Orientation of Originals
You can place the original either vertically or horizontally. Always align the top edge of your
original with the back edge of the platen glass (top left corner by the arrow) or the feeder.
IMPORTANT
•
If the top edge of the original is not aligned with the back edge of the platen glass (top left corner by
the arrow), prints may not be made correctly, depending on the mode you have set.
•
If an original is scanned facing the wrong direction, the sender information will not be printed at the
correct position on the fax.
NOTE
•
LTR and STMT-size originals can be placed either vertically or horizontally. However, the scanning
speed for horizontally placed originals is somewhat slower than for vertically placed originals.
•
You can place originals horizontally when printing with Preset Zoom mode, such as when processing
LTR 11" x 17".
•
Horizontally placed LTR and STMT-size originals are referred to as LTRR and STMTR.
•
11" x 17" and LGL-size originals must be placed horizontally.
•
For instructions explaining how to set the original and available paper size/type, see the Reference
Guide.
