NOTE
•
If the top edge of the original is not aligned with the back edge of the platen glass (by the
arrow in the top left corner), your original may not be scanned correctly, depending on
the copy mode you have set.
• A4 and A5 originals can be placed either vertically or horizontally. However, the scanning
speed for horizontally placed originals is somewhat slower than for vertically placed
originals. Place originals horizontally when printing with a preset copy ratio, such as
when enlarging an A4 or A5 original onto A3 paper. (See “Changing the Copy Ratio,”
on p. 1-34.)
• Horizontally placed A4 and A5 originals are referred to as A4R and A5R.
• A3 originals must be placed horizontally.
• To achieve the same output orientation using the optional feeder as when the original is
placed on the platen glass, place the original upside down and face up. However, if an
appropriate size of paper is not loaded for the Staple mode, the output is rotated
automatically.

Platen Glass
You should use the platen glass when copying bound originals (such as books and
magazines), heavy or lightweight originals, and transparencies. When copying ID
cards using the ID Card Copy function, you must use the platen glass.
NOTE
When you are enlarging an A4 or A5 original onto A3 paper, place the original
horizontally on the platen glass, and align it with the A4R or A5R marks.
1 Lift the feeder/platen cover.
2 Place your original face down.
The original that you want to copy must be
placed face down. Align the top edge of your
original with the back edge of the platen
glass (by the arrow in the top left corner).
Place books and other bound originals on
the platen glass in the same way as
described above.

3 Gently close the feeder/platen
cover.
CAUTION
•Close the feeder/platen cover gently
to avoid catching your hands, as this
may result in personal injury.
•Do not press down hard on the
feeder/platen cover when using the
platen glass to make copies of thick
books. Doing so may damage the
platen glass and result in personal
injury.
NOTE
When scanning is complete, lift the
feeder/platen cover, and remove the
original from the platen glass.

Feeder (DADF-P2) (Optional)
You should use the feeder when you want to copy several originals at a time. With
the feeder, the machine automatically feeds the originals to the scanning area and
scans them. If you are copying in the 2-Sided mode, two-sided originals can also
be automatically turned over and scanned as two-sided documents.
You can place the following originals into the feeder’s original supply tray:
•Weight:
- 52 g/m2to 105 g/m2(37 g/m2to 52 g/m2and 106 g/m2to 128 g/m2when
scanning a single page document)
•Size:
- A4, A4R, A3, A5, and A5R
•Tray capacity:
- A4, A4R, A5, and A5R: 50 sheets (80 g/m2)
- A3: 25 sheets (80 g/m2)
IMPORTANT
• Do not place the following types of originals into the feeder:
- Originals with tears or large binding holes
- Severely curled originals or originals with sharp folds
- Clipped or stapled originals
- Carbon backed paper or other originals which may not feed smoothly
- Transparencies and other highly transparent originals
• If the same original is fed through the feeder repeatedly, the original may fold or become
creased, and make feeding impossible. Limit repeated feeding to a maximum of
30 times. (This number may vary, depending on the type and quality of the original.)
• If the feeder rollers are dirty from scanning originals written in pencil, clean the feeder.
(See Chapter 6, “Routine Maintenance,” in the Reference Guide.)
• Always smooth out any folds in your originals before placing them into the feeder.
• Set the originals one by one if they are very thin (37 g/m
2
to 52 g/m
2
) or very thick
(106 g/m
2
to 128 g/m

).
