0.Precautions for Originals
Acceptable originals
When the ADF (RADF or DSDF) is used, 2-sided originals can be automatically scanned one sheet after another. When
the original glass is used, originals such as OHP films, tracing paper, booklet or 3-dimensional objects, that cannot be
placed on the ADF can be scanned, as well as plain paper.
*For the originals whose paper weight is more than 157 g/m2 (41.8 lb.), enough image quality may not be able to be obtained.
Automatic size detection does not work properly when A/B format originals are used in equipment for North
America. It does not work properly when LT format originals are used in equipment other than that for North
America.
Do not place any heavy objects (4 kg (9 lb.) or over) on the original glass and do not press on it with force.
Be sure to place ST-size or A5-size originals in a landscape direction when using the ADF.
A maximum of 1000 sheets can be scanned per 1 copy job or up until the embedded memory becomes full.
There are precautions in addition to the ones above regarding originals to be faxed. For details, refer to the GD-1370
Fax Guide.

Using the ADF
Precautions for using the ADF
Do not load unacceptable originals in the ADF.
P.39 “Unacceptable originals”
If you scan mixed-size originals at a time or scan some types of paper of originals using the ADF, a distortion may occur
on your scan result.
When black streaks appear on printouts
If the scanning area or the guide area is dirty, image trouble such as black streaks may occur on printouts. Weekly
cleaning of these areas is recommended. For cleaning, refer to the Quick Start Guide.
For placing laterally-long originals at the RADF or using the DSDF
The original stopper prevents the scanned originals from falling off. Pull it out from the ADF and raise the sub-stopper.
For using the RADF, if you do not raise the sub-stopper with laterally-long or large originals, paper jamming may
occur.
For using the DSDF, if you do not raise the sub-stopper, paper jamming may occur depending on your paper or the
exited originals may fall off the stacker.
Lower the sub-stopper and slightly lift the original stopper to push it back in after you have finished using it.

Scanning originals with the ADF at copying
Place originals at the ADF.
Align all the originals.
1
Collate the originals in the order that you want them to be copied. The top sheet of the originals will be copied
first.
Place the originals with their face up and align the side guides to the original length.
2
PLACING ORIGINALS
When using the DSDF, originals are acceptable up to 300 sheets (35 to 80 g/m2 (9.3 to 20 lb.)) or 38 mm (1.50")
in height, regardless of their sizes.
When using the RADF, originals are acceptable up to 100 sheets (35 to 80 g/m
in height, regardless of their sizes.
When using the DSDF, passages of a large number of originals with curled wavily may cause paper jamming. In
that case, reduce the number of the originals.
For mixed-size originals, see the following page:
P.45 “Scanning mixed-size originals in one operation”
When using the DSDF, the paper feeding tray will automatically move upwards in ten seconds after placing
