5 Loading originals and print
media
This chapter introduces you to how to load originals and print media into
your machine.
This chapter includes:
• Loading originals
• Selecting print media
• Loading paper
• Setting the paper size and type
• Verifying an output location
Loading originals
You can use the scanner glass or ADF to load an original for copying,
scanning, and sending a fax.
On the scanner glass
Make sure that no originals are in the ADF. If an original is detected in the
ADF, 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.
1Lift and open the scanner lid.
2Place the original face down on the scanner glass and align it with
the registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.
3Close the scanner lid.
In the ADF
Using the ADF, you can load up to 30 sheets of paper (75 g/m2) for one
job.
When you use the ADF:
• Do not load paper smaller than 142 x 148 mm or larger than
216 x 356 mm.
• Do not attempt to load the following types of paper:
- carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper
- coated paper
- onion skin or thin paper
- wrinkled or creased paper
- curled or rolled paper
- torn paper
• 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
having other unusual characteristics.
Notes
• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy
quality and toner consumption.
• Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the
printout. Always keep it clean.
