2. Document feed operation
1) The original, which is set in the document hopper, feeds automati-
cally when the front sensor is activated. This in turn activates the
pulse motor which drives the document supply roller. The docu-
ment stops when the lead edge is detected by the document sen-
sor.
2) The lead edge of the original is fed a specified number of pulses
after the lead edge of the document is detected for the reading pro-
cess to begin.
3) The trailing edge of the original is fed a specific number of pulses
after the trailing edge of the document deactivates the document
sensor. The read process then stops and the original is discharged.
4) When the front sensor is in the OFF state (any document is not set
up in the hopper guide), the drive will be stopped when the docu-
ment is discharged.
3. Hopper mechanism
3.1. General view
The hopper section contains document guides that are used to adjust
the hopper to the width of the original document. This ensures that the
original feeds straight into the fax machine for scanning.
Document width: 148 mm to 216 mm (A5 longitudinal size to Letter
longitudinal size)
NOTE: Adjust the document guide after setting up the document.

3.2. Automatic document feed
1) Use of the paper feed roller and separate plate ensures error-free
transport and separation of documents. The plate spring presses
the document to the paper feed roller to assure smooth feeding of
the document.
2) Document separation method: Separate plate
Separate rubber

3.3. Documents applicable for automatic feed
Paper weight
Paper thickness (ref.)
Paper size
Feeder capacity
NOTE: Double-side coated documents and documents on facsimile
recording paper should be inserted manually. The document
feed quantity may be changed according to the document
thickness.
Documents corresponding to a paper weight heavier than 70 kg (80 g/
m2) and lighter than 135 kg (157 g/m2) are acceptable for manual
feed.
Documents heavier than 135 kg (157 g/m2) in terms of the paper
weight must be duplicated on a copier to make it operative in the fac-
simile.
3.4. Loading the documents
1. Make sure that the documents are of suitable size and thickness,
and free from creases, folds, curls, wet glue, wet ink, clips, staples
and pins.
2. Place documents face down in the hopper.
i) Adjust the document guides to the document size.
ii) Align the top edge of documents and gently place them into the
hopper. The first page under the stack will be taken up by the
feed roller to get ready for transmission.
NOTE: 1) Curled edge of documents, if any, must be straightened
out.
2) Do not load the documents of different sizes and/or thick-
nesses together.
