AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER
The automatic document feeder automatically feeds originals into the machine, making continuous copying possible.
In addition, both sides of two-sided sheet originals can be simultaneously scanned. This function is convenient when
you have a large number of original pages to scan.
Acceptable originals
A stack of up to 50 original sheets (30 original sheets*1 for B4 (8-1/2 x 14) or larger) of the same size paper can be
set in the document feeder tray provided the stack height is within the limit shown below.
A stack of up to 30 mixed size originals can be set if the width of the originals is the same and the stack height is within
the limit shown below. In this case, however, stapling and duplex will not function and some special functions may
not give the expected result.
*1 For paper heavier than 105 g/m
2 (28 lbs.), only a stack of up to 15 sheets can be set. Setting 16 or more sheets
may cause incorrect scanning of original and scanned image may become expanded compared with original
itself.

originals
 Total number of originals that can
be set in the document feeder tray

 Notes on use of the automatic document feeder
Use originals within the specified size and weight ranges. Use of originals out of the specified range may cause
an original misfeed.
Before loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.
If originals have damp spots from correction fluid, ink or glue from pasteups, be sure they are dried before they
are fed. If not, the interior of the document feeder or the document glass may be soiled.
Do not use the following originals. These originals may cause incorrect original size detection, original
misfeeds, and smudges on copies.
Transparency film, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals printed with thermal transfer ink
ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the feeder should not be
damaged, crumpled or folded or have loosely pasted paper on them or cutouts in them. Originals with
multiple punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly.
When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the
punched edge is at a position other than the feed slot.

4 PLACING ORIGINALS

 Using the automatic document
feeder
1Open the document cover, make sure that
an original has not been left on the
document glass, and then gently close the
document cover.
2Adjust the original guides to the size of the
originals.
3Place the originals face down in the
document feeder tray.
Place the originals face
down.
Insert the originals all
the way into the
document feeder. The
stack height must not be
higher than the indicator
line (maximum of 50 pages).

 Using the document glass
Open the document cover, place the
original face down on the document glass,
and then gently close the document cover.
To make a copy of a
small original such as a
postcard, use the
[PAPER SELECT] key
to select the desired
paper size.
Align the corner of the original with the tip of the
arrow mark   on the document glass scale.
Place the original in the appropriate position for its
size as shown above.
NOTE
Do not place any objects under the original size
detector, because they may damage it or the original
size may not be detected properly.

							PLACING ORIGINALS
4-4

 Standard original placement orientations
Place originals in the
document feeder tray or on
the document glass so that
the top and bottom of the
original is positioned as
shown in the illustration. If not,
staples will be incorrectly
positioned and some special
features may not give the
expected result.

 Automatic copy image rotation - rotation copying
If the orientation of the originals and copy paper are different, the original image will be automatically rotated 90°
and copied. (When an image is rotated, a message will be displayed.) If a function is selected that is not suitable
for rotation, such as enlarging the copy to greater than A4 (8-1/2 x 11) size or staple sorting with the saddle
stitch finisher, rotation will not be possible.
[Example]
This function operates in both the auto paper select or auto image mode. (
Rotation copy setting can be
disabled with a key operator program. See page 14 of the key operators guide.)

4 CHECKING THE SIZE OF A PLACED
ORIGINAL
If the placed original is a standard size, the size will be automatically
detected (automatic original detection function) and displayed in the touch
panel. Make sure that the correct size has been detected.
(A) : The original size is displayed.
(B) : [AUTO] appears when the automatic original detection function is 
operating.
If you have loaded a non-standard size original or wish to change the
scanning size, you can follow the steps below to manually set the original
scanning size. (For the standard sizes, see Original size detection
function on page 4-3.)
Manually setting the scanning size
If you load an original that is not a standard size (such as an AB size), or if the size is not detected correctly, you must
touch the [ORIGINAL] key and set the original size manually. Perform the following steps after placing the document
in the automatic document feeder or on the document glass.
1Touch the [ORIGINAL] key.
2Touch the desired original size key.
[AUTO] is no longer
highlighted. [MANUAL]
and the original size key
you touched are
highlighted.
If you wish to select an INCH size, touch
the [AB/INCH] key and then touch the
desired original size key.
[INCH] is highlighted
and INCH size keys are
displayed. To return to
the inch palette, touch
the [AB/INCH] key once
again.
If a non-standard size original is placed in
the document feeder or on the document
glass, touch the [SIZE INPUT] tab and then
enter the X (width) and Y (length)
dimensions of the original.
X is initially selected.
Enter the X dimension
(width) and then touch
the Y( ) key and enter
the Y dimension (length).
X can be from 64 to 432
mm, and Y can be from
64 to 297 mm.
If you frequently use originals that are the same
non-standard size,  you can store the size as
explained in STORING, DELETING, AND USING
ORIGINAL SIZES on the following page. This will
save you the trouble of manually entering the size
each time you use that original size.
3Touch the [OK] key.
You will return to the initial screen.
4The selected original size appears in the
top half of the [ORIGINAL] key.
