Setting Originals
In this manual an original can mean a
single or multiple page document.
You can set your originals either in
the Document Feeder or on the expo-
sure glass. Some types of originals are
unsuitable for the Document Feeder
so they must be set on the exposure
glass.
Which way you place your original
depends on its size and whether you
are using the Document Feeder or the
exposure glass.

documents on the exposure glass,
they will not be detected.
Note
❒ When sending a fax, the image
output at the other end depends on
the size and direction of paper
used in the receiver's terminal. If
the receiver does not use paper of
the same size and direction as that
of the original, the fax image may
be output reduced, trimmed at the
both edges, or divided into two or
more sheets. When sending an im-
portant original, we recommend
that you ask the receiver about the
size and direction of the paper
used in their terminal.
❒ When sending an original of an ir-
regular (i.e. non-standard) size or
part of a large original, you can
specify the scan area precisely.
❒ You can scan non-standard size
documents as standard size docu-
ments with the Irregular Scan Area
feature. When you turn on this fea-
ture, the area scanned will be in the
specified range regardless of the
actual document size. A blank
margin will appear or the image
will be truncated at the receiving
end.
❒ Make sure that all ink, correcting
fluid etc., has completely dried be-
fore setting your original. If it is
still wet, the exposure glass will be
marked and those marks will ap-
pear on the received image.
❒ If you set an 8

the machine rotates the image by
90 degrees before sending it. See
Chapter 3 “Transmission with Im-
age Rotation” in the Advanced
Features manual.
