# AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

## Overview

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

- Originals of different sizes can be placed together in the automatic document feeder. In that case, configure the mixed size original setting in each mode.
- Be sure to remove staples or paper clips, if any, before placing the originals in the automatic document feeder.
- If originals have damp spots due to correction fluid, ink or glue, wait until the originals are dry before placing them. Otherwise the interior of the machine or the document glass may be soiled.
- Do not use the following originals. Note that using the following types of originals may cause incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds, and smudges on transmitted images or copy results.
  - Transparency film or mother print paper
  - Tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper
  - Heavily creased or curled originals
  - Damaged originals, folded originals
  - Originals that have pasted sections or cut-out holes
  - Originals printed with thermal transfer ink ribbon
  - 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.

When scanning originals from 35 g/m2 to 49 g/m2 (9 lbs. to 14 lbs.), select "Slow Scan Mode" in each mode. Scanning without using "Slow Scan Mode" may result in original misfeeds.
When "Slow Scan Mode" is selected, 2-sided originals cannot be scanned.

## Operation

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

2. #### Adjust the original guides to the size of the original

3. #### Place the original

   A maximum of 150 sheets of originals can be placed.
   Make sure the edges of the originals are even.
   Insert the originals with the top page facing up all the way into the document feeder tray.
   The stack of originals must not be higher than the indicator line on the document feeder tray.
   After scanning is finished on the automatic document feeder, remove originals from the original exit tray.
