Understanding the ADF and scanner glass
Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) Scanner glass
Use the ADF for multiple-page documents.
Use the scanner glass for single pages, small items (such as postcards or
photos), transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine
clippings).
You can use the ADF or the scanner glass to scan documents.
Using the ADF
The ADF can scan multiple pages, including duplex pages. If duplex settings are selected, the ADF scans both sides
of the page automatically. When using the ADF:
• Load the document into the ADF faceup, short edge first.
• Load up to 50 sheets of plain paper in the ADF input tray.
• Scan sizes from 125 x 127 mm (4.92 x 5.0 in.) to 215.9 x 355.6 mm (8.5 x 14 in.).
• Scan documents with mixed page sizes (letter and legal).
• Scan media weights from 52 to 120 g/m

• Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine
clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
