load originals and load paper
When you load your original document into the automatic document feeder
(ADF), you can copy it onto a variety of paper types, weights, sizes, and
transparency films. It's important to select the right paper, and to make sure it's
loaded correctly.

load originals
Load your original in the ADF, which is located above the front panel as
illustrated below, to copy it or to fax it.
If you are working with originals that are printed on 16-24 lb. (60-90 gsm) plain
paper or on HP Premium Inkjet Paper, you can load more than one page at a
time into the ADF. If you are working with photos or originals of an non-standard
size (no smaller than 3.25 x 3.25 inches or 82 x 82 millimeters), load them in
the ADF one page at a time. When working with fragile, torn, or odd-sized
originals, we recommend that you use a transparent document sleeve or sheet
protector (available from most office-product stores) for the original. Place a
single sleeve into the ADF with the sealed edge first and the transparent side
down.
Note: If you have trouble with originals feeding incorrectly, make sure the
ADF tray is snapped into position.
1 Place the original(s) in the ADF
with the printed side facing
toward the back and with the
top of the document pointing
down.
2 Adjust the document guides to
fit your document.
