2-2 Document Handling ● Do not place the document on the platen glass or in the ADF until the glue, ink or correction fluid on the document is completely dry. ● Remove all fasteners (staples, paper clips, etc.) before loading the document in the ADF.
Scanning Area Make sure your document’s text and graphics fall within the shaded area in the following diagram. Note that the margin widths listed are approximate and there may be slight variations in actual use.
Loading Documents On the Platen Glass Lift up the platen glass cover. 2 Place your document face down. 3 Align the document with the appropriate paper size marks. Document Handling 1 If your document does not match any of the paper size marks, align the center of your document with the arrow mark.
4 Gently lower the platen glass cover. Document Handling The document is ready for scanning. CAUTION – When closing the platen glass cover, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in personal injury. – Do not press down the platen glass cover forcefully, as this may damage the platen glass and cause personal injury. NOTE Remove the document from the platen glass when scanning is complete.
In the ADF Fan the document stack and even the edges. 2 Adjust the slide guides to the width of the documents.
Document Handling 3 Neatly place the documents face up in the document feeder tray. The document is ready for scanning. NOTE – Do not add or remove documents while they are being scanned. – When scanning is complete, remove the documents from the document delivery tray to avoid paper jams. – Avoid using ADF to scan the same document more than 30 times. When scanned repeatedly, documents can become folded or torn, which may cause paper jams.

If a Power Failure Occurs Troubleshooting If power is suddenly lost due to an outage or accidental unplugging, a built-in battery retains the user data settings and the speed dialing settings. Any sent or received documents stored in memory are backed up for about 60 minutes. During a power cut, functions are limited as follows: – You cannot send, receive, copy, scan, or print documents. – You may not be able to make telephone calls using an external telephone, depending on the type of telephone you use.
If You Cannot Solve a Problem If you cannot solve a problem after having referred to the information in this chapter, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
