Placing Originals 2-7Basic Operations2NOTE• If the top edge of the original is not aligned with the back edge of the platen glass (by thearrow in the top left corner), your original may not be scanned correctly, depending on thecopy mode you have set.• A4, A5, and B5 originals can be placed either vertically or horizontally. However, thescanning speed for horizontally placed originals is somewhat slower than for verticallyplaced originals. Place originals horizontally when printing with a preset copy ratio, suchas when enlarging an A4 or A5 original onto A3 paper. (See Chapter 1, “BasicOperations,” in the Copying Guide.)• Horizontally placed A4, A5, and B5 originals are referred to as A4R, A5R, and B5R.• A3 and B4 originals must be placed horizontally.• To achieve the same output orientation using the optional feeder as when the original isplaced on the platen glass, place the original upside down and face up. However, if anappropriate size of paper is not loaded for the Staple mode, the output is rotatedautomatically.Vertical PlacementPlace theoriginalface up.Horizontal PlacementPlace theoriginalface up.Feeder (View from Above)
