originals. Place originals horizontally when printing with a preset copy ratio, such as
when enlarging an A4 or A5 original onto A3 paper. (See Changing the Copy Ratio,
on p. 1-36.)
Horizontally placed A4 and A5 originals are referred to as A4R and A5R.
A3 originals must be placed horizontally.
To achieve the same output orientation using the optional feeder as when the original is
placed on the platen glass, place the original upside down and face up. However, if an
appropriate size of paper is not loaded for the Staple mode, the output is rotated
automatically.

books. Doing so may damage the
platen glass and result in personal
injury.
NOTE
When scanning is complete, lift the
feeder/platen cover, and remove the
original from the platen glass.

Feeder (DADF-P2) (Optional)
You should use the feeder when you want to copy several originals at a time. With
the feeder, the machine automatically feeds the originals to the scanning area and
scans them. If you are copying in the 2-Sided mode, two-sided originals can also
be automatically turned over and scanned as two-sided documents.
1 You can place the following originals into the feeders original supply tray:
Weight:
Basic Operations
- 52 g/m2 to 105 g/m2 (37 g/m2 to 52 g/m2 and 106 g/m2 to 128 g/m2 when
scanning a single page document)
Size:
- A4, A4R, A3, A5, and A5R
Tray capacity:
- A4, A4R, A5, and A5R: 50 sheets (80 g/m2)
- A3: 25 sheets (80 g/m2)
IMPORTANT
Do not place the following types of originals into the feeder:
- Originals with tears or large binding holes
- Severely curled originals or originals with sharp folds
- Clipped or stapled originals
- Carbon backed paper or other originals which may not feed smoothly
- Transparencies and other highly transparent originals
If the same original is fed through the feeder repeatedly, the original may fold or become
creased, and make feeding impossible. Limit repeated feeding to a maximum of
30 times. (This number may vary, depending on the type and quality of the original.)
If the feeder rollers are dirty from scanning originals written in pencil, clean the feeder.
(See Chapter 6, Routine Maintenance, in the Reference Guide.)
Always smooth out any folds in your originals before placing them into the feeder.
Set the originals one by one if they are very thin (37 g/m2 to 52 g/m2) or very thick
(106 g/m2 to 128 g/m2).

1 Adjust the slide guides to fit the
size of your originals.
Basic Operations
2 Neatly place your originals with
the side to be copied face up into
the original supply tray.
Place your originals as far into the feeder as
they will go.
Original Output Area IMPORTANT

Do not add or remove originals while they
are being scanned.
When scanning is complete, remove the
originals from the original output area to
avoid paper jams.
NOTE
When you are enlarging an A4 or A5 original onto A3 paper, place the original
horizontally.
The scanned originals are output to the original output area in the order that they are fed
into the feeder.
You can place different size originals together into the feeder if you set the Different Size
Originals mode. (See Different Size Originals, on p. 2-20.)

Feeding Paper Using the Stack Bypass

If you are making prints on transparencies, labels, nonstandard paper size stock, or
envelopes, load the paper stock into the stack bypass.
IMPORTANT
If you are using the stack bypass as a paper source for the Copy function, you must
select the stack bypass when specifying the Auto Drawer Selection setting. (See
Automatic Paper Selection, on p. 1-28.)
Paper loaded on the stack bypass must meet the following requirements:
- Paper Quantity: one to approximately 80 sheets (80 g/m2, stacked approximately 5 mm
high)
- Paper Size: 95 mm 148 mm to 297 mm 432 mm
- Paper Weight: 64 g/m2 to 128 g/m2
Rolled or curled paper must be straightened out prior to use, to allow the paper to feed
smoothly through the stack bypass (allowable curl amount: less than 10 mm for normal
paper, less than 5 mm for heavyweight paper).
If the paper has absorbed moisture while in storage in a humid environment, it may not
be possible to feed the paper into the stack bypass. In this case, set the amount of paper
to fewer than 40 sheets (80 g/m2).
1-14 Basic Copying

Do not load different size/type paper at the same time.
Feed label sheets one sheet at a time, and remove each sheet as it is delivered to the
output tray. Loading several label sheets together may cause paper jams.
Loading multiple sheets of heavyweight paper into the stack bypass may cause a paper
jam, depending on the type of heavyweight paper you want to use. Load only one sheet
at a time.
When printing on special types of paper, such as heavyweight paper or transparencies,
be sure to set the correct paper type, especially if you are using heavyweight paper. If the
type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image.

Make sure that the differently sized originals are of the same weight (paper type).
If originals with different widths are placed in the feeder, set the differently sized originals
in the following combinations. Other combinations may damage the originals.
- A4R and A5 or A3 and A4
Align the top edge of the originals with the back edge of the feeder if you are placing
originals with different widths. (Width refers to the vertical measurement of the paper
from the front of the machine to the back of the machine when the paper is placed in the
feeder.)
If you place originals with different widths into the feeder, the originals may move slightly
when fed to the platen glass. As a result, the images may be scanned and copied as
slanted.
If the Different Size Originals mode is set, the scanning speed may be slower than
normal.

Auto Orientation
If <Auto Orientation> is set to On, the machine uses information such as the size
of the original and the copy ratio to determine the most suitable orientation for the
specified paper size, and then automatically rotates the image, if necessary.
NOTE
The default setting is On.
If you select the paper size manually, the Automatic Orientation print cannot be made
even if you set <Auto Orientation> to On from the Copy Settings menu.
3 If the Different Size Originals mode is set in combination with the Auto Paper Selection
mode, Auto Orientation is not performed.
If the size of the original is not detected, the image is not rotated, even if <Auto
Orientation> is set to On.
If A4 or A5 originals are enlarged onto A3 paper, Auto Orientation is not performed even
if you select On.
Only the images on standard size originals, up to A4 paper, can be rotated when the
copy ratio is set to 100%.
If the Auto Paper Selection mode is set and the most suitable paper size is not available,
the paper source that is loaded with paper of the same size, even if the orientation is
different, is displayed as the optimal paper to use.

Sharpness
The Sharpness mode enables you to make copies with a sharper or softer contrast.
To reproduce text or lines with a sharper contrast, increase the sharpness level. To
copy originals containing printed images or other halftones with a softer contrast,
decrease the sharpness level. 3
Low
If you make copies of an original containing halftones, such as a printed image, using the
Photo mode, the moir effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. In this case, you
can lessen this moir effect by reducing the sharpness level to produce a clearer copy.
