Load Documents in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)

The ADF can hold multiple pages and feeds each sheet individually.
  • DO NOT pull on the document while it is feeding.
  • DO NOT use paper that is curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paper clipped, glued, or taped.
  • DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper, or fabric.
  • Make sure paper with correction fluid or ink is completely dry before use.

Use paper that is within the sizes and weights shown in the table. Always fan the pages before placing them in the ADF.
