Basic Copying 7
EPSON AcuLaser CX11 Series Basic Operation Guide
Basic Copying
Setting your originals
You can load the original either on the
document table or in the Auto Document
Feeder (fax model only) depending on the
type of the original.
Note:
❏Before scanning a document, remember to
respect the rights of copyright owners. Do
not scan published text or images without
first checking their copyright status.
❏If documents are placed both in the Auto
Document Feeder and on the document table,
only the documents in the Auto Document
Feeder are scanned.
Document table
When using the document table, set an
original one sheet at a time.
cCaution:
❏Do not place heavy objects onthe glass
surface of the document table. Also, do
not press the glass surface with too
much force.
❏To scan an original correctly, set the
transportation lock on the left side of
the document table in the
unlocked position. See “Scanner
parts.”
1. Make sure the product is turned on, and
then open the document cover gently.
2. Place an original on the document table,
with the side to be scanned facing down.
Use the document guide strip to align
the horizontal edge of the document.

The area with a width of 1.5 mm from both
horizontal and vertical rulers cannot be scanned.
1. Maximum unreadable area of 1.5 mm
2. Maximum unreadable area of 1.5 mm
3. Close the document cover gently so that
the original does not move.
Note:
❏Always keep the document table clean.
❏Do not leave photos on the document table
for an extended period of time as they may
stick to the glass.
❏Make sure the document is flat against the
glass surface, otherwise the image will
appear fuzzy and out of focus. Also be sure
to close the document cover to prevent
interference from external light.
Auto Document Feeder (fax model only)
The Auto Document Feeder can
automatically feed up to 50 sheets.
cCaution:
To scan an original correctly, set the
transportation lock on the left side of the
document table in the unlocked

guides so they are flush with the edges
of your documents.

❏Make sure the ADF cover is closed firmly. If
the ADF cover is open, the document table is
preemptively scanned and a blank copy is
output even if an original is set on the Auto
Document Feeder.
❏If you load multiple pages in the Auto
Document Feeder, the pages will be fed from
the top and then ejected face-down.

❏When you place multiple documents in
the Auto Document Feeder and make a
continuous high quality (600 dpi) color

the product may not work properly
because of insufficient memory. We
recommend adding an memory module
so that the total memory size is 256 MB
or higher.
