Observe the following to avoid damaging the document glass.

  • When copying a thick document, do not press on it on the document glass.

  • Place a hard document gently.

  • Do not set a document that has sharp protrusions.

About the Scannable Area When Copied

Texts or images within the 2 mm area from the edges of standard paper cannot be scanned with the copy function.

Symbols Indicating Document Orientation

  • Landscape This symbol indicates that the document is placed in the vertical orientation from the front of this machine.

    For the ADF, place the document in such a way as to feed the long edge first.

  • Portrait This symbol indicates that the document is placed in the horizontal orientation from the front of this machine.

    For the ADF, place the document in such a way as to feed the short edge first.

  • When setting an A4 Landscape document in the ADF

  • When setting an A4 Portrait document in the ADF

  1. Set a document face up in the ADF.

    If [Direction] is set to [Top Edge on Top], set the document so that its left edge is pulled into the ADF first.

    If [Direction] is set to [Top Edge on Left], set the document so that its top edge is pulled into the ADF first.

  2. Align the document guide to the document width.

    Note

    • If ADF paper feed problems often occur, reduce the number of document pages to set.

    • Documents of up to 100 sheets (80 g/m2) and 10 mm high can be loaded regardless of the size.

    • For curled documents, make sure that the document guides fit to the document width.
