AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

This section explains how to place originals in the automatic document feeder.

Place originals of different sizes together, if needed, in the automatic document feeder. In that case, use the "Others" function in each mode to set [Mixed Size Original].
See the following pages for the combinations of document sizes that can be loaded.

SCANNING ORIGINALS OF DIFFERENT SIZES (MIXED SIZE ORIGINAL)

Before inserting originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips.
If originals have damp spots due to correction fluid, ink or paste up glue, wait until the originals are dry before making copies. Otherwise the interior of the machine or the document glass may be soiled.
Do not use the following originals. Transparency film or other transparent material for backup copy, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals printed with thermal transfer ink ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the feeder should not be damaged, crumpled, folded, loosely pasted together, or have cut-out holes. Originals with multiple punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly.
Business cards may not be scanned correctly depending on the condition, material, shape and processing method used.
When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the punched edge is at a position away from the feed slot of the document feeder tray. Specify the orientation of the original using [Original].

Depending on the condition of the original, the type of paper, and the temperature and humidity of the environment in which the machine is used, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at the same time and may not be scanned correctly, or the ejected originals may not be neatly aligned.

For copying: Set the resolution to 600x600dpi
For scan transmission: use "Preview"

When the document rolls in the original exit tray on the automatic document feeder in the BP-B550WD, fix the paper fixing arm at the center to the top.

In fax or Imaging send mode, to load a 19-11/16" (500 mm) long original, you need to set the scan size to [Long Size]. In fax mode, see " SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE IN PAPER SIZE" and " SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE USING NUMERIC VALUES", and in image sending mode, see " SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE IN PAPER SIZE" and " SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE USING NUMERIC VALUES".

Allowed original weights

BP-B540WR

1-sided scanning: 13 to 28 lbs Bond (50 to 105 g/m²)

2-sided scanning: 13 to 28 lbs Bondx (50 to 105 g/m ²)

Business card: 0.1 to 0.2 mm

Business cards cannot be two-sided scanned.

BP-B550WD
