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.
