Platen Glass

You should use the platen glass when copying bound originals (such as books and magazines), heavy or lightweight originals, and transparencies. You should also place originals onto the platen glass when you want to copy an 11" x 17" original with an image that extends all the way to the edges without the periphery of the original being cut off. (See Chapter 1, "Introduction to the Copy Functions," or Chapter 3, "Basic Copying and Mail Box Features," in the Copying and Mail Box Guide, or Chapter 3, "Basic Scanning Features," in the Sending and Facsimile Guide.)

NOTE

The machine automatically detects the size of the following originals: 11" x 17", LGL, LTR, and LTRR.

Basic Operations

IMPORTANT

This machine is equipped with an open/close sensor on the feeder/platen cover (see circled area in the above illustration). When placing originals on the platen glass, lift the feeder/platen cover approximately 11 7/8" (300 mm) so that the sensor detaches from the feeder/platen cover. If the sensor does not detach from the feeder/platen cover, the size of the originals may not be detected correctly.
