Reference

Loading the original into the ADF

The ADF feeds original sheets one by one in order from the top, and automatically loads them. It also loads a 2-sided original automatically.

The ADF is helpful when loading a large number of original.

  1. Widen the Lateral Guide.

  2. Put the first page of an original at the top, and load the original into the Original Tray with the required side facing upward.

    supplementary explanationLoad the original so that its top side is placed at the back. When loading in a different orientation, be sure to specify the loading direction of originals.

    supplementary explanationFor details on the loading direction of originals, refer to [Specifying the original loading direction (Original Direction)] .

    NOTICE
    • Do not load more than 100 sheets (21-1/4 lb (80 g/m)) at a time into the Original Tray, and do not load the sheets up to the point where the top of the stack is higher than the down point triangle mark. Doing so may cause the originals to jam, damage the originals, and/or an ADF failure. However, if the original contains more than 100 sheets (21-1/4 lb (80 g/m)), it can be scanned separately.

  3. Slide the Lateral Guide to fit the loaded original.
