If you selected "SPF (Duplex-Book)" or "SPF

menu, select whether the orientation of the
placed original is "Right edge is fed first" or
"Top edge is fed first".
If the angle of the image is not correct, reset
the original, and click the "Preview" button
again.

If you set multiple pages in the RSPF, the
machine previews only the top page of the
originals, and then sends it to the original
exit area. Return the previewed original to
the RSPF before starting the scanning job.
