Placing Originals on the Scanner Glass

You can place originals up to this size on the scanner glass: Legal (8.5 × 14 inches [216 × 356 mm]).
Note: When originals are placed in the ADF and on the scanner glass, priority is given to the originals in the ADF.
  1. Press the  help button and select How To > Place Originals > Scanner Glass.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
    Caution:
    Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers when opening or closing the document cover. Do not push down on the document cover or scanner glass or you may damage the product.
    Note: If there is any dust or dirt on the scanner glass, the scanning range may expand to include it, so the image of the original may be displaced or reduced. Use a soft, dry, clean cloth to remove any dust and dirt on the scanner glass before scanning. When placing bulky originals such as books, prevent exterior light from shining directly onto the scanner glass.
    Note: The edges of your original may be cropped by 0.06 inch (1.5 mm) from the edge of the scanner glass. Manually position your original away from the edges to prevent cropping.
    Note: Do not press with too much force on the original; otherwise, blurring, smudges, and spots may occur. If the original has folds or wrinkles, smooth them out before loading it on the scanner glass. Images may be blurry at the parts where the original is not in close contact with the scanner glass.
Remove your originals after scanning. If you leave the originals on the scanner glass for a long time, they may stick to the glass surface.
