AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

This section explains how to place originals in the automatic document feeder.

Place originals of different sizes together, if needed, in the automatic document feeder. In that case, use the "Others" function in each mode to set [Mixed Size Original].
See the following pages for the combinations of document sizes that can be loaded.

SCANNING ORIGINALS OF DIFFERENT SIZES (MIXED SIZE ORIGINAL)

Before inserting originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.
If originals have damp spots due to correction fluid, ink or paste up glue, wait until the originals are dry before making copies. Otherwise the interior of the machine or the document glass may be soiled.
Do not use the following originals. Incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds, and smudges may result. Transparency film or other transparent material for backup copy, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals printed with thermal transfer ink ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the feeder should not be damaged, crumpled, folded, loosely pasted together, or have cut-out holes. Originals with multiple punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly.
Business cards may not be scanned correctly depending on the condition, material, shape and processing method used.
When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the punched edge is at a position away from the feed slot of the document feeder tray. Specify the orientation of the original using [Original].

Depending on the condition of the original, the type of paper, and the temperature and humidity of the environment in which the machine is used, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at the same time and may not be scanned correctly, or the ejected originals may not be neatly aligned.

For copying: Set the resolution to 600x600dpi
For scan transmission: use "Preview"

When the document rolls in the original exit tray on the automatic document feeder, fix the paper fixing arm at the center to the top.

When the original is a non-standard size, see the appropriate explanation below for the mode you are using.

COPIER: "STORING FREQUENTLY USED ORIGINAL SIZES"
FAX: " SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE USING NUMERIC VALUES"
IMAGE SEND: "SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE USING NUMERIC VALUES"

In fax or Imaging send mode, to load a 39-3/8" (1000 mm) long original, you need to set the scan size to [Long Size]. In fax mode, see " SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE IN PAPER SIZE" and " SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE USING NUMERIC VALUES", and in image sending mode, see " SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE IN PAPER SIZE" and " SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE USING NUMERIC VALUES".

Allowed original weights

BP-70M75/BP-70M90	1-sided scanning: 9 to 80 lbs Cover (35 to 220 g/m²) 2-sided scanning: 13 to 80 lbs Cover (50 to 220 g/m ²) Business card: Thickness, 0.1mm to 0.2mm

BP-70M75/BP-70M90

1-sided scanning: 9 to 80 lbs Cover (35 to 220 g/m²)

2-sided scanning: 13 to 80 lbs Cover (50 to 220 g/m ²)

Business card: Thickness, 0.1mm to 0.2mm

To scan originals from 9 to 13- lbs Bond (35 to 49 g/m ²), use "Slow Scan Mode" in the "Others" function. Scanning without using "Slow Scan Mode" may result in original misfeeds.
To scan originals 32 lbs Bond to 80 lbs Cover (158 to 220 g/m²), use "Heavy Paper Scan" in the "Others" function.
Scanning without using "Heavy Paper Scan" may result in original misfeeds.

Make sure that there is no original on the document glass.

Place the original.

Up to 300 sheets can be inserted.
After scanning is finished on the automatic document feeder, remove originals from the original exit tray.

PREVENTIVE LIGHT TO INDICATE ORIGINAL LEFT BEHIND

In order to prevent originals being left behind, the automatic document feeder incorporates a lamp on the top of the original exit tray.
This lamp detects a document on the automatic document feeder, and starts blinking after the last original is output from the original exit tray.

Light turning off

The preventive light to indicate original left behind will turn off in the event of the following.

When the scanned original is removed
After the preventive light to indicate original left behind blinks three times, repeated three times
When a new original is placed in the automatic document feeder, and a job started
When the machine enters sleep mode
When use of the automatic document feeder is prohibited

When the preventive light to indicate original left behind is blinking, placing the original on the document glass will not turn off the preventive light to indicate original left behind.
The preventive light to indicate original left behind will not turn off by only placing an original on the automatic document feeder.
The preventive light to indicate original left behind will not turn off even if the operation panel is off.
If the preventive light to indicate original left behind turns off, this will not flash even if an original is left on the automatic document feeder.

ORIGINAL SETTING INDICATOR

The original setting indicator lights when the document is correctly loaded on the document feeder tray.
If the original setting indicator is lit, it is possible for a user who has difficulty in confirming that a document is loaded on the document feeder tray to confirm that the document is loaded.

SKEW FEED PREVENTION

The automatic document feeder is equipped with a skewed feed prevention function. When a document is loaded at an angle, the function stops loading the document as misfeed.

DOUBLE FEED DETECTION

When you attach the double feed detection kit of the peripheral device to the automatic document feeder, you can use the double feed detection function.
This automatic document feeder is equipped with a double feed detection function.
If you attempt to scan multiple originals at the same time, scanning stops as misfeed.
