Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) (Optional Accessory)
This section describes the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder 
(DADF) for the WorkCentre 24 printer/copier.
The DADF automatically feeds up to 50 sheets of the same size 
documents or mixed size documents, one at a time, onto the 
Document Glass, feeding the top sheet first. Documents are 
delivered to the Original Catch Tray after they have been copied.
NOTE: 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.

Automatic Document Feeder.

Document Specifications
Always use the recommended types of input documents so that 
the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder operates within the 
design specifications. Documents jams may occur if non-standard 
documents are used, resulting in damaged documents.

If the DADF senses non-standard size documents in the feeder, a 
message is displayed and the printer/copier stops. Place such 
non-standard documents on the Document Glass, or enter the 
document size using the Original Size feature on the Scan Output 
tab. 
For more information about Original Size, refer to the section 
entitled Scan Output Tab in this chapter. 
If the input document is slightly smaller or larger than a standard 
size document, the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder may 
detect it as a standard size document. Dark areas or an image 
loss along the edges may occur. Enter the document size using 
the Original Size feature, or use the Border Erase feature on the 
Added Features tab.

document jam.
