Load an original in the document feeder

You can copy, scan, or fax a document by placing it in the document feeder.

CAUTION: Do not load photos in the document feeder; this might cause damage to your photos. Use only paper that is supported by the document feeder.

For more information, see Tips for selecting and using paper on page 22.

NOTE: Scanning double-sided documents on A4, Letter-, or legal-size paper can only be supported by some models of the printer ADF.

NOTE: Some features, such as the Fit to Page copy feature, do not work when you load your originals in the ADF. You must load your originals on the scanner glass.

The document feeder tray holds a maximum of 35 or 50 sheets of plain A4-, Letter-, or legal-size paper, depending on the printer model.

To load an original in the document feeder

Use these steps to load a document in the ADF.

1.Load your original print-side up into the ADF.

a.If you are loading an original printed in portrait orientation, place the pages so that the top edge of the document goes in first. If you are loading an original printed in landscape orientation, place the pages so that the left edge of the document goes in first.

b.Slide the paper into the ADF until you hear a tone or see a message on the display indicating that the loaded pages were detected.

TIP: For more help on loading originals in the ADF, refer to the diagram engraved in the document feeder tray.

2.Slide the paper-width guides inward until they stop at the left and right edges of the paper.
