7.4.3 Originals that can be loaded on the original glass
Use the original glass when originals are not suitable for use with the ADF, or when setting copying conditions
incompatible with the ADF.
The machine will detect the original size automatically when the original is positioned on the original glass
with ADF closed, then select an appropriate paper size automatically by Auto Paper Select function.
Observe the following precautions when placing the original on the original glass.
- The size of original printed on paper in inch sizes (such as 11 e 17, 8-1/2 e 14, 8-1/2 e 11) cannot be
automatically detected. The setting must be specified by the technical representative. For details,
contact the service representative.
- If a custom-sized original is positioned, the "Auto Paper Select" and "Auto Zoom" settings cannot be
used since the original size cannot be detected automatically. If a custom-sized original is positioned,
select the size of the paper to be copied.
- If highly translucent or transparent original, such as overhead transparencies or trace paper, are
positioned, the original size cannot be detected automatically. Place a blank sheet of paper of the same
size over the original.
- Do not place objects exceeding 6.8 kg on the original glass, otherwise the original glass may be
damaged.
- If a book is placed on the original glass, do not press it down extremely hard, otherwise the original
glass may be damaged.
