Automatic Document Feeder Printers

On HP printers, the automatic document feeder is typically a tray located on top of the scanner unit where you load a stack of pages. The printer's internal rollers then feed each sheet through the scan bar automatically, letting you copy, scan, or fax multi-page documents without repositioning pages one by one.

Sharp automatic document feeder printers offered by Southern Office Machines support integrated print, copy, scan, and fax functions in a single device. The ADF automates multi-page handling for copying and scanning tasks, while the core printer engine handles high-speed output ranging from black & white to full color, depending on the model.
