Orientation

You can place an original either vertically or horizontally. Always align the top edge of your original with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in the top left corner) or the back edge of the feeder.

Horizontal Placement

If the top edge of the original is not aligned with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in the top left corner), your original may not be scanned correctly, depending on the scan mode that you have set.

Originals of the following sizes can be placed either vertically or horizontally. However, the scanning speed for horizontally placed originals is somewhat slower than vertically placed ones. Place originals horizontally when scanning with a Preset Zoom, such as when enlarging an LTR original onto 11" x 17" paper.

Platen glass: LTR, STMT

Feeder: LTR

Horizontally placed LTR and STMT originals are referred to as LTRR and STMTR.

11" x 17" and LGL originals must be placed horizontally on the feeder.
