Loading Originals (ICMF 7400 series)

Place your originals on the platen glass or into the feeder, depending on the size and type of the original, and the scan modes that you want to use.

Platen Glass

Place the originals on the platen glass when scanning bound originals (such as books and magazines), heavyweight or lightweight originals, and transparencies.

Feeder

Place the originals into the feeder when you want to scan several originals at the same time, and press (Start). The machine automatically feeds the originals to the scanning area and scans them. Two-sided originals can also be automatically turned over and scanned as two-sided originals.

Original Sizes

The size of the original is automatically detected, and the document is scanned. If the output paper in the recipient's machine is not equal to the scanned size, the original image may be reduced in size or divided into smaller parts before it is sent. The machine cannot always detect the size of the original if it is a nonstandard paper size, such as a book. In this case, specify the size at which you want to scan the original.

Orientation

You can place an original either vertically or horizontally. Always align the top edge of your original with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in the top left corner) or the back edge of the feeder.

Platen Glass

Feeder

note:

-If the top edge of the original is not aligned with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in the top left corner), your original may not be scanned correctly, depending on the scan mode that you have set.

-Originals of the following sizes can be placed either vertically or horizontally. However, the scanning speed for horizontally placed originals is somewhat slower than vertically placed ones. Place originals horizontally when scanning with a Preset Zoom, such as when enlarging an LTR original onto 11" x 17" paper.

- Platen glass: LTR, STMT

- Feeder: LTR

-Horizontally placed LTR and STMT originals are referred to as LTRR and STMTR.

-11" x 17" and LGL originals must be placed horizontally on the feeder.

On the Platen Glass

note:

The machine automatically detects the size of the following originals: 11" x 17", LGL, LTR, and LTRR.

1. Lift the feeder.

note:

This machine is equipped with an open/close sensor (A) on the feeder (see circled area in the above illustration). When placing originals on the platen glass, lift the feeder high enough so that the sensor does not touch the feeder. If the sensor continues to touch the feeder, the size of the originals may not be detected correctly.

2. Place your original face down.

The surface of the original that you want to scan must be placed face down.

Align the top edge of your original with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in the top left corner).

Place books and other bound originals on the platen glass in the same way.

note:

When you are enlarging an LTR or STMT original onto 11" x 17" or LGL paper, place the original horizontally on the platen glass, and align it with the LTRR or STMTR marks.

3. Gently close the feeder.

attention:

- Close the feeder gently to avoid catching your hands, as this may result in personal injury.

- Do not press down hard on the feeder when using the platen glass to make copies of thick books. Doing so may damage the platen glass and result in personal injury.

note:

- If you are placing the original on the platen glass, the size of the original is detected after the feeder is closed. Make sure to close the feeder before scanning.

- Open the feeder and remove the original from the platen glass when scanning is complete.

- The machine cannot detect the size of STMT and STMTR originals that are placed on the platen glass. After pressing (Start), follow the instructions on the screen to specify the original size. You can also manually select the paper size.

Into the Feeder

note:

- If the same original is fed through the feeder repeatedly, the original may fold or become creased, and make feeding impossible. Limit repeated feeding to a maximum of 30 times (this number varies, depending on the type and quality of the original).

- If the feeder rollers are dirty from scanning originals written in pencil, perform the feeder cleaning procedure.

- Always smooth out any folds in your originals before placing them into the feeder. ?Set the originals one by one if they are very thin (10 to 16 lb (37 to 52 g/m2)) or very thick (28 to 32 lb bond (105 to 128 g/sq.m.)).

-11" x 17" and LGL originals must be placed horizontally in the feeder.

1. Adjust the slide guides to fit the size of your originals.

2. Neatly place your originals with the side to be copied face up into the original supply tray.

Place your originals into the feeder as far as they will go. If any dirt on the original scanning area is detected when the originals are placed in the feeder, the following screen appears. Even though streaks may appear on the copies, you can continue to scan your originals by pressing [Done]. It is recommended, however, that you open the feeder, clean the scanning area, and then close the feeder. The following screen will not appear once the scanning area is clean.

note:

- Do not add or remove originals while they are being scanned.

- When scanning is complete, remove the originals from the original output area (A) to avoid paper jams.

- When you are enlarging an LTR or STMT original onto 11" x 17" or LGL paper, place the original horizontally.

- The scanned originals are output to the original output area in the order that they are fed into the feeder.

- You can place different size originals together into the feeder if you set the Different Size Originals mode.

- 11" x 17" and LGL originals must be placed horizontally on the feeder.
