Original Orientation

When using the exposure glass, place the original face down. When using the ADF, place it face up.

If the original cannot be placed in a readable direction (e.g. A4Portrait or 81/2 × 11Portrait), rotate it 90 degrees and place it in an unreadable direction.

Note

  • When using functions such as Duplex, Combine and Series, be sure to specify the original orientation (readable or unreadable) correctly. Otherwise, the output may be different from what you expect.

  • The default setting is unreadable direction.

    • Readable direction Operation panel screen illustration

      Select this mode if the orientation of the original matches the one of the copy paper.

    • Unreadable direction Operation panel screen illustration

      If the original cannot be placed in a readable orientation (e.g. A4Portrait or LetterPortrait), place it in an unreadable direction and select this mode.

      For example, the following diagram shows how to copy A4Portrait or LetterPortrait originals when the Combine function is selected:
