Basic Operations
Platen Glass
You should use the platen glass when scanning bound originals (such as books and
magazines), originals of heavy or lightweight paper, and transparencies. You should also place
originals onto the platen glass when you want to scan an A3 original with an image that extends
all the way to the edges without the periphery of the original being cut off. (See Chapter 1,
"Introduction to the Copying Function," Chapter 3, "Basic Copying and Mail Box Feature," in the
Copying and Mail Box Guide, and Chapter 3, "Basic Scanning Feature," in the Sending and
Facsimile Guide.)
NOTE
The machine automatically detects the size of the following originals: A3, A4, A4R, and A5.
1 Lift the feeder/platen cover.
IMPORTANT
This machine is equipped with an open/close sensor on the feeder/platen cover (see circled area
in the above illustration). When placing originals on the platen glass, lift the feeder/platen cover
about 300 mm so that the sensor detaches from the feeder/platen cover. If the sensor does not
detach from the feeder/platen cover, the size of the originals may not be detected correctly.
