Confidential printed diagonally across the first page or all of the pages of a document.
To use the watermark feature
1. In the software program, open the device properties (printer driver). See Changing print
settings for instructions.
2. On the Effects tab, use the drop-down list to select the watermark that you want to print
on your document. To print the watermark on only the first page of the document, select

							Loading originals to copy
Use these instructions to load originals into your device for copying. See Selecting media for
the automatic document feeder (ADF) for information about choosing original documents for
copying.
To load originals into the automatic document feeder (ADF)
input tray
NoteADF capacity is up to 30 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) media (depending on the thickness of the
media), or until the ADF input tray is full.
The minimum size for media in the ADF is 74 by 105 mm ( (2.9 by 4.1 inches)). The maximum
size for media in the ADF is 215 by 356 mm ( (8.5 by 14 inches)). The ADF output bin holds
one sheet of legal-size media (215 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches)). Subsequent sheets of
legal-size media slide off of the ADF output bin.
1. Adjust the ADF media lever, if necessary.
Note
Move the ADF media lever to the right (single-sheet setting) if you are printing on a single
sheet of thick media.
2. Load the stack of originals to be copied into the automatic document feeder (ADF) with
media stack face-down and the first page to be copied at the bottom of the stack.
3. Slide the media stack into the ADF until the media does not move any farther. You might
have to tap the stack into the ADF.

							4.
Adjust the media guides until they are snug against the media.
5. The document is now ready to be copied.
CAUTION
To prevent damaging the device, do not use an original that contains correction tape,
correction fluid, or staples.
If you moved the ADF media lever to the right in step 1, move it back to the left when you have
finished printing. Printing on regular media with the ADF media lever moved to the right can
cause jams.
