3. Setting Originals
This chapter explains the procedure for placing originals on the exposure glass
and in the Auto Document Feeder (ADF), and setting the original scan area and
orientation according to the placement method.

There are two orientations for placing the original. See the table below.
Note

used to make original orientation easy to understand. If the actual shape of
the original is different, the combination of original orientation and the orien-
tation specified on the control panel or scanner driver does not change.
For information about the scan size that can be specified, see p.12 Default
Scan Settings and p.13 Selecting a custom size.
