Placing Originals

Place your originals on the platen glass or in the feeder. For originals such as books and thick/thin paper which cannot
be loaded in the feeder, place the original on the platen glass. If you want to scan 2-sided originals or continue to scan
several sheets of originals, place them in the feeder. For more information about the types of originals that can be
placed on the platen glass or in the feeder, and information about the scannable area of an original, see
Specifications(P. 1029) .
Use originals that are completely dry
● When placing originals, make sure that any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the originals has completely
dried.
To avoid paper jams
Do not place the following types of originals in the feeder as this may cause paper jams:
● Wrinkled or creased paper
● Carbon paper or carbon-backed paper
● Curled or rolled paper
● Coated paper
● Torn originals
● Originals with large holes
● Onion skin or thin paper
● Stapled or clipped originals
● Paper printed by a thermal transfer printer
● Transparencies
To scan originals more accurately
● Originals placed in the feeder are scanned while being fed into the machine. On the other hand, originals
placed on the platen glass remain in a fixed position while they are scanned. To ensure more accurate
scanning results, placing originals on the platen glass is recommended.
To scan tracing paper or transparencies
● To scan transparent originals (for example, tracing paper or transparencies), place them on the platen glass
and cover them with plain white paper.
