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
Note
SCX-6322DN has the DADF function which can let you scan on
both sides of the original media at once. See 8.7.
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 40 sheets of paper (75 g/m2) for one
job. (SCX-6122FN only)
Note
In case of SCX-6322DN, 50 sheets of paper (75 g/m2) can be
loaded 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. In case of SCX-6122FN, make sure that you do not
load paper smaller than 172 x 148 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.
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.
• 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.
