Preparing the Document5-2Using the Machine as a Copier5Preparing the DocumentFollow these simple guidelines to check your document before you set thedocument on the machine for copying.IMPORTANT• For best results, load only documents of recommended standard size and weight. (See“Documents You Can Scan,” on p. 14-4.)• To avoid document jams, never feed thick documents or documents backed with carbonpaper.• To avoid document jams and possible damage to the machine, avoid wrinkled or creasedpaper, carbon paper, curled paper, coated paper, and onion skin or other very thinpapers.• To avoid paper jams or damaging the machine, inspect the documents carefully andmake sure they are free of pins, staples, paper clips, and other metal fasteners.• Make sure all of the documents are dry. They should not have wet ink, glue, or paste ontheir surfaces.• Before you feed a stack of documents into the machine, make sure all the pages are ofthe same size and thickness. Do not attempt to feed documents of mixed sizes andthicknesses in the same stack.NOTE• The document guides on the document feeder tray can be adjusted to the width ofnonstandard size paper. For best results, however, all sheets in the stack should be of thesame width.• Although the document guides on the document feeder tray indicate that 11" x 17" papercan be placed in the document feeder tray, the effective scanning width is up to 10" (B4)paper.• The machine does not scan completely to the edges of the paper, and anything beyondthis recommended margin is not scanned for copying. (See “Documents You Can Scan,”on p. 14-4.)
