Placing Originals

Basic Operations
Orientation
You can place an original either vertically or horizontally. Always align the top edge
of your original with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in the top left
corner) or the back edge of the feeder.
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 that you have set.
•
LTR and STMT originals can be placed either vertically or horizontally. However, the
scanning speed for horizontally placed originals is somewhat slower than vertically
placed originals. Place originals horizontally when scanning with a Preset Zoom, such as
when enlarging an LTR original onto 11" x 17" paper.
•
Horizontally placed LTR and STMT originals are referred to as LTRR and STMTR.
•
12" x 18", 11" x 17", and LGL originals must be placed horizontally.
