• Be careful not to break the scanner glass. You may get hurt.
• Do not put hands while closing the scanner lid. The scanner lid
may fall on your hands and get hurt.

scanning. It is harmful to eyes.
In the document feeder
Using the document feeder, you can load up to 50 sheets of paper (80 g/m2,
20 lb bond) for one job.
1. Flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before
loading originals.
2. Load the original face up into the document feeder. Make sure that the
bottom of the original stack matches the paper size marked on the
document input tray.
3. Adjust the document width guides to the paper size.
Dust on the document feeder glass may cause black lines on the
printout. Always keep the glass clean. (See "Cleaning the scan
unit" on page 105.)
SELECTING PRINT MEDIAYou can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the guidelines
for use with your machine.
Guidelines to select the print media
Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide
may cause the following problems:
•Poor print quality
•Increased paper jams
•Premature wear on the machine.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are
important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output
quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
•The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are
described in print media specifications. (See "Print media specifications"
on page 131.)
•Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for
your project.
•Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
sharper, more vibrant images.
•Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and
still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of
improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels,
or other variables over which cannot be controled.
• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it
meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.
Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause
problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by the
warranty or service agreements.
The amount of paper put into the tray may differ according to media type
used. (See "Print media specifications" on page 131.)
