# DOCUMENT GLASS

## Overview

This section describes the steps to set the original on the document glass.

- Close the automatic document feeder slowly. Abruptly closing the automatic document feeder may damage it.
- Exercise care that your fingers are not pinched when closing the automatic document feeder.

### Maximum original size allowed

Standard sizes |
11" (longitudinal) × 17" (transversal) 297 mm (longitudinal) × 420 mm (transversal)
Non-standard size |
11-5/8" (longitudinal) × 17" (transversal) 297 mm (longitudinal) × 432 mm (transversal)

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

- Copy: "DIRECTLY ENTERING THE CUSTOM SIZE"
- IMAGE SEND: "SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE USING NUMERIC VALUES"

## Operation

1. #### Open the automatic document feeder

2. #### Place the original

   Place the original with the scan side facing down.
   Align the top left corner of the original with back left (at the tip of the mark ) of the document glass.

   When placing a non-standard size original on the document glass, the size can be detected easily by placing a blank sheet of A4 (8-1/2" x 11"R), B5 (5-1/2" × 8-1/2"), or other standard size paper on top of the original.

3. #### Close the automatic document feeder

   If the automatic document feeder is left open while copying, parts outside of the original will be copied in black, causing excessive use of toner.
