To load an original in the document feeder
1. Load your original print-side up into the document feeder.
a. If you are loading an original printed in portrait orientation, place the pages so that the top edge of the
document goes in first. If you are loading an original printed in landscape orientation, place the pages
so that the left edge of the document goes in first.
b. Slide the paper into the document feeder until you hear a tone or see a message on the printer control
panel display indicating that the loaded pages were detected.
NOTE: Placing unsuitable originals in the document feeder can cause paper misfeeds or black lines, or
result in damage to the originals.
