Pull out the paper support.

Slide the right edge guide all the way to the right.

Insert the paper stack into the Automatic Document Feeder until it meets resistance. Make sure that the side you want to scan is facing up. Then move the right edge guide so it is flush with the right edge of your paper.

Documents are outputted into the lower tray after scanning is finished.

Note:

Before starting scanning, be sure to select ADF in the Document Source settings.
