Original Orientation

PreviousNext

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. A4 or 8¹/₂ × 11), rotate it 90 degrees and place it in an unreadable direction.

Specify a readable or unreadable direction according to the orientation of the original. If you do not specify the orientation correctly, applying some functions may result in outputs that may differ what you want.

• Unreadable orientation

  If the original cannot be placed in a readable direction (e.g. A4 or 8¹/₂ × 11), place it in an unreadable direction and select this mode.

• Readable orientation

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

When using functions such as Duplex and Combine, take care to specify the orientation of the original correctly.

For example, the following diagram shows how to copy A4 or 8¹/₂ × 11 originals when the Combine function is selected:
