Loading the original into the Original Glass

Using the Original Glass allows you to scan an original such as a book or card, which is not available in the ADF. The maximum allowable weight of an original is 4-7/16 lb (2 kg).

preconditionThe Original Cover cannot be installed in the bizhub C658/C558/C458 environment

  1. Open the ADF or Original Cover.

    supplementary explanationOpen the ADF or Original Cover by an angle of 20 degrees or more. If the original is placed on the original glass without the ADF being lifted at least 20 degrees, the correct original size may not be detected.

  2. Load the original into the Original Glass with the required side facing downward.

    supplementary explanationPlace the top side of the original at the back, and align the original to the markArrow at the left back of the Original Scale. When loading in a different orientation, be sure to specify the loading direction of originals.

    supplementary explanationWhen copying a highly transparent original such as transparencies or tracing paper, place a blank sheet that is the same size as the original on the original to enable clear scanning.

    NOTICE
    • Do not place an original heavier than 4-7/16 lb (2 kg) on the original glass. Furthermore, do not use a excessive force to press down on a book or any other form of original that must be spread on the original glass. Otherwise, the machine may be damaged or a failure may occur.

  3. Close the ADF or Original Cover.

    NOTICE
    • When placing a thick book or a three-dimensional object, you do not need to close the ADF or Original Cover to scan it. A bright light may be emitted through the Original Glass. Be careful not to look directly at it. Note, however, that the light coming through the original glass is not a laser beam, and will not expose the user to related hazards.
