USING THE S900 AS A COPIER > 17

LOADING PAPER

You can load the document to be copied either on the glass (flatbed) or into the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder). To copy a multi-page document, load the document into the ADF. The ADF can hold up to 50 pages at one time. If you need to copy pages from books, newspaper clippings, or paper with wrinkles or curls, use the glass.

PAPER SIZE AUTO DETECTION

The S900 has an automatic paper size detection function. When you place the document to be copied either on the glass (flatbed) or in the ADF, the paper size area will indicate the matching paper size with an illuminated LED on the Paper Supply panel. However, the paper sizes which can be detected are limited and differ between the Flatbed and ADF. The detectable paper sizes depend on how

Supply

in the Additional Settings menu is set (

(See Appendix D.)

Refer to the following tables, where LEF indicates Long Edge First and SEF indicates Short Edge First:
