Placing Originals
Place your originals on the platen glass or into the feeder, depending on the size
and type of the original, and the send settings that you have specified.
■
Platen Glass
Place the originals on the platen glass when scanning bound originals (such as books and
magazines), heavy or lightweight originals, and transparencies.
■
Feeder (DADF-P1)
Place the originals into the feeder when you want to scan several originals at the same
time, and press [Start].The machine automatically feeds the original to the scanning area
and scans them. In addition, if you set the Two-Sided Original mode, the both sides of a
two-sided original can be scanned without the need for turning over the sheet manually.
Document Sizes
If you place the original on the platen glass of the imageRUNNER 2016 model, or if
the machine cannot detect the original size, you should specify the original size
after pressing [Start]. If the output paper in the recipient’s machine is not equal to
the scanned size, the original image may be reduced in size or divided into smaller
parts before it is sent.
Even the imageRUNNER 2020 cannot always detect the size of the original if it is a
non standard paper size, such as a book. In this case, specify the size at which you
want to scan the original. (See Chapter 1, “Basic Copying Features,” in the
Copying
Guide
.)
Orientation
You can place an original either vertically or horizontally. Always align the top edge
of your original with the back edge of the platen glass (by the arrow in the top left
corner) or the back edge of the feeder.
