LOADING ORIGINALS
You can use the scanner glass or the automatic document feeder to load an
original for copying, scanning, and sending a fax.
On the scanner glass
Make sure that no originals are in the document feeder. If an original is
detected in the document feeder, the machine gives it priority over the
original on the scanner glass. To get the best scan quality, especially for
colored or gray-scaled images, use the scanner glass.
1. L
ift and open the scanner lid.
2. Place the original face down on the scanner glass. And align it with the
registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.
3. Close the scanner lid.
• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy
quality and toner consumption.
• Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the
printout. Always keep it clean (See "Cleaning the scan unit" on
page 89).
• If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the
scanner lid until its hinges are caught by the stopper and then
close the lid. If the book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm,
s
tart copying with the lid open.
• Be careful not to break the scanner glass. You may get hurt.
• Do not put hands while closing the scanner lid. The scanner lid
ma
y fall on your hands and get hurt.
