Specifying the Original Size and Scan Method

Specifying the original size ([Original Size])

The size of the original is detected automatically. If the size of the original is not detected correctly, select a key that indicates the size of the original to be scanned.

If the machine cannot detect the size of irregular sized originals, manually specify the size.

For details, refer to Here.

Specifying the binding position of the original ([Binding Position])

When scanning a 2-sided original, specify the binding position of the original in [Binding Position] to prevent the binding position from being reversed between the front and rear faces.

For details, refer to Here.

Specifying the original loading direction ([Original Direction])

When scanning a 2-sided original etc..., you can specify the original loading direction so that the vertical direction is set correctly.

For details, refer to Here.

Scanning originals of different sizes at one time ([Mixed Original])

Even for an original containing pages of different sizes, by using the ADF, you can scan data while the size of each page is detected.

For details, refer to Here.

NOTICE
  • Load all the original pages into the ADF so that the top edges of the pages are toward the back or the left side of the machine.

The following chart shows the possible combinations of standard-sized paper that can be used for the Mixed Original setting.

Scanning an original thinner than normal paper ([Thin Paper Original])

Reduce the original feed speed of the ADF to prevent thin paper from getting caught.

For details, refer to Here.

Scanning a folded original ([Z-Folded Original])

The size of the original - even folded originals - can be detected accurately.

If a folded original is loaded into the ADF, the size of the original may not be detected properly. To scan a folded original through the ADF, use [Z-Folded Original].

For details, refer to Here.

NOTICE
  • Unfold folded originals before loading them into the ADF. If a folded original is not unfolded before scanning, a paper jam or an erroneous size detection may occur.

Scanning while removing dust in the slit glass ([Despeckle])

When scanning an original that has been placed into the ADF, scanning of the original and removal of dust from the Slit Scan Glass are performed alternately so that the original is always scanned on clean Slit Scan Glass.

It takes longer to finish scanning, compared to the normal operation.

For details, refer to Here.

Scanning a number of originals in several batches ([Separate Scan])

If the number of original sheets is so large that they cannot be loaded into the ADF at the same time, you can load them in several batches and handle them as one job.

In [Separate Scan], you can switch between the ADF and the Original Glass for scanning the originals.

  1. Load the original.
    NOTICE
    • Do not load more than 150 sheets 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 mark. Doing so may cause an original paper jam, damage the originals, and/or load to the ADF failure.
  2. Tap [Application] - [No. of Originals] - [Separate Scan], and set to [ON].
  3. Press the Start key.

    The original is scanned.

  4. Load the next original, then press Start key.
    • If desired, tap [Change Setting] to change the copy settings according to the new original.
  5. Repeat Step 4 until all pages of the original are scanned.
  6. After all originals are scanned, tap [Finish] and press the Start key.

    Copying begins.

Related setting
  • You can select whether to scan originals continuously at all times even though [Separate Scan] is not specified when scanning originals using the Original Glass (Default: [OFF]). For details, refer to Here.
  • You can select the timing that the copy begins when scanning an original by specifying [Separate Scan]. (Default:[Page Print]) For details, refer to Here.

Copying multiple originals in different settings collectively ([Program Jobs])

Originals are scanned with different settings for each set, and copied collectively. Use this function when various types of originals are mixed, such as 1-sided original to be printed on one side of paper, and 2-sided original to be copied by enlarging.

After all originals have been scanned, you can add page numbers or finishing functions, such as sort, to copy them.

  • When you set [Program Jobs], [Group] cannot be selected in [Finishing].
  1. Load the original.
  2. Tap [Application] - [Others] - [Program Jobs], and set to [ON].
  3. Configure the copy settings, then press Start.

    The original is scanned.

  4. To fix the scan result, tap [Yes].
    • To scan the original again, tap [No]. Tap [Change Setting] to change the copy settings.
    • When the original has been placed on the Original Glass, tap [Finish].
  5. Load the next original and tap [Change Setting].
  6. Configure the copy settings, then press Start.
    • Repeat Steps 3 to 5 until all originals have been scanned.
  7. After all original pages have been scanned, tap [Finish].
  8. Tap [Yes].
  9. Specify finish settings as required, then tap [Start].

    Copying begins.
