6 Using Special Papers

Placing Originals for Copying, Scanning, or Faxing

Before you copy, scan, or fax, place your documents on the scanner glass or in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). Place photos on the scanner glass only.

Using the Scanner Glass

You can place a photo or a document up to letter-size (or A4-size) on the scanner glass.

1. Open the document cover.

2. Place your original facedown on the scanner glass, with the top against the back left corner.

3. Close the cover gently to keep your original in place.

Note: If the edges of your document or photo are cut off, move the document or photo 1/4 inch (5 mm) away from the corner of the scanner glass.

Using the Automatic Document Feeder

You can place up to 30 letter- or A4-size sheets (single- or double-sided), or 10 legal-size sheets (single-sided only) in the ADF.

1. Open the ADF paper support, and then move the edge guide outward.

2. Fan the originals, then tap them on a flat surface to even the edges.

Placing Originals for Copying, Scanning, or Faxing 7

3. Insert the originals faceup, top edge first. The ADF icon appears on the screen.

Note: If you’re using the 2-up Copy layout, make sure the originals are loaded as shown below.

4. Slide the edge guide against the originals, but not too tight.

Printing From a Memory Card

Your product lets you print photos directly from your digital camera’s memory card; just insert it into the memory card slot and you’re ready to print.

See the online User’s Guide for instructions on copying memory card files between your product and a computer, and printing photos directly from your camera.

Inserting the Card

1. Make sure the product is turned on.

2. Insert your card into the correct slot as shown. Insert just one card at a time. For a list of compatible memory cards, see the online User’s Guide.

Caution: Do not force the card into the slot; it won’t go in all the way. If your memory card requires an adapter, attach it before inserting the card into the slot. Otherwise, the card might get stuck.

The memory card access light flashes, then stays lit. Now you can view your photos on the LCD screen and print them (see page 10).
