AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER
The automatic document feeding function 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
Up to 150 originals (80 g/m2 (20 lbs.)) of the same size, or an overall stack height of no more than 19.5 mm (49/64),
can be loaded. Originals of mixed length can also be loaded together as long as they are the same width; however,
some special functions may not operate correctly.

 Size and weight of acceptable
originals
 Total number of originals that can
be set in the document feeder tray

Maximum of 150 sheets (80 g/m2 (20 lbs.)) or
total stack height of 19.5 mm (49/64) or less.

 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.

 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.)
