size), the closest standard size may be displayed or the original size may not appear. In this event, manually set the 
correct original size.
☞SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SIZE (page 2-27)
 When placing a non-standard size original on the document glass, you can make it easier for the size to be detected by 
placing a blank sheet of A4 (8-1/2 x 11), B5 (5-1/2 x 8-1/2), or other standard size of paper on top of the original.
(A)  Auto appears when the automatic original detection function is

MAKING A COPY USING THE DOCUMENT GLASS
To make a copy of a book or other thick original that cannot be scanned with the automatic document feeder, open the 
automatic document feeder and place the original on the document glass. This section explains how to make a copy 
(1-sided copy of a 1-sided original) using the document glass.
1
Open the automatic document feeder, 
place the original face down on the 
document glass, and then gently close 
the automatic document feeder.
 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.
 After placing the original, be sure to close the automatic 
document feeder. If left open, parts outside of the original will 
be copied black, causing excessive use of toner.
Do not place any objects under the original size detector. Closing the automatic document feeder with an object 
underneath may damage the original size detector plate and prevent correct detection of the document size.
2
Check the paper to be used.
Make sure that the desired paper (tray) is selected.
To change the paper (tray), touch the [Paper Select] key.
☞PAPER TRAYS (page 2-11)
Depending on the size of the placed original, there may be cases where the same size of paper as the original is not 
selected automatically. In this event, change the paper size manually.
