Placing an Original in the Auto Document Feeder (ADF)
The ADF automatically scans multiple sheets of originals or two-sided originals at one time.
One-pass duplex scanning ADF
When scanning a two-sided original, the machine scans the front and back sides of the two-sided original at one time.
For details about the sizes of originals that you can place in the ADF, see the following:
Recommended Original Size and WeightIf the originals described below are placed in the ADF, it may cause misfeeds, white lines, or black lines, or result in damage to the originals. Place these originals on the exposure glass.
-
Stapled or clipped originals
-
Perforated (including the holes for binding, such as loose leaf paper) or torn originals
-
Pasted originals
Originals with adhesive tape, glue or paste stuck to them
-
Originals with any kind of coating, such as thermal paper, art paper, aluminum foil, carbon paper, coated paper, ledger (non-carbon paper, special paper, etc.), or conductive paper
-
Originals with perforated lines
Originals with indexes, tags, or other projecting parts

Placing an Original on the Exposure Glass
-
Originals that are not made of paper such as driver’s licenses
Double sided originals that have been written on with pencil, etc.
Originals whose size and thickness do not meet specifications
Wet originals
Originals on which there is correcting fluid or ink that has not dried completely
Wavy originals
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. If the edge of the paper is not cut well, the edges of the paper curl back, forming what are called burrs. Before you set originals with burrs, fan the originals carefully.
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.
When you scan originals from the ADF, do not touch the parts shown below. Doing so causes the static electricity and a line may appear on the scanned result.
Do not add originals while other originals are being fed.
If you want to add the originals to the bottom of the original stack on the ADF, remove the originals temporarily to add the new originals, and then reload the combined stack of originals.
Open the original tray of the ADF.
Adjust the paper guides to the size of the originals.
Place the aligned originals squarely face up and place them all the way straight into the one-pass duplex scanning 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. If the edge of the paper is not cut well, the edges of the paper curl back, forming what are called burrs. Before you set originals with burrs, fan the originals carefully.
Do not stack the originals beyond the limit mark.
Adjust the paper guides so there are no spaces between the paper guides and the originals. If there are any gaps, the originals may be fed skewed and be damaged.
To scan originals larger than A4 or 81/2 × 11
size, raise the ADF tray extender on the original output tray.
