and copy onto a variety of paper types, weights, sizes, and transparency  
films. It is important, however, that you choose the right paper and make  
sure that it is loaded correctly and not damaged.  
load originals  
You can copy or scan any original by placing it on the glass.  
Many of the Reduce/Enlarge options, such as Fit to  
Page or Poster, will not work correctly if the glass  
and lid backing are not clean. For more information,  
see clean the glass and clean the lid backing on  
page 25.

Lift the lid and place the original face down on the glass in the front-  
right corner with the sides of the originals touching the right and  
bottom edges.  
It is important to use the front-right corner when using the copy feature.  
Tip! If you are copying from a transparency (that is, your  
original is printed on transparency film), place a blank piece  
of paper on top of the transparency.
