Loading Documents

Load documents in the following procedure:

• Loading Documents into the ADF
• Placing a Document on the Flatbed

Loading Documents into the ADF

1. If you are loading multiple sheets, check the documents.
   1. Check that the documents to be loaded are of the same width.
      Documents that are different in width can not be loaded together at a time.
   2. Check the number of sheets.
      Up to 50 sheets can be loaded (with paper weight of 80 g/m² [20 lb] and thickness of the document stack under 5 mm).
      
2. Fan the documents.
   Before loading a stack of documents, fan them by referring to "How to Fan Documents".
3. Set the ADF paper chute (feeder).
   
   

   

4. Lift up the stopper if needed.
   
   

   

5. Load the documents in the ADF paper chute (feeder).
   Load the document with the front side (scanning side) facing up.

   Important:

   Remove all paper clips and staples. Reduce the number of sheets if a multifeed or pick error occurs.

6. Adjust the side guides to the width of the document.
   Do not leave space between the side guides and the document.
   Otherwise, the document may be fed skewed.
