BEFORE USING THE MACHINE►HOW TO PLACE THE ORIGINAL
AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER
This section explains how to place originals in the automatic document feeder.
• Place originals of different sizes together, if needed, in the automatic document feeder. In that case, use the "Others" 
function in each mode to set [Mixed Size Original]. An original cannot be detected if all pages are of the same size but 
some of them are set in a different orientation.
• Before inserting originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.
• If originals have damp spots due to correction fluid, ink or paste up glue, wait until the originals are dry before making 
copies. Otherwise the interior of the machine or the document glass may be soiled.
• Do not use the following originals. Incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds, and smudges may result.
Transparency film or other transparent material for backup copy, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals 
printed with thermal transfer ink ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the 
feeder should not be damaged, crumpled, folded, loosely pasted together, or have cut-out holes. Originals with multiple 
punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly.
• When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the punched edge is at a position away from the feed slot 
of the document feeder tray. Specify the orientation of the original using [Original].
• For a thin original (35 g/m
2
 - 49 g/m
2
 (9 lbs. to 14 lbs.)), use [Slow Scan Mode] in the "Others". For this type, 2-sided 
scanning is disabled.
• On the MX-M2651/MX-M3051/MX-M3551/MX-M4051/MX-M5051/MX-M6051, when the document rolls in the original exit 
tray on the automatic document feeder, fix the paper fixing arm at the centre to the top.
