 lbs to 14 lbs (35 g/m² to 49 g/m²), use "Slow Scan Mode" in the "Others" function. Scanning without using "Slow Scan Mode" may result in original misfeeds.
When "Slow Scan Mode" is selected, automatic 2-sided scanning is not possible.

Operation

Make sure that there is no original on the document glass.

Place the original.

Up to 150 sheets can be inserted.
After scanning is finished on the automatic document feeder, remove originals from the original exit tray.
