Placing the Original on the Original Glass

Loading the original into the Original Glass

Using the Original Glass allows you to scan an original such as a book or card, which is not available in the ADF. The maximum allowable weight of an original is 6-5/8 lb (3 kg).

1. Open the ADF.

2. Load the original into the Original Glass with the required side facing downward.

   • Place the top side of the original at the back, and align the original to the mark at the left rear of the Original Scale. When loading in a different orientation, be sure to specify the loading direction of originals.

   • For details on the loading direction of originals, refer to Here.

   • When copying a highly transparent original such as transparencies or tracing paper, place a blank sheet that is the same size as the original on the original to enable clear scanning.

   

   • Do not place an original heavier than 6-5/8 lb (3 kg) on the original glass. Furthermore, do not use a excessive force to press down on a book or any other form of original that must be spread on the original glass. Otherwise, the machine may be damaged or a failure may occur.

3. Close the ADF.

   

   • When placing a thick book or a three-dimensional object, you do not need to close the ADF to scan it. A bright light may be emitted through the Original Glass. Be careful not to look directly at it. Note, however, that the light coming through the original glass is not a laser beam, and will not expose the user to related hazards.
