Selecting Automatic/Manual Document Feed - Canon MultiPASSTM C50 User Manual

Selecting Automatic/Manual Document Feed

The document feed lever allows you to select whether the Automatic Document
Feeder (ADF) feeds documents automatically. If set to automatic document feed,
a multipage document will automatically feed page by page through the
Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). The icons below the document feed lever
show you which setting you should use according to your document: the icon
showing several sheets ( ) is for automatic document feed, and the icon showing
a single sheet ( ) is for manual feed.
Use automatic document feed ( ) for documents that meet the requirements on
page 6-2. However, if you have difficulty sending with this setting, or find that
several sheets feed into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) at the same
time, try using manual feed ( ).
For documents that do not meet the requirements on page 6-2, use manual
document feed ( ) and load one sheet at a time. These documents include very
thick or thin paper, small documents (postcards, business cards), documents with
uneven surfaces, photos, special types of paper (thick paper with a glossy finish,
for example), and carrier sheets.
In order to protect the surface or your photos and other delicate documents from
being damaged when feeding through the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF),
place the document in a carrier sheet. For details on the carrier sheet, contact
your authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
