Original and Paper
Loading Originals
Place your originals on the platen glass or into the feeder, depending on the size and
type of the original, and the scan modes that you want to use.
Platen Glass
Place the originals on the platen glass when scanning bound originals (such as books and
magazines), heavyweight or lightweight originals, and transparencies.
Feeder
Place the originals into the feeder when you want to scan several originals at the same
time, and press (Start). The machine automatically feeds the originals to the scanning
area and scans them. Two‑sided originals can also be automatically turned over and
scanned as two‑sided originals.
Original Sizes
The size of the original is automatically detected, and the original is scanned. If the output
paper in the recipient’s machine is not equal to the scanned size, the original image may be
reduced in size or divided into smaller parts before it is sent.
The machine cannot always detect the size of the original if it is a nonstandard paper size,
such as a book. In this case, specify the size at which you want to scan the original. (See
“Document Size,” on p. 4‑20.)
