If you are working with originals that are printed on 16-24 lb. (60-90 gsm) plain paper or on HP Premium Inkjet Paper, you can load more than one page at a time into the ADF. If you are working with photos or originals of an non-standard size (no smaller than 3.25 x 3.25 inches or 82 x 82 millimeters), load them in the ADF one page at a time.
