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.

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.

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

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 and original output tray extension to prevent them from dropping over the edge of the feeder.

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.
). 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.
