Setting Originals Setting Originals The following explains the procedure for placing originals on the exposure glass and in the ARDF, and setting the scan area and orientation according to how you have set your originals. To correctly display the top/bottom orientation of the scanned original on a client computer, the placement of the original and the settings made on the control panel and scanner driver must match. Placing Originals Place originals in one of the two orientations show in the table below.
Using the TWAIN Scanner Function Placing on the Exposure Glass Originals that do not fit into the ARDF, such as sheets with glued-on parts, books, etc., can be placed directly on the exposure glass for scanning. Note ❒ For details about originals that you can place on the exposure glass, see Copy Reference.

Appendix The Scanner Function Relationship between Resolution and File Size Resolution and scan area are inversely related. The higher the resolution is set, the smaller the area that can be scanned. Similarly, the larger the scan area, the lower the resolution that can be set. The relationship between scanning resolution and file size is shown below. If the file size is too large, the message “Exceeded max.data capacity. Check the scanning resolution.
