Scanning Information

Introduction

You can place an original either vertically or horizontally. Always align the top edge of your original with the back edge of the glass plate (by the arrow in the top left corner) or the back edge of the ADF.

The size of the original is automatically detected, and the document is scanned.

The machine cannot always detect the size of the original if it is a non-standard paper size, such as a book. In this case, specify the size of the original.

Orientation on the Glass Plate

When you put an original on the glass plate, always put the original face down on the glass plate.

NOTE

If the top edge of the original is not aligned with the back edge of the glass plate (by the arrow in the top left corner), your original may not be scanned correctly.

Placement of the Originals

You can place originals of the following sizes either vertically or horizontally. However, the scanning speed for horizontally placed originals is somewhat slower than that of vertically placed originals. Place originals horizontally when you copy with a preset zoom, for example when you enlarge an A4 original to A3 paper.

NOTE

You must always place A3, B4, B6 and 11" x 17" originals horizontally.
