Chapter 2 Basic Copying
Original Placement
Place the original in the following locations depending on its size and the copy mode in
use.
■
Orientation of originals
You can place originals either vertically or horizontally. Always align the top edge of the
original with the far side edge (from the control panel) of the platen glass.
NOTICE:
❍
Failure to do so may prevent you from making copies in the usual way depending on the copy settings that
have been selected.
MEMO:
●
LTR-size originals can be placed either vertically or horizontally. However, the copy speed for vertically
placed paper is somewhat faster than that for horizontally placed paper. Place the originals horizontally
when using preset copy ratios to convert one standard paper size to another (e.g. when converting an LTR-
size original to an 11" x 17"-size copy, using preset copy ratio). (LTR-R-sizes refer to horizontally placed
LTR-size paper.)
●
11" x 17", LGL-size originals must be placed horizontally.

Placing the Original on the Platen Glass
You should use the platen glass when the feeder (optional accessory) is not attached or
when making copies of such items as books, originals on heavier weight paper and trans-
parencies, etc.
