      Placing Documents
      Place a document on the platen glass or in the feeder. For documents such as books and thick/thin paper which cannot be loaded in the feeder, place the document on the platen glass. If you want to scan 2-sided documents or continue to scan several sheets of documents, place them in the feeder. For more information about the types of documents that can be placed on the platen glass or in the feeder, and information about the scannable area of a document, see Specifications.
      IMPORTANT
      Use documents that are completely dry
      When placing documents, make sure that any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the documents has completely dried.
      To avoid paper jams
      Do not place the following types of documents in the feeder as this may cause paper jams:
      Wrinkled or creased paper
      Carbon paper or carbon-backed paper
      Curled or rolled paper
      Coated paper
      Torn documents
      Onion skin or thin paper
      Stapled or clipped documents
      Paper printed by a thermal transfer printer
      Transparencies
       
      NOTE
      To scan documents more accurately
      Documents placed in the feeder are scanned while being fed into the machine. On the other hand, documents placed on the platen glass remain in a fixed position while they are scanned. To ensure more accurate scanning results, placing documents on the platen glass is recommended.
      To scan tracing paper or transparencies
      To scan transparent documents (for example, tracing paper or transparencies), place them on the platen glass and cover them with plain white paper.
      Placing Documents on the Platen Glass
      1
      Open the feeder.
      NOTE:
      If you place a document for which the opening of the feeder is insufficient, the size of the document may not be properly detected.
      2
      Place the document face down on the platen glass.
      Align the corner of the document with the top-left corner of the platen glass.
      NOTE:
      When copying 2-sided document, place the document so that the top and the bottom are properly positioned, as shown in the illustration below.
      3
      Gently close the feeder.
      Documents are ready for scanning.
      When scanning is complete, remove the documents from the platen glass.
      Placing Documents in the Feeder
      1
      Spread the document guides apart.
      Slide the document guides outward until they are slightly farther apart than the actual document width.
      When placing large-sized documents, pull out the document supply tray extension to prevent them from dropping over the edge of the feeder.
      2
      Fan the document stack and align the edges.
      Fan the document stack in small batches, and align the edges by lightly tapping the stack on a flat surface a few times.
      3
      Place the document face up in the feeder.
      IMPORTANT:
      Make sure that the document stack does not exceed the load limit lines (). If you place documents that exceed the limit, they may not be scanned or may cause a paper jam.
      Always smooth out any folds in your documents before placing them into the feeder. If the document is folded, an error screen may be displayed because the document size cannot be detected correctly.
      NOTE:
      When copying 2-sided document, place the document so that the top and the bottom are properly positioned, as shown in the illustration below.
      4
      Align the document guides against the edges of the document.
      Slide the document guides inward until they are aligned securely against the edges of the document.
      Documents are ready for scanning.
      IMPORTANT:
      Align the document guides securely against the edges of the document
      Document guides that are too loose or too tight can cause misfeeds or paper jam.
      While documents are being scanned
      Do not add or remove documents.
      When scanning is complete
      Remove the scanned documents from beneath the feeder to prevent paper jams. If documents remain, the document output indicator blinks.
