Document Precautions (Using the Original Glass)
Observe the following precautions when placing the document on the original glass.
Handle the documents as described.
Standard-/non-standard-sized documents
● The paper size of documents printed on A4 L/C, A3 L, or 5-1/2 × 8-1/2 L
Foolscap paper cannot be automatically detected.
● The document size cannot be detected automatically, therefore, the “Auto
Paper Select” setting and the “Auto Zoom” setting cannot be used.
● In the Basic screen, touch [Paper/Size], and then select the appropriate paper
size setting.
● For details on selecting the paper size, refer to “Selecting a Paper/Size Setting”
on page 3-18.
Highly translucent or transparent documents, such as overhead projector
transparencies or diazo photosensitive paper
● The document size cannot be detected automatically. Place a blank sheet of
paper of the same size over the document.
Thick objects, such as books
● With thick books, the original cover, or the reverse automatic document feeder
if it is installed, cannot be closed. Scan the document without closing the original
cover or the reverse automatic document feeder.
● Do not place objects exceeding 4-1/2 lb on the original glass. In addition, if a book
is placed on the original glass, do not press it down extremely hard, otherwise the
original glass may be damaged.
Small-Sized Documents
If a document that is too small to be automatically detected is loaded with the “Auto
Paper Select” setting selected, copies cannot be made.
However, changing the setting of the “Auto-select paper for small originals” function
on the User’s Choice: 2 screen allows copying to begin even if the paper size
cannot automatically be detected.
For details, refer to “Setting the “Auto-select paper for small originals” Function” on
page 10-23.
Centering
If the document is smaller than the size of the selected paper, the image is printed
in the center of the paper.
Whether or not the image is centered in the paper can be specified using the
“Centering” function on the User’s Choice: 2 screen. For details, refer to “Setting the
“Centering” Function” on page 10-26.
