When you load a 2-sided document, the
document must be from 148.0 to 215.9 mm
(5.8 to 8.5 inches) wide and from 148.0 to
297.0 mm (5.8 to 11.7 inches) long.
For information on the capacity of the ADF

Loading documents and paper
Using the scanner glass2
You can use the scanner glass to scan, or
copy the pages of a book or single sheets of
paper. Documents can be up to 215.9 mm
wide and up to 355.6 mm long (8.5 inches
wide to 14 inches long).
To use the scanner glass, the ADF must be
empty.
a Lift the document cover.
Acceptable paper and
other media2
Print quality may vary according to the type of
paper you use.
You can use the following types of media:
plain paper, transparencies, labels or
envelopes.
For best results, follow the instructions below:
Use paper made for plain paper copying.
Use paper that is 75 to 90 g/m
24 lb).
Use labels or transparencies which are
designed for use in laser printers.
When using transparencies remove each
sheet immediately to prevent smudging or
paper jams.
Let printed paper cool down before
removing it from the output tray.
Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph
value, and a moisture content around 5%.

b Using the document guidelines on the
left, center the document face down on
the scanner glass.
c Close the document cover.
If the document is a book or is thick, do not
slam the cover or press on it.
CAUTION
Recommended media2
To get the best print quality, we suggest using
the following paper.
keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and
away from moisture, direct sunlight and
heat.
Avoid touching either side of
transparencies, as this can decrease the
print quality.
Only use transparencies recommended
for laser printing.
Only use sharply creased envelopes.
Improper Setup
Do not use any of the following paper, as
they will cause paper feed problems:
damaged, coated, curled, wrinkled, highly
textured, irregularly shaped, or paper that
has previously been printed on by a printer.
