3.10 Loading originals
Two ways of loading the original
The original may be loaded in the automatic document feeder or placed di-
rectly on the original glass. Choose the appropriate method according to the
type of the original.

Loading originals in the automatic document feeder
The automatic document feeder automatically feeds originals one page after
another so that the machine can scan the data on each page. After the ma-
chine finishes scanning the data, the automatic document feeder ejects the
page into the exit tray. To ensure the best possible performance of the auto-
matic document feeder, use only originals of the specified type.
Precautions for loading paper into the automatic document feeder
The following types of originals are not suitable for use in the automatic doc-
ument feeder, as a misfeed or damaged original could result. Place such
types of originals on the original glass.
- Typing paper, paraffin paper, and other thin paper
- Cards
- Originals larger than Legal L or smaller than Half Letter
- OHP transparencies, translucent paper
- Wrinkled, dog-eared, curled, or torn originals
- Clipped or stapled originals
- Coated originals such as carbon-backed paper
- Up to 19 A4-size document pages can be scanned and stored in the
memory at one time. However, if the optional expansion memory is in-
stalled, up to 180 scanned pages can be stored.
