Originals
Size and Weight Restrictions
Usable originals are as follows.
* The paper weight limit differs depending on which sides of the original are scanned. Scanning sides can be speci-
fied using “Scanning Side -ADF”. )p.158
• Originals are scanned according to the size of paper placed on the Paper Feed Tray when masters are made; for
the same width, the positions of the Feed Tray Paper Guides.
When the placed paper is smaller than an original, not the entire original will be scanned.

in unexpected dirt in the area beyond the size of the original.
