Loading documents and paper a 2 2 Loading documents All fax, scan and copy operations can be performed from the ADF or the scanner glass. (Flatbed)
Unfold the ADF document output support flap (1).
1 Using the ADF You can use the ADF (automatic document feeder) to fax, scan or copy sheets of paper. The ADF feeds each sheet one at a time. When
loading the ADF, make sure that documents written with ink are completely dry. Single-Sided Document Documents must be from 148.0 to 215.
9 mm wide (5.8 to 8.5 inches) wide and 148.0 to 355.6 mm (5.
8 to 14 inches) long, and of a standard weight (80 gsm (20 lb)). 2-Sided Document (MFC-8860DN only) When you load a 2-sided document, the document
must be from 148.0 to 215.9 mm (5.8 to 8.5 inches) wide and 148.0 to 297.0 mm (5.8 to 11.7 inches) long.
For information on the capacity of the ADF see Specifications on page 155. CAUTION Do not use paper that is curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled,
paper-clipped, pasted or taped. 2 b c d Fan the pages well. Place your documents face up, top edge first in the ADF until you feel them touch the feed roller.
Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your documents. CAUTION To avoid damaging your machine while using the ADF, do not pull on the document
while it is feeding. To scan non standard documents, see Using the scanner glass (Flatbed) on page 11. Do not use cardboard, newspaper or fabric. 10
Loading documents and paper Using the scanner glass (Flatbed) You can use the scanner glass to fax, scan, or copy the pages of a book or single sheets of
paper. Documents can be up to 215.
9 mm wide to 355.6 mm long (8.5 inches wide to 14 inches long). To use the scanner glass, the ADF must be empty. 2 Acceptable paper and other media Print
quality may vary according to the type of paper you use.
You can use the following types of media: plain paper, transparencies, labels or envelopes. 2 2 For best results, follow the instructions below: Use paper
made for plain paper copying. Use paper that is 75 to 90 gsm (20 to 24 lb). Use labels or transparencies which are designed for use in laser printers. When
using transparencies remove each sheet immediately to prevent smudging or paper jams.
Let printed paper cool down before removing it from the output tray. Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph value, and a moisture content around 5%. a Lift
the document cover. Recommended media 2 b c Using the document guidelines on the left, centre the document face down on the scanner glass. Close the
document cover. CAUTION To get the best print quality, we suggest using the following paper. Paper Type Plain paper Item Xerox Premier 80 gsm Xerox
Business 80 gsm M-real DATACOPY 80 gsm Recycled paper Transparency Labels Xerox Recycled Supreme 3M CG 3300 Avery laser label L7163 If the
document is a book or is thick, do not slam the cover or press on it. 11 Chapter 2 Handling and using media Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it
sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat. Avoid touching either side of transparencies, as this can decrease the print
quality.
Only use transparencies recommended for laser printing. Only use sharply creased envelopes. Improper Setup 2 Do not use any of the following paper, as
they will cause paper feed problems: damaged, coated, curled, wrinkled, highly textured, irregularly shaped, or paper which has previously been printed on
