SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SIZE (page 35)

• When placing a non-standard size original on the document glass, you can make it easier for the size to be detected by placing a blank sheet of A4, B5 (8-1/2" x 11", 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"), or other standard size of paper on top of the original.

Standard original placement orientations

Place originals in the document feeder tray or on the document glass so that the top and bottom of the original are oriented as shown below. If originals are placed in the wrong orientation, staples will be incorrectly positioned and some special features may not give the expected result. For more information on placing the original, see "3. ORIGINAL" in the User's Guide.
