Note Note Note Selecting media to copy or scan The copier/scanner for the printer can handle a broader range of media sizes and types than the printer itself can. The following are the supported media sizes: ! Minimum: 45 by 89 mm (1.7 by 3.5 inches) ! Maximum: 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches) In addition, you can scan and copy many different types of media that are typically not used for printing, such as newsprint, photographs, business receipts, and business cards. You must use a carrier sheet to feed small or delicate originals, such as newsprint, through the copier/scanner without causing a jam. To make a carrier sheet, use a piece of paper and a transparency, tape the leading edges together, and load your original between the sheets. You must feed business cards and any media that is smaller than 76.2 by 27 mm (3 by 5 inches) through the straight-through output path. You can also tape them to the leading edge of a carrier sheet and feed them to the straight-through output bin. Perform the following actions to minimize the possibility of jams: ! Remove self-stick notes. ! Remove staples and paper clips. ! Straighten any curls or wrinkles in documents before putting them into the document feeder tray. ! Do not insert any document with glue, correction fluid, or wet ink on it. ! Do not insert gum-backed paper or labels. ! Place documents with tears, perforations, or punch holes in a carrier sheet, which you can buy or make. (See the user guide.) ! Avoid multiple-copy forms. ! Do not scan originals that are larger or smaller than supported size limitations. See the user guide for more information. To obtain good results, it is important that you use the correct resolution and color settings for your job. See the user guide for more information. 34 Chapter 2 - Installation and operation EN
