Loading originals
You can use the scanner glass or the document feeder to load an original for
copying, scanning, and sending a fax.
Illustrations in this user’s guide may differ from your machine depending on
the model and options installed. Check your machine type (see "Front view"
on page 21).
Using the scanner glass, you can copy or scan originals. You can get the best
scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled images. 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.
