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].
  • 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. 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.
  • 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.
  • It may be improved by the following settings.
    • For copying: Set the resolution to 600x600dpi
  • In fax mode, when sending a long original with the automatic document feeder, different paper sizes with the same width can be sent at the same time.
