• When loading an original written by pencil on the ADF, the original may be dirty from by being
scraped.
• Correct an original that tends to curl before setting on the machine.
• Fan sheets before loading so that multiple originals do not stick to each other and are not fed at the
same time. Be especially careful to fan multiple originals with punched holes and multiple originals
from which staples and clips have been removed.
