  • Photos

  • Booklets

  • Non-paper originals (such as clear files, fabric, and metal foil)

Note:
  • Do not feed valuable original artwork or important documents that you do not want to damage or deface into the ADF. Misfeeding may wrinkle or damage the original. For these types of originals, use the scanner glass.
