Pasted originals
Originals with adhesive tape, glue or paste stuck to them

When loading an original written by pencil on the ADF, the original may be dirty from by being scraped.
Correct an original that tends to curl before setting on the machine.
Fan sheets before loading so that multiple originals do not stick to each other and are not fed at the same time. Be especially careful to fan multiple originals with punched holes and multiple originals from which staples and clips have been removed.
Do not set an original that is wet with correcting fluid or ink. The scanning glass will be stained and the stain will be scanned with the original.
Do not block the sensors with your hand. Be sure to load the originals neatly and do not push them into the ADF forcibly. It may cause paper misfeeds or paper size error.
Place the originals flush against the rear paper guide and adjust the paper guides to the size of the originals.
Place the aligned originals squarely face up in the Auto Document Feeder (ADF).
Place the originals with the first page facing up.
Fan sheets before loading so that multiple originals do not stick to each other and are not fed at once.
Load the originals by placing them flush against the rear paper guide.
Do not stack the originals beyond the limit mark.
To scan originals larger than B4 or 81/2 × 14 size, pull out the ADF’s extender on the original output tray, and then raise the stopper.
