Loading Originals
Place your originals on the platen glass or into the feeder, depending on the size and 
type of the original, and the scan modes that you want to use.
Platen Glass
Place the originals on the platen glass when scanning bound originals (such as books and 
magazines), heavyweight or lightweight originals, and transparencies.
Feeder
Place the originals into the feeder when you want to scan several originals at the same 
time, and press  (Start). The machine automatically feeds the originals to the scanning 
area and scans them. Two ‑sided originals can also be automatically turned over and 
scanned as two ‑sided originals.
Original Sizes
The size of the original is automatically detected, and the original is scanned. If the output 
paper in the recipient’s machine is not equal to the scanned size, the original image may be 
reduced in size or divided into smaller parts before it is sent.
The machine cannot always detect the size of the original if it is a nonstandard paper size, 
such as a book. In this case, specify the size at which you want to scan the original. (See 
“Document Size,” on p. 4‑20.)

Orientation
You can place an original either vertically or horizontally. Always align the top edge of your 
original with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in the top left corner) or the 
back edge of the feeder.

Vertical PlacementHorizontal Placement
Feeder
Vertical PlacementHorizontal Placement
If the top edge of the original is not aligned with the back edge of the\
 platen glass (by the arrow in the top left 
corner), your original may not be scanned correctly, depending on the scan mode that you have set.
Originals of the following sizes can be placed either vertically or hori\
zontally. However, the scanning speed 
for horizontally placed originals is somewhat slower than vertically pla\
ced ones. Place originals horizontally 
when scanning with a Preset Zoom, such as when enlarging an LTR original onto 11" x 17" paper.
Platen glass: LTR, STMT
Feeder: LTR
Horizontally placed LTR and STMT originals are referred to as LTRR and STMTR.
11" x 17" and LGL originals must be placed horizontally on the feeder.

On the Platen Glass
The machine automatically detects the size of the following originals: 11" x 17", LGL, LTR, and LTRR.
1 Lift the feeder.
This machine is equipped with an open/close 
sensor (A) on the feeder (see circled area 
in the above illustration). When placing 
originals on the platen glass, lift the feeder 
high enough so that the sensor does not 
touch the feeder. If the sensor continues to 
touch the feeder, the size of the originals may 
not be detected correctly.
2 Place your original face down.
The surface of the original that you want to 
scan must be placed face down.
Align the top edge of your original with the 
back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in 
the top left corner).
Place books and other bound originals on the 
platen glass in the same way.
When you are enlarging an LTR or STMT 
original onto 11" x 17" or LGL paper, place the 
original horizontally on the platen glass, and 
align it with the LTRR or STMTR marks.
3 Gently close the feeder.
Close the feeder gently to avoid catching 
your hands, as this may result in personal 
injury.
Do not press down hard on the feeder 
when using the platen glass to make copies 
of thick books. Doing so may damage the 
platen glass and result in personal injury.

If you are placing the original on the platen 
glass, the size of the original is detected 
after the feeder is closed. Make sure to 
close the feeder before scanning.
Open the feeder and remove the original 
from the platen glass when scanning is 
complete.
The machine cannot detect the size of 
STMT and STMTR originals that are placed 
on the platen glass. After pressing  (Start), 
follow the instructions on the screen to 
specify the original size. You can also 
manually select the paper size.

Into the Feeder
If the same original is fed through the feeder repeatedly, the original \
may fold or become creased, and make 
feeding impossible. Limit repeated feeding to a maximum of 30 times (this number varies, depending on the 
type and quality of the original).
If the feeder rollers are dirty from scanning originals written in penci\
l, perform the feeder cleaning procedure. 
(See “Cleaning the Machine,” on p. 10‑2.)
Always smooth out any folds in your originals before placing them into the feeder.
Set the originals one by one if they are very thin (10 to 16 lb (37 to\
 52  g/m2)) or very thick (28 to 32 lb bond 
(105 to 128 g/m2)).
11" x 17" and LGL originals must be placed horizontally in the feeder.

1  Adjust the slide guides to fit the 
size of your originals.
2 Neatly place your originals with 
the side to be copied face up into 
the original supply tray.
Place your originals into the feeder as far as 
they will go.
If any dirt on the original scanning area is 
detected when the originals are placed in the 
feeder, the following screen appears. Even 
though streaks may appear on the copies, 
you can continue to scan your originals by 
pressing [Done].
It is recommended, however, that you open 
the feeder, clean the scanning area, and then 
close the feeder. The following screen will not 
appear once the scanning area is clean.
For instructions on cleaning the original 
scanning area, see “Cleaning the Machine,” on 
p. 
10‑2.

Do not add or remove originals while they 
are being scanned.
When scanning is complete, remove the 
originals from the original output area (A) 
to avoid paper jams.
When you are enlarging an LTR or STMT 
original onto 11" x 17" or LGL paper, place 
the original horizontally.
The scanned originals are output to the 
original output area in the order that they 
are fed into the feeder.
You can place different size originals 
together into the feeder if you set the 
Different Size Originals mode. (See chapter 
3, “Copying,” in the Reference Guide.)
11" x 17" and LGL originals must be placed 
horizontally on the feeder.

Original and Paper

To prevent paper jams, do not use any of the following:
Wrinkled or creased paper
Curled or rolled paper
Coated paper
Torn paper
Damp paper
Very thin paper
Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not copy on the 
reverse side.)
The following types of paper do not print well:
Highly textured paper
Very smooth paper
Shiny paper
Make sure the paper is free from dust, lint, and oil stains.
Be sure to test paper before purchasing large quantities.
Store all paper wrapped and on a flat surface until ready for use. Keep opened packs in 
their original packaging in a cool, dry location.
Store paper at 64.4°F–75.2°F (18°C–24°C), 40%–60% relative humidity.
Use only the transparencies designed for laser printers. Canon recommends you to use 
Canon type transparencies with this machine.
Each paper drawer holds approximately 250 sheets of paper (22 lb bond (80 g/m
2)).
Note the following points when using the stack bypass: Paper Quantity: one to approximately 80 sheets (22 lb bond (80 g/m
2), stack 
approximately 3/8" (10 mm) high)
Paper Size: 3 3/4" x 5 7/8" to 11 3/4" x 17" (95 mm x 148 mm to 297 mm x 432 mm)
Paper Weight: 18 to 32 lb bond (64 to 128 g/m
2)
Paper which has been rolled or curled must be straightened out prior to use, to allow 
the paper to feed smoothly through the stack bypass (allowable curl amount: less than 
3/8" (10 mm) for normal paper, less than 1/4" (5 mm) for heavyweight paper). There are 
some types of paper stock which may meet the above specifications, but cannot be 
fed into the stack bypass.
You can select standard inch paper, or A or B series paper.
