Reference
  • If there are too many original sheets that cannot be loaded into the ADF at the same time, you can load them in several batches and handle them as one job. For details, refer to Here.
  • For an original with pages of different sizes, you can collectively load them into the ADF, and scan data while detecting the size for each page. For details, refer to Here.

Loading the original into the ADF

The ADF feeds original sheets one by one in order from the top, and automatically loads them. For a 2-sided original, the front and back sides are loaded simultaneously.

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.
    • Load 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.
    • For details on the loading direction of originals, refer to Here.
    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 the originals to jam, damage the originals and/or ADF failure. However, if the original contains more than 150 pages, it can be scanned separately.
  3. Slide the Lateral Guide to fit the loaded original.
