Placing Standard Size Originals

1. Extend the input tray extension. Slide out the output tray, extend the output tray extension, and then raise the stopper.

Note:

❏ For A4 size or larger originals, make sure you pull out and extend the input tray extension.

❏ Make sure you pull out and extend the output tray extensions so that they are a little bit longer than the length of the

original, and raise the stopper so that the ejected originals can be stacked comfortably on the output tray.

❏ e stopper can move forward and backward on the output tray extension so that you can easily adjust the stopper

position to the best position for the originals being scanned.

❏ If thick originals bump into the output tray and fall from it, store the output tray and do not use it to stack the

ejected originals.

❏ If scanned images are still aected by ejected originals hitting the surface below the scanner, we recommend placing

the scanner on the edge of a table where the ejected originals can drop freely and you can catch them.

2. Slide the edge guides on the input tray all the way out.

❏ When scanning originals with punch holes such as loose leaf paper, load the originals with the holes facing to the side

or facing down. ere must not be any holes within a 30 mm (1.2 inches) strip at the center of the originals. However, there can be holes within 30 mm (1.2 inches) from the leading edge of the originals. Make sure that the edges of the punch holes do not have burrs or curls.

❏ When scanning thin paper with crinkles that are causing paper jams or double feeds, you may be able to improve the
