Platen Glass
You should use the platen glass when copying bound originals (such as books and
magazines), heavy or lightweight originals, and transparencies. You should also
place originals onto the platen glass when you want to copy an 11" x 17" original
with an image that extends all the way to the edges without the periphery of the
original being cut off. (See Chapter 1, "Introduction to the Copy Functions," or
Chapter 3, "Basic Copying Features," in the
Copying and Mail Box Guide , or
Chapter 3, "Basic Scanning Features," in the Sending and Facsimile Guide .)
NOTE
The machine automatically detects the size of the following originals: 11" x 17", LGL,
LTR, and LTRR.

Lift the feeder/platen cover.
IMPORTANT
This machine is equipped with an open/close sensor on the feeder/platen cover
(see circled area in the above illustration). When placing originals on the platen
glass, lift the feeder/platen cover approximately 11 7/8" (300 mm) so that the
sensor detaches from the feeder/platen cover. If the sensor does not detach from
the feeder/platen cover, the size of the originals may not be detected correctly.
