PLACING ORIGINALS
The automatic document feeder can be used to automatically scan many originals at once. This saves you the 
trouble of manually feeding each original.
For originals that cannot be scanned using the automatic document feeder, such as a book or a document with 
notes attached, use the document glass.
Using the automatic document feeder
When using the automatic document feeder, place the originals in the document feeder tray.
Using the document glass
Place the originals face up with the edges 
aligned evenly.
                  The indicator line indicates 
approximately how many originals can be 
placed. The placed originals must not be 
higher than this line.
Adjust the original guides to the 
width of the originals.
Place the original
 face down. Place the original face down.
Align the top left corner of the 
original with the tip of the     
mark in the far left corner of the 
glass.To place a thick original such as a 
book with many pages, push up the far 
edge of the automatic document 
feeder and then close the automatic 
document feeder slowly. 
Take care that your fingers are not 
pinched when closing the automatic 
document feeder.

Loading paper in a tray
To change the paper in a tray, load the desired paper in the tray and then change the tray settings in the machine 
to specify the loaded paper. The procedure for changing the tray paper size is explained below. As an example, 
the paper in tray 4 is changed from B4 (8-1/2 x 14) size plain paper to A4 (8-1/2 x 11) size recycled paper.
Gently pull out the paper tray.
If paper remains in the tray, remove it.
Gently push the tray into the machine.
Insert the paper with the print side face 
down.
Fan the paper well before inserting it. 
Otherwise, multiple sheets may feed at 
once and cause a misfeed.
Move the two guides on the tray to 
change the size from B4 (8-1/2 x 14) to 
A4 (8-1/2 x 11).
If the paper you are loading is a non-
standard size, lock the guides with    .
               Indicator line
The indicator line indicates the maximum 
height of the paper that can be loaded in 
the tray. When loading paper, make sure 
that the stack is not higher than the 
indicator line.
Use both hands to place the paper from 
right overhead so that it does not fold. 
Folds in the paper will cause misfeeds.
