Using the ADF unit

The automatic document feeder (ADF) is a fast, convenient way to feed multiple-page originals for copying or digital-sending. You can load the ADF with as many as 30 sheets of paper. The ADF accepts documents that meet the following specifications:

●single-sided or double-sided originals

●documents on standard letter-size, A4-size, and legal-size paper

●documents ranging in size from 148.5 by 210.0 mm (5.9 by 8.3 inches) to 215.9 by 355.6 mm (8.5 by 14.0 inches)

●documents ranging in weight from 50 to 105 g/m2 (16 to 28lb)

●documents that are free of tears or perforations

●documents that are square or rectangular and in good condition (not fragile or worn)

●documents that are free of glue, correction fluid, wet ink, sticky notes, tape flags, staples, or paper clips

CAUTION

Do not use multipart forms.

The ADF transports the original document through the ADF paper path. Copies made using the ADF are delivered to the output bin beneath the scan unit.
