10. Duplex Automatic Document Feeder
Overview
This chapter describes the Duplex Automatic 
Document Feeder (DADF), illustrated in 
Figure 1, for the DocuColor 12 copier/printer.
The DADF automatically feeds up to 50 of the 
same size documents or mixed size 
documents, one at a time, onto the Document 
Glass, feeding the top sheet first.
KEY POINT:
•The copier/printer automatically copies 
black and white documents in the Black 
mode and documents with colour in the 
Full Colour mode when Auto Output 
Colour is selected.
•If the DADF belt is dirty and the original is 
a thin or transparent document, 
background may appear on the output. 
This may also occur when copies are 
made using the Document Glass. Place a 
white sheet of paper of the same size on 
top of the document being copied to 
eliminate background until the belt is 
cleaned.
NOTE:Using the DADF, black and white 
output is produced at 40 copies per minute.

If you use the DADF to input the original 
documents, the output will be delivered in one of 
the following ways, assuming a three-page job.
•In a basic, single-copy job, output is delivered 
face down in 1, 2, 3 order.
•In a multiple-copy job, output is delivered to 
the Output Tray face up with copies of the first 
page on the bottom and copies of the last 
page on top in 3/3/3, 2/2/2, 1/1/1 order.
•In a multiple-copy job using a Sorter/Mailbox, 
one set of output is delivered, face down, to 
each of three separate bins in 1, 2, 3 order.
WARNING:Never open the cover of the Duplex 
Automatic Document Feeder while the copier/
printer is running. Injury or a document jam may 
occur. 
Never cheat the safety interlock switches. They 
control the built-in safety features of the feeder.

Document specifications
Always use the recommended types of input 
documents so that the Duplex Automatic 
Document Feeder operates within the design 
specifications. Document jams may occur if non-
standard documents are used, resulting in 
damaged documents.
Standard DADF document specifications
•Weight – The document weight should be 
from 16 lb to 32 lb (64 to 128 gsm).
•Size
– North and South America
8.5 x 5.5 inches, 8.5 x 11 inches, 8.5 x 14

– European market
A5, A4, A3, 8.5 x 13 inches, 8.5 x 14 
inches, 8.5 x 11 inches, 11 x 17 inches.
If the DADF senses non-standard size documents 
in the feeder, a message displays and the copier/
printer stops. Place such non-standard documents 
on the Document Glass, or enter the document 
size by using the Original Size feature in the 
Added Features tab. Refer to the section “Added 
Features” for more information.
If the input document is slightly smaller or larger 
than a standard size document, the Duplex

standard size document. Dark areas or an image 
loss along the edges may occur. Enter the 
document size by using the Original Size feature 
or use the Edge Erase feature in the Added 
Features tab. Refer to the section “Added 
Features” for more information
