AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER
Originals set in the automatic document feeder will be automatically fed and copied sequentially.
The automatic document feeder will simultaneously scan both sides of originals when two-sided to one-sided or two-
sided to two-sided copying is being done.
Acceptable originals
A stack of up to 50 original sheets (30 original sheets*
1
for 8-1/2" x 14" (B4) or larger) of the same size paper can be
set in the document feeder tray provided the stack height is within the limit shown below.
A stack of up to 30 mixed size originals can be set if the width of the originals is the same and the stack height is within
the limit shown below. In this case, however, stapling and duplex will not function and some special functions may not
give the expected result.
*1 For paper heavier than 28 lbs. (105 g/m
2
), only a stack of up to 15 sheets can be set. Setting 16 or more sheets may
cause incorrect scanning of original and scanned image may become expanded compared with original itself.
Notes on use of the automatic document feeder
Use originals within the specified size and weight ranges. Use of originals out of the specified range may cause
an original misfeed.
Before loading originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.
If originals have damp spots from correction fluid, ink or glue from pasteups, be sure they are dried before they
are fed. If not, the interior of the document feeder or the document glass may be soiled.
To prevent incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds or smudges on copies, use the following as a guide
for feeding originals.
Transparency film, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals printed with thermal transfer ink
ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the feeder should not be
damaged, crumpled or folded or have loosely pasted paper on them or cutouts in them. Originals with multiple
punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly.
When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the punched edge is at a position other than the
feed slot.
