Face Up Paper Output Area
The paper is delivered with the printed side up from the face up paper output at the 
rear of the machine. 
This way is convenient for printing on transparencies, or envelopes which tend to 
curl, because the paper is delivered straight through out of the machine.
Open the face up cover.
•Remove the delivered paper one by one.
IMPORTANT
•Do not pull the paper forcibly.
•This machine has no face up output tray. Remove the delivered paper with your hand.
•Do not place an object in front of the face up paper output to prevent a paper jam.

Setting Up Documents
For scanning, place your documents on the platen glass or load them in the ADF. 
Where you set up your documents depends on the size and type of documents you 
want to scan. (See Document Requirements, on p. 3-1.)
Placing a Document on the Platen Glass
1Open the platen glass cover.
2Place your document face down on the platen glass. 
Use the paper size marks on the left side of the platen glass to position a document.
•If your document conforms to a standard paper size (e.g., LTR or A4), align the 
document between the appropriate paper size marks.
•If you do not know the size of your document, or if your document does not match 
any of the paper size marks, align the center of your document with the ➞ mark.
