1.2 Loading Documents on the ADF for Scanning
1. Align the edges of the documents.
1) Confirm that all the documents have the same width.
2 ) Check the number of the sheets in the document stack.
The standard number of sheets that can be loaded on the scanner is as follows:
•A4-size paper or smaller that makes a document stack of 10mm or less (100 sheets
at 64 g/m2)
•A3-size paper or smaller that makes a document stack of 5mm or less (50 sheets at
64 g/m2)
2. Fan the documents as follows:
1) Lightly grip both ends of the documents with both hands, and bend the documents as fol-
lows.
2 Hold the documents firmly with both hands and bend them back as follows so that the
bent section rises up in the middle of the stack as shown below.
3 Repeat steps 1) to 3) a couple of times.
4 Rotate documents 90 degrees, and fan again.
