Using the Machine as a Copier

Preparing the Document

Follow these simple guidelines to check your document before you set the document on the machine for copying.

IMPORTANT

•For best results, load only documents of recommended standard size and weight. (See “Documents You Can Scan,” on p. 14-4.)

•To avoid document jams, never feed thick documents or documents backed with carbon paper.

•To avoid document jams and possible damage to the machine, avoid wrinkled or creased paper, carbon paper, curled paper, coated paper, and onion skin or other very thin papers.

•To avoid paper jams or damaging the machine, inspect the documents carefully and make sure they are free of pins, staples, paper clips, and other metal fasteners.

•Make sure all of the documents are dry. They should not have wet ink, glue, or paste on their surfaces.

•Before you feed a stack of documents into the machine, make sure all the pages are of the same size and thickness. Do not attempt to feed documents of mixed sizes and thicknesses in the same stack.

NOTE

•The document guides on the document feeder tray can be adjusted to the width of nonstandard size paper. For best results, however, all sheets in the stack should be of the same width.

•Although the document guides on the document feeder tray indicate that 11" x 17" paper can be placed in the document feeder tray, the effective scanning width is up to 10" (B4) paper.

•The machine does not scan completely to the edges of the paper, and anything beyond this recommended margin is not scanned for copying. (See “Documents You Can Scan,” on p. 14-4.)
