 Precautions for using the ADF

Do not load unacceptable originals in the ADF.
 P.33 “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 originals at the ADF

The original stopper prevents the scanned originals from falling off. Pull it out from the ADF and raise the sub-stopper.
If you do not raise the sub-stopper, paper misfeeding may occur depending on your paper or the exited originals may
fall off the exit tray.

Lower the sub-stopper and slightly lift the original stopper to push it back in after you have finished using it.
