Preparing originals
•Do not load paper smaller than 142 x 148 mm (5.6 x 5.8 inches) or
larger than 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).
•Do not attempt to load the following types of paper, in order to prevent
paper jam, low print quality and machine damage.
-Carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper
-Coated paper
-Onion skin or thin paper
-Wrinkled or creased paper
-Curled or rolled paper
-Torn paper
-Used paper (Something previously printed on side one)
•Remove all staples and paper clips before loading.
•Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely
dry before loading.
•Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper.
•Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents with
other unusual characteristics.
Loading originals
You can use the scanner glass or the automatic document feeder to load an
original for copying, scanning and sending a fax.

On the scanner glass

Make sure that no originals are in the document feeder. If an original is
detected in the document feeder, the machine gives it priority over the
original on the scanner glass. To get the best scan quality, especially for
colored or gray-scaled images, use the scanner glass.
1. Lift and open the scanner lid.
2. Place the original face down on the scanner glass. And align it with the
registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.
3. Close the scanner lid.
•Leaving the scanner lid open while copying will create a black
copy, and consume a great deal of toner.
•Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the printout.
Always keep it clean (See "Cleaning the scan unit" on page 3).
•If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the
scanner lid until its hinges are caught by the stopper and then
close the lid. If the book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm,
start copying with the lid open.
