Placing Originals in the Automatic Document Feeder

You can place single- or multi-page original documents in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). You can also use the ADF to scan both sides of a 2-sided document. Make sure the originals meet the Automatic Document Feeder specifications before loading them.
Caution:
Do not load the following types of originals in the ADF, or they may be damaged or may damage the scanner. Use the scanner glass for these types:
  • Ripped, curled, folded, deteriorated, or wrinkled originals
  • Originals with holes
  • Originals containing staples or paper clips
  • Originals with carbon paper backing
  • Originals with labels, stickers, or sticky notes
  • Originals that are bound
  • Originals that are cut irregularly or not cut at a right angle
  • Photos or valuable artwork
  • Thermal paper
  • Transparencies
  • Fabric or other non-paper originals
  • Originals with uneven surfaces, such as embossed documents
  • Originals with wet ink
Note: When originals are placed in the ADF and on the scanner glass, priority is given to the originals in the ADF.
Note: Do not load originals above the line under the triangle symbol on the ADF edge guide. Do not load originals while scanning.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
