PLACING THE ORIGINAL

An original can be placed in the SPF/RSPF or on the document glass. Use the SPF/RSPF when faxing a large number of sheet originals. Use the document glass to fax originals that cannot be scanned using the SPF/RSPF such as thick or thin sheet originals, or books or other bound originals.

USING THE SPF/RSPF

1 Open the SPF/RSPF, make sure that an original has not been left on the document glass, and then gently close the SPF/RSPF.

2 Adjust the original guides on the document feeder tray to the width of the document.

3 Align the edges of the document pages and then insert the stack in the document feeder tray so that the first page is face up.

• Insert the originals all the way into the document feeder tray.

• Make sure the stack does not exceed the indicator line (maximum of 40 sheets, or 30 sheets of 90 g/m2 (24 lbs.) paper, thickness 4 mm (5/32") or less).

Do not load originals that are different

Note

sizes even if the widths are the same. This

may cause misfeeds.

Use the SPF/RSPF for long originals. The document glass cannot be used.

When inserting a long original, the original should be in contact with the surface of the document feeder tray. If the original is not in contact with the surface of the document feeder tray, an incorrect original size may be detected.

USING THE DOCUMENT GLASS

1 Open the SPF/RSPF, place the original face down on the document glass, and then gently close the SPF/RSPF.

• If auto power shut-off has activated, press the [START] key, wait until the machine has returned to normal operation, and then place the original.

When transmitting a small original such as a postcard, be sure to press the [ORIGINAL SIZE] key and set the original size. (Page 13)

Regardless of the size of the original, place the original in the far left corner of the document glass. (Align the upper left-hand corner of the original with the tip of the mark.) Place the original in the appropriate position for its size as shown below.

The difference between A4 (8-1/2" x 11") and A4R (8-1/2" x 11"R)

This manual uses both A4 (8-1/2" x 11") and A4R (8-1/2" x 11"R) to indicate paper and original sizes. The "R" is used to distinguish the orientation of originals and paper. ("R" is used for this purpose for other sizes as well.)
