# Placing Originals

Place the original on the exposure glass or the ADF.

For details about how to place originals, see the following:

- Placing originals on the exposure glass

  See “Placing Originals on the Exposure Glass” in “Placing Originals”, Copy and Document Server Reference.

- Placing originals into the ADF

  See “Placing Originals in the Auto Document Feeder” in “Placing Originals”, Copy and Document Server Reference.

Note that “Original Settings” of the copy function cannot be used with the facsimile function.

Place the originals according to their paper size.

Specify the scan area according to the size of originals. The sizes that you can specify as standard size are A4, 81/2 × 11, and 81/2 × 14. If you are placing any other size, specify the scan area in “Area”. For details about specifying the scan area, see “Scan Size”.

Original size | Placing on the exposure glass | Placing into the ADF
--- | --- | ---
B5 JIS, A4, 81/2 × 11, 81/2 × 14 *1 |  |
B5 JIS, A4, 81/2 × 11, 81/2 × 14 *1 |  |
A5, 51/2 × 81/2 |  |
A5, 51/2 × 81/2 |  |

*1 Place 81/2 × 14 size originals into the ADF.

- Do not lift the ADF while using it to scan originals.

- Originals that are clipped or creased cannot be scanned using the ADF. For details about originals that are not recommended for the ADF, see “Originals”, Copy and Document Server Reference.

- To scan multiple originals using the ADF, set originals in a stack.

- When sending a fax, the image output at the other end depends on the size and orientation of paper used in the receiver's machine. If the receiver's machine does not have paper of the same size and orientation as that you have specified for the scan area, the receiver's fax image might be smaller, trimmed at both edges, or divided across two or more sheets. When sending an important original, ask the receiver about the size and orientation of the paper in their machine.

- An original of irregular (i.e. custom) size originals are scanned as regular size originals, so the receiver may find extra blank margins or edges of images missing. When sending a custom size or part of a large original, you can specify the scan area precisely. If you specify a scan area, only that area is scanned regardless of the actual size of the original. For details about specifying the scan area, see “Scan Size”.

- Documents longer than 800 mm (32 inches) must be sent by Memory Transmission (Immediate Transmission may not be possible).

- You can use documents longer than 356 mm (14 inches) with the User Parameter (switch 14, bit 1) in the Parameter Settings. For details about Parameter Setting, see “Parameter Settings”.

- If an original jams, press the [Clear/Stop] key, and then carefully remove the original.

- Make sure that all ink, correcting fluid etc., has completely dried before placing your original. If it is still wet, the exposure glass will become marked and those marks will appear on the received image.

- You can send the first page from the exposure glass then the remaining pages from the ADF. You cannot change from the ADF to the exposure glass.

- When using the Internet Fax function, originals are sent at A4 size. Originals larger than A4 are reduced to A4 size. If the receiver's machine is compliant with the T.37 full mode, originals are sent at the size specified in the Address Book. See “T.37 Full Mode”.

- Information about this machine is printed at the destination. This information is printed on the side of the paper that is to your left when placing the documents on the exposure glass or the ADF. For details about the fax information, see “Registering Fax Information”.

- For acceptable types of originals, see “Acceptable Original Sizes” and “Paper Size and Scanned Area”.
