to the type of original being copied.
3.3.1 Loading the original into the ADF
0 Do not load originals that are bound together, for example, with paper clips or staples.

exceeds 80 sheets can be scanned in separate batches. For details, refer to "Scanning the original in

0 If the original is not loaded correctly, it may not be fed in straight or an original misfeed or damage to
the original may occur.

machine, be sure to select the original orientation. For details on selecting the original orientation, refer
to "Selecting the original orientation (Original direction settings)" on page 3-25.

Document Feed Method Features
Using the ADF By using the ADF, a multi-page original can be fed automatically, one page at a
time. This feed method can also be used to automatically scan double-sided orig-
inals.
Using the original glass Place the original directly on the original glass so that it can be scanned. This meth-
od is best with books and other originals that cannot be fed through the ADF.
