Copy or scan originals and books using the glass plate

Introduction

Use the glass plate to copy or scan bound originals (such as books and magazines), heavy or lightweight originals, and transparencies. Also place originals on the glass plate when you want to copy an A3 original with an image that extends all the way to the edges without the periphery of the original being cut off.

CAUTION

Do not press down hard on the ADF when you use the glass plate to copy thick books. Doing so may damage the glass plate and result in personal injury.

NOTE

The scanner automatically detects the following sizes of originals (after you closed the ADF): A5, Statement 5.5"x8.5", B5, A4, A4R, Letter 8.5"x11", LetterR, B4R, B5R, LegalR 8.5"x14", A3R, TabloidR 11"x17", B6.
