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).
Using the ADF
The ADF can scan multiple pages, including two-sided pages on some models. When using the ADF:
• Load the document into the ADF faceup, short edge first.
• Adjust the paper guides to touch the sides of the paper loaded.
• Remove staples before loading.
• Separate punched sheets before loading.
• Load up to 50 sheets of plain paper in the ADF input tray, based on 75 g/m

(20 lb.) paper.
• Scan sizes from 124.46 x 127 mm (4.9 x 5 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

(14 to 32 lb).
• 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.
