Loading Special Originals
Suggested Tray Positions
Based on the type and size of the scanned originals, extend the input and output trays to the suggested
position shown in the tables below. If the originals fall from the tray, raise the stopper. Depending on the
length of the originals, adjust the position of the stopper as necessary.
You can load originals that meet the document specifications in the input tray.
Caution: Do not load photos, or valuable original documents or artwork, directly into the input tray. This
may wrinkle or damage the original. Load these originals using an optional carrier sheet.
The steps below describe loading originals of the same size. To load originals of multiple sizes at once,
see the link at the end of these steps.
1.Set the feed selector lever to(DS-30000) or(DS-32000).
2.Open the input tray and pull up its extension.
36
3.Pull out the output tray and its extension, and open the stopper.
Note: If you are loading an original that is 15.5 inches (393.8 mm) or longer, do not pull out the input
or output tray extensions and do not open the stopper.
37
4.Slide the input tray edge guides all the way out.
5.If you are loading a multi-page original, fan your stack of originals.
Note: If you are loading an original that is 15.5 inches (393.8 mm) or longer, load only one sheet at a
time.
6.Stack the originals with the printed side facing down and slide the stack so the leading edge is at an
angle as shown.
38
7.Load standard originals into the input tray printed side down and top edge first, and guide them in
until they meet resistance.
• If you are loading paper business cards, load up to 36 cards printed side down and short edge first
into the input tray horizontally, and slide them in until they meet resistance.
39
40
• If you are loading hole-punched originals, load them with the holes facing down or to the side as
shown. The holes must be within 1.2 inches (30 mm) of the edge of the originals.
• If you are loading A3 (11.7 × 16.5 inches [297 × 420 mm]) originals with fold lines, load them as
shown below.

ejected originals.
Note: If thicker paper does not eject properly or falls from the output tray, push in the output tray and
allow the originals to eject freely onto the surface below the scanner. If the scanned images are
affected by the originals ejecting below the scanner, try placing the scanner on the edge of a table
where the ejected originals can drop freely.
