Placing Originals in the Auto Document Feeder

Be sure not to load the original untidily. Doing so may cause the machine to display a paper misfeed message. Also, be sure not to place originals or other objects on the top cover. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

Important

  • When inserting originals in the ARDF, push them in once and without force.

  • After turning on the power, do not place originals in the ARDF until the “Please wait.” message disappears from the copy screen.

Note

  • For information on using the ADF, see "Specifying the Settings for Originals", Copy/ Document Server.

  • Straighten curls in the originals before placing them in the ADF.

  • To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, fan the original before placing it in the ADF.

  • When using the ARDF to scan originals with a paper weight that is less than 42 g/m2 (11 lb. Bond), move the slide tray on the original output tray to the left side. Not doing so may cause paper jams due to the originals becoming curled.

  • When the ARDF's slide tray is placed on the left side, the tray capacity is decreased. After scanning the originals, return the slide tray to the original position.

  • Take care to place originals after any correction fluid and ink has completely dried. Not taking this precaution could cause marks on the exposure glass that will be scanned.

  • For details about the sizes and weights of originals that you can place in the ADF, see Recommended Original Sizes and Weights.

  • When using the one-pass duplex scanning ADF to scan A3Landscape or 11 × 17Landscape originals, slide the ADF's extender on the original output tray to the right side, and then raise the stopper. Otherwise, the originals may fall off the right side.
