Follow the steps below to load paper into the Automatic Document Feeder.

Note:

Make sure no documents or dust is on the document table when using the Automatic Document Feeder. Dust on the document table near the carriage home position may result in vertical lines on the scanned images.

Opening the Automatic Document Feeder or its cover while it is operating results in an option error, and paper feeding stops.

Pull out the paper support.

Slide the right edge guide all the way to the right.

Insert the paper stack into the Automatic Document Feeder until it meets resistance. Make sure that the side you want to scan is facing up. Then move the right edge guide so it is flush with the right edge of your paper.

Documents are output into the lower tray after scanning is finished.

Note:

Before starting scanning, be sure to select ADF in the Document Source settings.

In the following situations, see the respective sections for problem-solving information:

When paper is jammed, see Fixing Paper Jams in the Automatic Document Feeder.

When a scanned image has unwanted lines, see A line of dots always appears in the scanned image.
