Scanning
ADF
Scanner glass
Use the ADF for multiple
‑
page documents.
Note:
The ADF is available only on select models. If
you purchased a printer without an ADF, then load
original documents or photos on the scanner glass.
Use the scanner glass for single pages, small items
(such as postcards or photos), transparencies, photo
paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings).
Tips for scanning
•
Use the scanner glass when scanning two
‑
sided pages if your printer does not support duplex scanning
or the ADF does not support the original document size.
•
When using the ADF, adjust the paper guide on the ADF to the width of the original document.
•
When using the scanner glass, close the scanner cover, if possible, to avoid dark edges on the scanned
image.
•
Do
not
load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as
magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
•
When the document to be scanned is in place with the settings you want, press
to start scanning.
