Positioning the Original
Use the original glass when the original is not suitable for use with the ADF, e.g., when size is incompatible, or when the original is folded, stapled, torn, or in generally poor condition.
Open the ADF.
Position the original FACE DOWN to align its corner with the left rear corner.
Set the original in the same direction as that of the original direction icon displayed on the COPY screen.
Set originals in the same direction as that of the original set direction icon on the screen; otherwise the copy result may not be satisfactory. Especially when using 2-sided mode, Staple, Fold & Staple, Multi Half-Fold or Booklet, pay special attention for direction of the original. For details, refer to Direction: Setting Direction of Original.
With No Image Area Erase selected in the Application setting, the ADF should be kept open while scanning the original.
Gently close the ADF to prevent the original from shifting on the glass.
