Choose acceptable media for the ADF
The ADF works best when the originals meet the following specifications:
●
Standard media of A4-, U.S. letter-, and legal-sized paper
● Nonstandard media ranging in size from 88.9 by 127 mm (3.5 by 5 inches) to 216
by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches)
● Media weights from 60 to 90 g/m 2 (16 to 24 lbs)
● Media that is square- or rectangular-shaped and in good condition
● Media that is free of perforations or punch holes
● Media that is free of wet glue, correction fluid, or ink
Note Avoid putting multipart forms, transparencies, magazine pages,
gum-backed pages, and lightweight paper in the ADF.
Before placing an original in the ADF, check for and remove:
●
Curls or wrinkles
● Staples, paper clips, and any other attached material
If the originals do not meet these criteria, scan from the scanner glass.
