LOADING ORIGINALS
You can use the scanner glass or ADF to load an original for copying,
scanning, and sending a fax.

On the scanner glass

Ensure that no originals are in the ADF. If an original is detected in the ADF,
the printer gives it priority over the original on the scanner glass. To get the
best scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled images, use the
scanner glass.
1. Lift and open the scanner lid.
2. Place the original face down on the scanner glass and align it with the
registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.
• Printing on special print materials
• Setting the paper size and type
3. Close the scanner lid.
• Be careful not to break the scan glass. You may get hurt.
• Be careful not to let the scan cover fall over your hands. You may
get hurt.
• When scanning or copying, do not look at the light inside the
scanner. It is harmful for your eyes and it can be dangerous.
• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy quality
and toner consumption.
• Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the printout.
Always keep the scanner glass clean.
• If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the scanner
lid until its hinges are caught by the stopper and then close the lid.
If the book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm, start copying with
the lid open.

In the ADF

Using the ADF, you can load up to 15 sheets of paper (75 g/m
for one job.
When you use the ADF:
• In the ADF: Do not load paper smaller than 142 x 148 mm (5.6 x

• Remove all staples and paper clips before loading.
• Ensure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry
before loading.

other unusual characteristics.
