by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches)

Media weights from 60 to 90 g/m
2
(16 to 24 lbs)
● Media that is square- or rectangular-shaped and in good condition
● Media that is free of perforations or punch holes
● Media that is free of wet glue, correction fluid, or ink
Note Avoid putting multipart forms, transparencies, magazine pages,
gum-backed pages, and lightweight paper in the ADF.
