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.

Horizontal Placement

• 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 copy 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 that of vertically placed originals. Place originals horizontally when copying with a Preset Zoom, such as when enlarging an A4 original onto A3 paper.

• Platen glass: A4, B5, and A5

• Feeder: A4 and B5

• Horizontally placed A4, B5, and A5 originals are referred to as A4R, B5R, and A5R.

• A3 and B4 originals must be placed horizontally.
